Akali
Very Hard
38353%-340-550Similar to Sylas to where she can be tanky and do tons of damage, her not using mana, and pokking you is very hard to deal with. Her ultimate is extremely useful but her shroud is the main threat. Be safe for first 3 levels. Play around it being down and don't hang around the shroud. Recommened to ban this matchup

Champion Portrait of Diana
Diana
Very Hard
35242%-32-401One of the few matchups where you play aggressive in levels 1-3 since Diana is even weaker than sylas early. Also Take Ignite. Go for quick trades but not auto attack fights until at least 3. Using Diana's ultimate against her is effective
