Statistical Matchup Analysis

Akali dominates the meta (7th most popular, 6.3% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Lissandra (3.0% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of mid lane's current powerhouses. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Conqueror + Presence of Mind combination (60.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Hextech Rocketbelt, Shadowflame, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 44.1% to 80.4% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Akali's superior farming (6.61 vs 6.53/min, 30th among Mid) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.08 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Akali outputs more damage (798 vs 688/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Skill-based matchup: Identical KDA (2.40) with 44.1% win rate indicates that macro play, team coordination, and clutch moments determine outcomes more than individual mechanics.

How to Beat Lissandra as Akali (Mid)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Akali deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Lissandra deals primarily magic damage (88.81%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Akali is higher farming statistics (ranked 30th among role champions) (versus 32nd for Lissandra), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.

Key aspects of the Akali Mid versus Lissandra Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Akali player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Lissandra player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Akali tips:

  • Akali excels at killing fragile champions. Let your team initiate and then strike at the people in the back.
  • Twilight Shroud offers safety in even the most dangerous situations. Use that time to save up energy for a quick strike later.

Playing Against Lissandra

  • The best way to stop Lissandra from moving using her Glacial Path is to immobilize her before she reactivates it.
  • Lissandra's Ring of Frost has a long cooldown at early ranks; engage her while it's on cooldown.
  • Lissandra's Ice Shard only slows the first unit it hits. Approach Lissandra from behind your team's minions to avoid being slowed.
