Which champion is better to main akali or diana? (Mid)
I went through extensive elimination to choose what champion to main in the midlane and now i cant make up my mind between those two so i need detailed explaination if possible to support your reasoning. Thank you and add me any time ingame (Jin Sin) EUW
While Akali is a bit item dependent during the early game to start snowballing (Hextec Gunblade), Diana only depends on level-6, what means that you can hit really hard once you get it. Plus, being a tankier assassin, her all-ins are better, since it takes a bit more time to kill Diana, few seconds, but seconds are enough time to kill another assassin or ADC. As well as Diana's Moonpale is such an interesnt defensive and offensive abily that really helps you to directly trade with your opponent, instead of going stealth, but still being vulnerable to smarter enemies.
The only direct difference I see from playing Akali would be the use of her W, Twilight Shroud. Diana and Akali suffer from all-in syndrome, they have no "real" way of getting out other than flash. Diana's E, Moonfall, is a strong AoE soft CC ability that I think out-preforms Twilight Shroud, outside of the fact it stealths Akali. I also believe Diana has more options in an engagement due to her more versatile kit.
tl;dr: I'd personally say Diana.
