When she disappears into that smoky donut so does all traces of balance along with her

[wolfchampion]

Akali, one of those champions whose counterplay is "pray they don't know how to play it".

[kouks]

“akali is by far the hardest assassin in the game”
ok not like their ego is big enough already smh

[cat-.-]

Why EVERYONE plays X: because this champion does well on its own
Why NOONE plays X: because this champion helps the team

[mdefunx]

Because 200 years worth of d a s h i n g

[MyronZhang]

You forgot to mention K/DA. Don't underestimate how much those music videos and skins inspired people to play her.

[AtomicBettyGames]

video suggestion: why is fizz still in the game

[SupahFib]

Old Akali will always have a special place in my heart since she’s the champ I got my first pentakill on

[zeph]

Is anyone gonna talk about that baffling urgot teleport at 1:45 ?

"they play champions because they wanna win"

*hellbrute noises, the one who shall not be named, the one who was created in Belle Delphine's image, emerges from the the darket pits of hell*

[godofpotatos]

akalis w is the fairest and most balanced ability ever made
said no one ever

[distraction]

I'd be very interested in a "Why Everyone Plays: Twisted Fate"

He doesn't seem to have the same features and mechanics and flashy combos and 1v5 potential of others in the series, so I'd love to see your take on why he's so popular.

Akali was the second champ I picked up in League. I played about 15-20 levels on JInx, (enough to understand basic game loop for someone with no prior LoL/Moba knowledge), then picked up Akali because she seemed fun. I had no idea that she would be such a difficult player, and I basically learned the game with my first ~100k mastery on her. Certainly was a difficult task, especially because it led to a lot of negative KDAs and things of the like. But now, I have a 60% winrate on her in midlane (300 games.)

Still unranked and likely bronze tho.

[XanKreigor]

I actually liked her old kit, one of the rare hybrid champs and that Shadow dash ability was really fun to use.

[polarroars]

if akali went from why no one plays to why everyone plays maybe there should be a 3rd category called what happened to (champion) it just sounds a little more accurate

[mohamedabusamra]

I play Ahri so I never had an issue landing against Akali but the last 3 weeks I tried to play Akalia and tbh she's so fun to play and she has a lot of damage which why I started to learn her.

[Hellothere-ssjq]

"Giant smokey donut" I don't think I can call it anything else from now on, well done sir

[nelsonfrenchtoast]

I’m so happy your channel has been doing so well! :)

OLD AKALI WAS MY FAVE CHAMP SAME AS ORIANNA, OLD AKALI WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PALCE IN ME HEART

[greatsoup]

I started playing akali when she was just sitting around like 44% wr or so because I got blood moon akali and then really liked her
