How to play it

✓

Don't eat her Q

Space her Q and never tank it for free: you're one of Akali's worst matchups when she can't land it.

✓

Punish an empty Q

Make her miss a Q and harass her hard until her energy comes back up.

✓

Respect her shroud

When she drops W, back off: it's a long cooldown, so trade once it's down; your W and R still reveal her inside it.

✕

Never tank her Q's for free: that's the only way this Kennen-favored lane slips.
