Vel'koz, Liss, Viktor, LeBlanc, Xerath, they have 525 auto-attack range. Unless you are forced to use your spells for farming = spells on cooldown, mana-consuming.

I'm comparing Akali to Diana as they work in a similar fashion, Q > R followed by other supporting spells. However, Diana was created as an AP jungler fighter, while Akali is an assassin. Ignoring the 'jungler', she does a surprising amount of burst for a fighter with a shield that protects from counter attacks, just like the old Yasuo/Riven.

Right now she's on the line of fighter and assassin. Passive for sustained damaged with shield (fighter characteristic), versus Q > R's burst with a second Q/R (assassin characteristic).
