An OP champ is identified by having the upper hand in a matchup between two equals, that ends in the claimed OP's favor 7/10 times or more.

Akali is as OP as Katarina, translated that means: Broken as fuck. Her early harass is devastating, taking the low CD and no mana cost into account. Her late game may be the weakest part about her, but the late game is rarely the most important part of a game.

Having an Akali, that knows what to do means having the upper hand from the beginning and unless another lane isn't feeding out of all dimensions, an equally played Akali will always be superior, strengthen the other lanes aswell, due to roaming.

You can't attack her out of your ward's CD. You can't tire her out, due to spellvamp and no mana. You can't even outplay her anymore after reaching Level 6.

Ofc that means, you'll have to get her very soon. With a gank, preferably. That and - taking her advantages early game into account - her skills give it a chance of 50/50 or worse against you to throw it and feed her. Maybe even doubled, if a gank fails. Oh, no worry, you can consider that lane lost.

Yes Akali IS broken. In the hand of a good player every champion is very strong.

But Akali in the hands of a good player familiar with her? OP.
