How to counter Akali
Akali is a slippery assassin who turns invisible with her shroud, chains dashes, and executes with her ultimate. She lives off dodging and repositioning, so you stop her with point-and-click damage or reveals that ignore her invisibility, crowd control that pins her, or tanky champions that endure her burst.
- Galio — A magic-resist tank: he tanks her burst with his anti-magic shield and pins her with his taunt; Akali has no damage to kill him.
- Veigar — His cage stuns her if she dashes into it, and his point-and-click damage bursts her while she's pinned in place.
- Twisted Fate — His gold card stuns her, ignoring her shroud, and leaves her exposed for his team to finish.
- Vex — Her passive punishes Akali's dashes, interrupting and fearing her, nullifying her mobility.
