The Ultimate Counter to Yasuo, Akali.

Post Body

Hey everyone, today I wanted to make a PSA post about how hard Akali truly counters Yasuo throughout all stages of the game, since I saw a post about people being afraid of yasuo's on the front page of /r/leagueoflegends. I honestly believe that every single part of akali's kit counters every single part of yasuos. Akali is truly very easy to pick up and play at a decent-level and I feel should be an added pocket-pick for those of you that struggle against him. I actually get upset when I see yasuo gets banned, because it's a free win that could have been :(

I made a video guide on the topic with in-game examples for visual learners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcLtEawLvu0

But for those of you that don't want to watch it, basically throughout the entirety of the game, yasuo is hopeless against akali.

Akali can easily remove yasuo's passive shield with her q, since q doesn’t draw minion aggro, has a low cooldown, and doesn't cost any mana being that she’s obviously an energy champion.

Akali really can’t get ulted by yasuo, because if akali would get knocked up by a yasuo she could just go into her shroud, making her untargetable for yasuo’s ult. Especially now, since control wards don’t reveal akali in shroud, yasuo really does have zero chance of killing akali when her shroud is available.

Yasuo's windwall is useless once akali is 6, as she will be too close for him to windwall her Q.

For those of you that decide you want to learn Akali, these are updated, season 7 rework akali guides:
