oh really? how so? i mean, akali literally only has downsides. well, ok, almost only. she has no poke, her laning is a lot less safe and a lot harder, she cant farm from afar well (q is single target and deals little damage), she uses energy, which in this case actually is a downside (again, diana doesnt really run out of mana. akali? she runs out of energy very quickly), is worse at pushing lacks cc, her defensive skill consists of ok but not amazing armor and mr buffs and invisibility, which is easily countered by an upgraded red trinket which your team will have, at least on the support, her burst is lower (in fact, akali is mostly sustained bursts), her sustained damage is ... well, the same, in a way. she is reliant on getting to melee range or near melee range to deal any damage while having no tools outside of her ultimate to accomplish that, double/triple ults have less uptime and all akali has? sustain, which isnt even that amazing. wow, this was a long list. so, in short, akali has much worse laning phase (being less safe and more farm-starved), worse mid game(more item reliant, less damage, no hard cc and lack of poke), and worse late game (defense too easy to counter, burst is too low/not fast enough, runs out of energy very quickly while diana runs out of mana .... never). err, yeah, how is she better?
