Hwei vs Akali Matchup Summary

The Hwei vs Akali matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 62 recent matches analyzed, Hwei wins with a 53.2% win rate compared to Akali's 46.8%, giving Hwei a 6.5 percentage point advantage. Hwei dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Akali players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Hwei leads by 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Hwei players can confidently pick into Akali and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Akali away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
6.2Hwei
5.6Akali
Hwei edges out Akali by 0.6 CS per minute — a moderate farming advantage that adds up to roughly 10 CS over a 15-minute laning phase. This translates to earlier component purchases and slightly faster power spikes for Hwei.
Damage
944Hwei
748Akali
Hwei heavily out-damages Akali by 196 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Akali should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Hwei's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,711Hwei
10,885Akali
Hwei and Akali generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 173 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
0.9Hwei
0.1Akali
Hwei brings significantly more crowd control than Akali, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Hwei far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Akali should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
450Hwei
801Akali
Akali vastly out-sustains Hwei, healing and mitigating 351 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Akali can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Hwei is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Hwei, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
