Akali

Akali is an AP assassin in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 51.1% win rate, 2.8% pick rate, 33,048 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Akali spikes hardest in the mid game around the two-to-three-item mark — that is the window to force fights and objectives.

How Akali wins: using Akali's mobility to catch isolated targets, and roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map. The kit grades 9/10 mobility, 8/10 roaming. Play around where Akali is thin, siege and disengage (2/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.

The most-played core build is Hextech Gunblade, Shadowflame, Zhonya's Hourglass, which holds a 52.7% win rate across 3,619 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.

The matchup to respect is Kled, where Akali sits at just 41.3%, the lane swings the other way into Mel (59.7%), and on the team side, Akali gains the most from a Dr. Mundo (+6.7% pair win rate).
