Zac vs Akali Matchup Summary

The Zac vs Akali matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Zac wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Akali's 40.0%, giving Zac a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Zac 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.

1.9Zac
0.1Akali
Zac brings significantly more crowd control than Akali, with 1.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Zac far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
2,815Zac
873Akali
Zac vastly out-sustains Akali, healing and mitigating 1,943 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Zac can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Akali is forced to recall.
