This 0.35 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Qiyana wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (709 vs 866/min), the 52.3% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact.

The Qiyana versus Akali matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Qiyana deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Akali deals primarily magic damage (86.04%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Qiyana is higher farming statistics (ranked 52nd among role champions) (versus 55th for Akali), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.3 versus 2.1) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Qiyana player to maintain constant pressure on Akali, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
