How to Play with Lucian as Akali in LoL

Overall, Akali sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lucian. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Lucian helps Akali perform not as well in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

This change could signal that Lucian supports by providing cover for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Akali is played with Lucian on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Lucian.

Moreover, when Akali plays with Lucian on the same side, she typically receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Lucian does a decent job of covering Akali in teamfights.

Is Akali better when played alongside Lucian?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Akali that will 100% of the time be her #1 ally. However, overall, Lucian is a very typical ally for Akali. By being on the same team as Akali, he lowers their win rate by -0.4% to 48.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Akali and Lucian that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Lucian has a lower difficulty than Akali. That means Akali players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Lucian teammates to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by pairing Akali and Lucian together, you probably will not be giving your team very much crowd control. Make sure to have other champions on your team that offsets this hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Lucian teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
