This took over 30 hours to make, and is why I haven't posted in a week 😭Be sure to reference the champion matchups section whenever you're loading into a game as Akali for tips on every matchup!

[@ireallydontknowman895]

I respect the grind bro

[@keks7002]

The auerlion sol matchup you described is before rework, hope you can update it!

[@Patientbull]

Legend bro, keep em coming

[@TheNescik]

I wanted to buy a coach to play better with her and needed the information what to build. You just saved my money :D thanks U!

[@magnusvilhj4557]

Do you coach on akali i would really love to be a better akali player but i might really need coaching on her :(

[@aklover7136]

You know the guide is going to be good when the name of the channel has Akali on it.

[@forzajuve4935]

He's a poser. He's not akali rank 1 world lmao.

[@knightgunther5123]

The first pentakill I ever got in League of Legends was when Aram mode was first introduced and I got akali and I have no idea what I did but basically just rolled my face across the keyboard and managed to get the Penta. I haven't played her since but that's probably one of my fondest memories of playing League of Legends.

[@diabolik___6175]

V

[@batmeatshody]

I like going the electrocute runes with precision runes instead of resolve (presence of mind and coup de Grace)

[@gianlucaschmidt2361]

Very well executed video so far man much love

[@hordeke82]

Hey man, I have want to say thank you. I have been wanting a new main for awhile now and Akali has always been a champ I’ve had my eye on. I have always played mage style champs mostly Veigar and Vex when she was released so the transition of play style kept me from doing this sooner. I watched your video and followed your recommendations, practiced combos and kept attention to details like you said. This video has been such a huge help to me and since last night I’ve been on a killing frenzy with majority games won.

[@Cyb3rSiggi]

aw shit, he did it again, thx for the update on ur guide boss. The s12 guide was still one of my favourite ressources for learning the matchups

[@vojtaplacek2665]

i watched this guide and im no longer inting every game ty.

[@bizinder]

Amazing, thank you so much!

[@Aguilakolorkawama]

ever since I started watching your videos since 2020, I have mained Akali. Thankyou for all the builds and gameplays from witch I've learned a lot from. Keep up the good work and I hope I can be as good as you one day

[@Daniel-hf5nq]

Love ya Prof, you quite possibly put the most work into your champ guide out of any of the content creators I've seen. Thanks!

[@professorakali]

Glad you enjoyed it! Happy to help!

[@Akalidatgyal]

I'm so grateful for this. This will help Me alot thank u

[@thesuaveman]

Good vid, I’m new so do you sell the dark seal when inventory fills up and you don’t want mejais?

[@shellyyy3945]

Dawg THANK YOU i ran a 15/6/4 game in draft and got obsessed with tryin learn her combos😂

[@StriderZessei]

Great stuff, Professor!

[@saeedsaedi5290]

All you need to know about akali , thanks for making high quality video such this kevin ❤

[@Mortal14]

This guide is completely out of this world! Thanks for your work! Your gameplay is next level by the way!!

[@N0TJ0HN]

Professor I've been watching u since 2018 when I started playing league and every single year I'm waiting for ur guide just so I can be kept in meta with the best builds, u are putting a great amount of effort in ur videos and I hope u keep the good work up! ❤️

[@Kittykittyboomz]

LETS GOOOOOO FINALLY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A WHILE!!!!!!!!!

[@adee8484]

started watching this in the background as i was queueing in ARAM and got Akali. It's a sign.

[@patrickschwartz6961]

Great guide! I have been trying out mid again🤤 so wanted to find a few champs to use🤩 already playing ahri decently and akali seems to be in kinda the same alley in terms of playstyle/kit if that makes sense😜

[@xXF1shBra1nXx]

this is the best guide for akali ! thank you

[@Maima3333]

Thanks!

[@Ch1pandsalsa]

I found this channel for Ahri, but stayed for akali

[@arthurf.pillon7920]

thx for it

[@d4mbass]

Man youre incredible, im actually a zed mono but like so much of this content +1 sub

[@KKeyKubson]

Hi :) u told us about building lethality akali that is more of "for fun" build but i've never seen u playing/talking about energized attack akali. What u hink about it? It would be similar to AD oneshot thresh build, focusing around energized attack combined with Akali's passive, as most of energized attack items deal magic damage so u can still take Magic pen boots, and only phisical energized item let u stack energized attack faster with dashes (and akali have a lot of dashes as we all know). I'd really like to know your opinion or maybe even a video with it ;) but no pressure XD btw love the guide

[@dragonsnake3688]

whats ur opinion on fleet footwork on akali

[@Acenux]

perfect timing just found akali for me during an aram haha

[@magnusvilhj4557]

I love your videos they are so educational and helpful i would love if i could hire you as a coach for atleast 2 times to help me get better in the akali mechanics still getting the hang of it

[@GFY_Meno]

I don’t play that much league but it is nice to keep up with the metas

[@enesegemenguzel9392]

Hi professor. I picked up playing akali again recently and i love her. One question i have is wouldn't lich bane be better than stormsurge? It can be procced multiple times, has better ap ratio, and has better base stats. Could you explain how stormsurge is better?

[@christopherbonneville3892]

I just tested lich bane and stormsurge and storm surge does more dmg and gives you 25% move speed for 2 seconds after you do 35% dmg to an enemy. Lich bane has 3% more base move speed but storm surge feels 1000 times better in a fight.

[@AkkarinRothen]

Jesus christ what a guide. Now that's alot of effort. Only guide for Akali someone ever needs. Well done!

[@inarifoxking]

I’m still seeing the fleet footwork rune page a lot. Why conquerer over fleet footwork and when would fleet be good?

[@Patientbull]

Fleet is good when you know you won't be going for a kill. Fleet's only goal on Akali is too keep you in lane as long as possible. Conqueror is for extended fights, against a Ornn is good. If you main mid. you should be going Electrocute like 90% of the time.

[@jdturkdrcox]

All the blitz gg guides say to use Fleet mostly, do you agree?

[@Moth131]

idk I just love seeing how good you are

[@thePragma]

Appreciate it

[@tenet378]

You should update the Asol matchup, he got a rework

[@evysama4661]

what runes if ur top vs squishies?

[@bigmaz3783]

3:24:08 correct time stamp for Tristana

[@XDSCNKT]

does anyone maybe have an pdf presentation file for all those match ups??

[@kalejohnson8015]

Can you see when it will execute like Yone and eve

[@monicarr8869]

wait the Asol part is prerework?

[@JesseJamesTR]

What about fleet footwork runes?

[@Samzaf]

hard champ but now i maybe know the basics. i went 13-1 but its in bronze. its my smurf acc, i hope i can jump into akali with my main that is gold 2

[@gavinmackenzie517]

Do you ever share any secrets on how to counter akali. As a katarina main I would like to know lmao

[@akebengtsson1223]

Why do we not build Gunblade now that its back?

[@Captain-qv8yu]

Do I need to be mechanically gifted to play Akali or is it more about muscle memory?

[@user-gs9uv2dy6v]

Teemo said chill in the second match

[@nyoteiko]

Why should I main Akali and why do I do that? Just because she's beautiful

[@tomasscavuzzo5923]

GOAT

[@nando9]

Is this guide still ok for the items after the last changes they made ?

[@professorakali]

build these days is lich bane -> shadowflame -> situational

[@marwinrodriguez6955]

what about a Smolder matchup?

[@andyswr4466]

What to do against veigar

[@daleking8654]

The timestamps seem off - Yorrick for example (3 hours 44) is talking about zed.

[@professorakali]

Ah crap, thank yoy

[@eloilafortune2470]

i am not sure to undertsnad where i can find all the matchup tips and trick like he said at the begining of his video, can someone help to find it?

[@professorakali]

timestamps are being edited in right now, give it a few hours please

[@Karmakuge15]

the play @55:00, "I died a couple of times" , "my jungler fed yasuo, so he has 3 kills".. is there perhaps something wrong with that statement? :D Jokes aside loved the video. Great content!

[@professorakali]

haha thank you

[@yotsu8495]

Did they remove the posibilitie of canceling E1 with R1? i cant do it idk why

[@Konannnn]

if u mean the thing at min 40:20 then u have to just keep spamming E after pressing R

[@jovanplavsic3901]

goat

[@PulseYT95]

So you dont like Fleet Footwork at all?

[@lokkup]

holy akali glaze

[@itami3536]

man idk, i spent most of my life playing and learning akali (personally i think i'm really clean with her and can do all the combo perfectly) and i can't even carry games in bronze 'cause once a garen or any bruiser gets 1 mr item you start doing negative dmg and once you can't 1 vs 5 anymore the game is over, I switched to playing random champs and adcs and got 80% winrate in over 50 games (i'm emerald atm) while a solid 22% with akali

[@itami3536]

I've watched all your videos, i've watched high elo gameplays, i know this champ in and out, know her dmg perfectly and everytime i play her i straight up flex on the enemies so why is it so hard to win a game as akali? she feels so fucking weak compared to other champs that can go 0/15 build 1 item and 1shot you while you try your hardest and have to use more than 2 braincells

[@professorakali]

Have you tried conqueror with riftmaker + liandries?

[@professorakali]

Then just taking smaller trades and outpacing - I think if you watch me vs bruisers top it’ll make a lot of sense

[@oski1500]

I actually want to know why Nashor's Tooth is a troll 😢

[@forbiden1151]

Lichbane over stormsurge after the nerfs to it? @professorakali

[@professorakali]

Lich bane gets nerfed in a few days and stormsurge gets buffed so maybe not worth getting used to lich bane build when it won’t be good next week

[@kikihb5686]

Mas a briar jogou muito bem tbm na vdd

[@kulunkianlonni3871]

Death's dance in the build against an AD team ?

[@ugjopnx..]

The most goated league of legends youtuber❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@Krugmatik]

I feel like akali is not that good when every other champion has 2 CC's on their abilities. If youre playing a champ without CC you are low key griefing these days because they only need to land 1 and you die

[@user-gs9uv2dy6v]

Not me looking at the argument between brair and Darius 😂

[@tedro7870]

Thanks! But the matchup timestamps are off :/

[@professorakali]

Which one is off?

[@tedro7870]

​@@professorakali For example Azir (guess it's a typo and starts just a minute later), but then Talon, Teemo, Tryndamere and Yasuo all seem to start earlier than the timestamp - I didn't check all matchups but it seems that since one of them, all are off by a certain amount :/

[@paullearmonth7058]

2:20:27 darius

[@paullearmonth7058]

missing timestamp

[@kien8968]

guys is it worth to learn how to play akali just so i can use her star guardian skin?

[@professorakali]

yes, she's so much fun

[@kalejohnson8015]

Is litchbain still not good everyone’s running it

[@lennymawet3864]

38:04 so, are you enjoying league again ?

[@professorakali]

very much so

[@user-xv2pv1yl9y]
