League-of-legends – the best option for an AD only champion against a heavy armor champion with thornmail+frozen heart

Akali has huge advantages in her skill set that allow her to excel in Dominion.

1. Dominion involves a lot of 1v1 fights

   Akali is one of the best 1v1 champions in the game. Her mark of the assassin just gives her enormous burst, even at early levels.

2. She has an amazing escape mechanism using Twilight shroud

   This is perfect for juking in the middle of the map, and perfect for protecting her when she is defending a turret.

3. Her mobility using via Shadow Dance

   You are never going to escape from her, especially if she has a slow. She can also use it to bink to escape by targeting minions. This, along with her Twilight shroud make her a very tricky champion to kill and a champion almost impossible to escape from.

4. Her damage is hybrid

   Is is pretty hard to counter Akali because of her different damage types. Getting the balance of defense, mobility and offensive items is hard enough.

5. She has innate spell vamp through her passive Twin Disciplines

   Her spell vamp combined with the high burst makes her very hard to kill quickly. This also gives her a lot of sustainability through leeching health from minions. Without the ability to nuke her down easily, she can try to escape using her shroud/ult/summoner spells.

6. More champions play 'glass cannon' builds than on Summoners Rift

   Glass cannon champions tend to be easy prey for Akali. A lot of builds are base around kiting and mobility. Kiting just doesn't work on her because of her ultimate and she has HUGE burst which will bring down any squishy champions pretty rapidly.

7. The Dominion is map is designed to be played offensively

   Akali can gank pretty freely as there aren't really any 'safe zones' you can run to, i.e. behind your tower line on normal matches. This leads up to her snowballing pretty quickly as she is just fantastic at picking off roaming enemies.

8. She snowballs rapidly

   Her burst gets insane if she is fed, combine this with the inability to escape from her and your team are in for some big trouble.

9. Akali is based on energy

   She is not the only manaless champ, however manaless champs have always had the advantage of being able to spam skills at no cost. This means Akali can constantly push lanes and leech health through her passive, without having to worry too much about going back to base to heal up.

Tryndamere is one of League of Legend's melee carry-s, which means, indeed, that he becomes nigh-unstoppable lategame as he gets more and more items (though despite what you may think, Tryndamere is not nearly as powerful now as he was back near release)

Tryndamere's counter is hard CC. If you don't have CC (which is quite possible in blind pick), you have no real option other than to prevent him from getting kills in the first place.

This is, in part, why Tryndamere is considered something of a "newbie stomper" - without CC and coordination, both often lacking in newer players, he can be a royal pain to deal with.

The truth of the matter is that Tryndamere, like all carry-s, is fragile. Without his ult, he melts like paper, especially under focus.

What Tryndamere wants you to do, more than anything else, is stand still and let him crit you to death. So don't let him - use your CC to snare him, slow him, keep him at arms length. (I dare say you'd be hard pressed to find a team of 5 without one slow or better betwixt all of them)

The goal when fighting Tryndamere should be to get him to use his ult, then disable him for its duration, then kill him. If he uses his ult to flee, all the better - re-engage on a team fight within 2 minutes, and it'll still be on cooldown, making him prime to focus.

In terms of surviving Tryndamere, you want armor, and lots of it. A Thornmail will cause Tryndamere's massive crits to likewise sliver his own health, while a Frozen Heart will reduce his attack speed while providing you armor (and mana).
