Purchase cost, AD and AP runes (I dont have them) and I need a new runepage all for her. Also, maybe a skin. Stinger is so awesome. That's "expensive". If you're halfway decent at Akali, she's definitely one of the most fun champions in the game. Plus, she has fantastic skins. But yeah, it's a bit of an investment. Personally, I just dove in without ever having played her before and didn't regret it. That's not what most people would advise you to do, though.  Common wisdom is to try the champion when they're free, but I haven't seen Akali free for a looooong time. What I would recommend is buying the champion and holding off on the runes and the skin until you at least have an idea of the playstyle. Play some normals, do a compstomp or two (she's great at blowing up midlane vs. AI, first blood every time), just get a "feel" for her. She's still viable without the level 1 passives, it's just not quite as great. | ||

IMO get more versatile champs first, she is wicked fun... but you'll get better mileage out of other chars. | ||

Thankfully I don't see any mordes these days huehue. | ||

She doesnt work in every team, she has some hard counters, and she requires a big investment of IP (rune page and champ). IMO get more versatile champs first, she is wicked fun... but you'll get better mileage out of other chars. i've been playing for a while now- just not that much in ranked that's all. I've basically copied westrice's rune page so I do have a akali specific page. on a 6 w 1 l tear with her in ranked this weekend ^.~ | ||

You should be so much stronger than him at early levels that by the time he can sustain his shield generation, you should be riding a pretty big gold/XP advantage. | ||

By definition it's terrible on Dominion. Everyone is essentially equally fed, and you heal for 20% less. | ||

You sometimes get that one game where you get fed and just roll over your opponents because they do crap for damage and you spell vamp for infinity health. By definition it's terrible on Dominion. Everyone is essentially equally fed, and you heal for 20% less. What would be the ideal build for Akali on Dominion? | ||

Sure you have massive sustain, but you do shit for damage and you're squishy as heck. gunblade rush is the best way to play akali. it boosts both of your passives and give you a ridiculous burst. i cant think of another item that i would get before gunblade. | ||

That slow allows you to get the double/triple kills, while being tanky enough to survive the damage during the fight. Gunblade gives you 1 slow during the fight, and that sustain won't last during a fight. I've been going boots + pots -> hextech -> blasting/tome/belt/lvl2 boots depending on lane -> rylais -> sheen -> lichbane By the time i get lichbane, i'm just a roflstomp faceroll machine. haven't felt the need for gunblade at all. | ||
