How to Play with Akali as Orianna in LoL

Overall, Orianna sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Akali. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This change could demonstrate that Akali does not provide cover for her to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Orianna is played together with Akali on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Akali.

Additionally, when Orianna plays with Akali on the same team, she typically receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Akali does a poor job of covering Orianna during teamfights.

Is Orianna better when played alongside Akali?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Orianna that will always be her ideal teammate. However, Akali is a very bad companion for Orianna. By being on the same side as Orianna, she drops their win rate by -4.4% to 43.1%. This proves that there is a very bad bond between Orianna and Akali that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Akali has a lower difficulty than Orianna. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Akali teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Fighting on the same side, Orianna players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by pairing Orianna and Akali together, you will not be granting your side a lot of engage. Make sure to include other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Akali ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
