Akali Top matchup tips

  1. Akali vs Yone Top - Akali can use Shuriken Flip(E) to follow Yone when he activates Soul Unbound(E), while Twilight Shroud(W) makes his telegraphed Q3 approach harder to track. This gives Akali stronger early all-in control even though Yone scales better.
  2. Akali vs Mordekaiser Top - Akali can punish the gap between Mordekaiser's Obliterate(Q) casts: her Five Point Strike(Q) is available much more often, and her mobility helps her dodge his Q or Death's Grasp(E). Mordekaiser mains note that when he misses Q, Akali can land several Q trades before his three-hit Darkness Rise(P) activates.
  3. Akali vs Gwen Top - When Gwen casts Hallowed Mist, wait for it to end or enter the mist before committing Q or E; attacks and abilities from outside cannot target her.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
