Abandoning the Kinkou Order and her title of the Fist of Shadow, Akali now strikes alone, ready to be the deadly weapon her people need. Though she holds onto all she learned from her master Shen, she has pledged to defend Ionia from its enemies, one kill at a time. Akali may strike in silence, but her message will be heard loud and clear: fear the assassin with no master.

Akali Strengths and Weaknesses

Where Akali stands against every champion this patch, from ranked game stats per minute.

Strengths

  • Damage to champions: better than 73% of champions

Weaknesses

  • Crowd control: below 95% of champions

Akali ranks in the 25.4 percentile for early game strength, 32.7 percentile for late game scaling, 22.4 percentile for objective control, 55.9 percentile for support strength, 7.3 percentile for creep farming, and 30.9 percentile for damage output.

Akali demonstrates unique performance characteristics, with win rates showing a 53.7% decrease from Iron to Chal tiers. This pattern suggests that Akali may be more accessible for newer players while facing increased difficulty against higher-skilled opponents. In Iron tier, Akali achieves a 53.7% win rate, which gradually declines to 0.0% in Chal. This trend often indicates that Akali's strengths can be more effectively countered by experienced players who understand the champion's weaknesses and trading patterns. The declining performance (Iron (53.7%), Bronze (52.4%), Silver (40.3%), Gold (48.0%), Platinum (48.7%)) suggests that while Akali can be effective in lower ranks where opponents may not exploit vulnerabilities, higher-tier players are better equipped to neutralize Akali's advantages. However, this doesn't mean Akali is unviable at higher ranks - rather, it requires more sophisticated strategies, better macro play, and careful matchup selection. Players at higher elos should focus on understanding when to pick Akali, how to play around counters, and maximizing value in favorable matchups. Success with Akali at higher levels demands strong game sense, positioning, and the ability to adapt playstyle based on team compositions and enemy picks.
