BriarFeetLicker says “The Nasus vs Akshan lane is a very tough matchup for Nasus, primarily because Akshan’s kit directly punishes the slow, scaling champion style that Nasus relies on. Akshan is a ranged, mobile marksman with strong poke and burst potential, which makes stacking your Siphoning Strike safely extremely difficult. From level 1, Akshan can harass Nasus with his Q (Avengerang) and auto attacks, forcing you to either miss minions or take unnecessary damage. Once he hits level 3, the threat of E (Heroic Swing) combined with his passive and W allows him to engage and disengage repeatedly, dodging your Q stacks while poking you down. Nasus’s strengths—high sustain, scaling late-game damage, and tankiness—come too late to reliably handle Akshan in the early and mid-game. Early trades are heavily in Akshan’s favor; even with Wither, which reduces his attack speed and movement speed, Akshan can kite Nasus effectively, avoid your stacks, and still maintain pressure. Additionally, Akshan’s ultimate adds a global threat, meaning you have to play extremely cautiously even if you think you’re safe in lane. In team fights, Nasus eventually becomes a strong frontline and a massive source of single-target damage, but the lane phase is where Akshan shines. He can deny your farm, force recalls, and snowball his lead, making it very hard for Nasus to reach his late-game power spike unpunished. Building early lifesteal or defensive stats can help, but the lane will almost always feel oppressive until Nasus hits his core items.”
L0ganJG says “Akshan is a lane bully that does win the matchup. But you can burst him in all ins if you save your health enough. Try to not take a ton of damage before level 3 and play your trades. He can predict your engage and prep his swing, if this happens try changing your timing/predictability. You can bodyblock his swing by being melee on him. I try to W1 towards him, see if he wants to use E then press Q. This is BIG for the matchup. After level 6, ultimate should be a free kill if you cancel his E ”

EggPlantEgg says “Just play to not die pre 6, after that when possible push wave and roam, use your ult anytime you can. Keep your yellow card for his E. Extremely volatile matchup.”

danimedie says “Extremely oppressive early game. Can kill you level 2. His revive mechanic counters your pick potential. Stay under tower and farm.”

Yoyos says “AD champions have an edge early game as it is with base damage being do high but Akshan with PTA is not a fun experience. This is a clear bone plating game. Ideally, the laning phase will want to be played on your side of the lane. The only way he kills you is if he can run you down the lane with help from jungle. ROA is NOT GRIEFING here if you're worried about survivability. ”

Rainbow hater says “Runes: Electro ( celerity over scorch) Build: Standard Reasoning: 1. E very hard to aim onto akshan when he is grappling onto a wall 2. Can punish zoe heavily if she misses her e, by sticking onto her. 3. Zoe can burst him 100 to 0 easily after 2 items from a long range q. Lane: Do not put a point into q or e until you see what akshan put a point in lvl 1. If he put in q you also put in q. If he put a point in e instead and grapples onto you, bubble him with e lvl 1. Keep akshan pushed in, look for short range q trade when his e is down. always save your bubble for when he gets on you i would not recommend to aim ur e while he is swinging. Keep akshan pushed in so he cant roam, and mid to late game always be careful when side laning when he isnt on the map - only push side waves do not side lane into akshan. ”

kekseres says “A lot of people struggle with this matchup but it's actually not that bad. You have to play Electrocute Bone Plating and Doran's shield. Trade whenever you have Electrocute and Bone Plating up. You can block his E swing with your E. Lich Bane first is go to.”
BCota says “any decent akshan will cook you, if you are good enough to play off his mistakes you can sneak a solo kill and get ahead, but scary with items”
