Struggling to turn leads into wins

Hey guys

Relatively new to Akali but playing her seriously now. I’ve had a common theme happen in my last 10 games and I’m not sure how to solve it gameplay wise.

Essentially every game goes one of two ways.
I pretty much always dominate lane and end up fed. Enemy mid is tilting and rather useless. I setup objs with team and get picks well.

At this point it goes two ways, enemy team ff and I win. Or they scale and I feel useless late game.

I’m not really sure how to play akali in the late mid game or late game and I try to get picks on enemy adc which I do well, but far too frequently by that point my team is dead and they get objs or end.

Essentially every game is me dominating until mid game, then shit hits the fan and I I’m losing late game.

I am in bronze too, I think my macro is ok but it’s so difficult coordinating a team or having 5 alive because everyone just dies frequently or isn’t where they should be on the map.

Basically I’m wondering, how does akali fit into the late game and what should my primary goals be. And how do I convert my early/mid lead into late game wins if we don’t end early?

Thanks!

Any dedicated akali players to watch?

I’ve been picking up akali recently, and one of the main ways I like to improve is to watch videos and gameplay breakdowns when I heave free time.

I used to watch a lot of petricite when I maimed sylas is there anyone similar to him that’s dedicated in mostly just akali content/fameplay.

What is the difference between Akali top and mid?

I just got into playing Akali and K dont know if I should go top or mid. Is there any Lane that is better or easier. Also is there a big difference in playstyle or build?
What do you prefer and why?

[Pro play] Why is Akali getting banned when Cassiopeia is already picked?

In both T1 vs GENG and KT vs HLE, both games had an early Cassiopeia pick into Akali ban on phase 2, why? Afaik, this matchup is very Cassiopeia favoured, even looking at the team comps as a whole it doesn't seem like Akali provides the best value into the Cassiopeia comp. What makes Akali such a scary pick that it's worth a ban in these scenarios?

Spirit Blossom Akali concepts by Alsie Lau!

"Worked on this piece a bit earlier last year! Wow it's been a while! Akali's always been a super visually interesting champion to me, and its awesome to have the opportunity to paint her in such a fitting thematic. In the story of this skin, Akali refuses to metaphorically "cut out her heart" and forges a path of her own in the spirit blossom universe, and trying to fit that in the symbolism of this splash was a super fun challenge for me. One thing that came to mind while painting this piece was utilizing the masks that are hanging around as symbols for one's heart. As our faces often express what we feel in our hearts, I felt like it was a nice way to tie in the design with the narrative without making the symbolism too obvious. I imagine a "mask" as a representation of our aspirations, our hopes, our dreams, and the person we see ourselves becoming. As she kneels in the middle of the pond surrounded by hanging masks, us as the viewer is confronted with the amount of "hung up dreams" around us, an overwhelming pressure to let go of one's wildest imaginations. I think masks are normally used to represent hiding one's true identity, but with this, I wanted to play with the idea that masks are the ideas of yourself you choose, you can be whatever you choose to become, and in this case, Akali is choosing to keep her own individuality to not cut out her heart. Special thanks to the splash team for helping me along this splash, I've learned so much throughout the years and it is all because of their amazing support and encouragement!"

Is Akali vs Yasuo just a skill matchup?

Laned against a Yasuo (low Dia) who took grasp and started E. Ended taking a negative trade and just got dumpstered most the game. How do you guys normally play the matchup?

This was a frustrating game

My kill count is almost half of our team scores. I'm thankful they had 2 competent players. At the same time I'm thankful that their Naafiri wasn't that good at all. Cause it looked like they were fully built and could start one shotting everyone.

Happy Birthday, Akali! (art by me)

I really owe it to Akali because she had the biggest contribution to my art journey. I figured it's a great time to draw her again on her release day because I'm still getting the hang of my new tablet.

Cool double Q combo for insane burst. (Bug combo but practical)

Combo in video is E1 > E2 > Q > R1 > Q > zhonyas for those curious. This "bug" can be done by buffering Q in your E with your R. Usually it is not practical as it removes your E2 damage unless done pixel perfect but in this case the Aoe of 2 Q's deals more damage than the E2.

TBF: I am super fed so it didn't really matter. Also this was around d1-master mmr a while back but now that account has decayed.

Usually I would look for this combo on front line to burst the backline but its not really needed. I just like pressing buttons

Main Syndra/Vik considering Akali as 3rd pick

Hello, I'm a main control mage with little (but not zero) akali experience and Id like to ask you guys what you think about having Akali as pocket pick? Is she one of these champs that if u dont play her often u just wont be that good? or if I play it once a day Im gonna be relevant?

Which scenarios u guys pick her in the mid lane? against what kind of champ?

Thanks alot in advance ❤️
