Tips Against Akshan in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
PrestigeGalaxy says “Avoid letting him proc his passive and PTA. Dodge his Qs. ”
Xalt says “This matchup is very hard but you can win it, try to kill him early before he backs on a Negatrons. I like to rush Sorc boots because I know he'll have MR as soon as he backs. Poke early and avoid fighting near terrain as his E allows him to space from you and kite you until you die.”
SupaSnor says “If you misposition and he hits his swing he will 100 to 0 you in 3 seconds pre 6, gotta love these kind of champs.. make sure he doesnt get ahead by surviving, he will most likely push in with his q so just try to safely last hit under turret and warn your team if he's out of lane.”
DaffeLaffe says “This matchup is very hard but you can win it, try to kill him early before he backs on a Negatrons. I like to rush Sorc boots because I know he'll have magic resist as soon as he backs. Poke early and avoid fighting near terrain as his E allows him to space from you and kite you until you die. Be aware of the shield he gets, it could catch you of guard and he could turn the fight.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Start: Corrupting Potion] [Spell: Teleport][Stay out of his range and farm as much as possible][Use your E around him so he cannot escape with his E]”
Juon says “He has a lot of burst so be careful, play around him as if he is a twitch.. but with a rope that makes him fly around you and turbo burst you?? Anyways, he is super squishy. If he dodges your combo you're dead, best is to R -> Q, rather than initiating with E. If you can flash onto him he is 100% dead. Max E second.”
Xelikari says “You really have NO hope of killing this guy as it stands in Patch 11.22. He can’t really kill you without jungle pressure but he’s just got a way overloaded kit with shields + movespeed + weird half-of-the-lane dash, a real 200-years champion right here.
I would take Teleport and look to TP when he roams. It should be pretty obvious where he’s roaming to, but you can also take Ignite and try to kill him in River. He’ll probably shove you in so if your Jungler has some sort of CC, you can probably lock him down and burst him. He’s weak-ish without his E so you can sort of fight him then if you land your Electro-Harpoons. I would take Electrocute here and just look for skirmishes and roams since killing him is pretty difficult. ”
TrueGIXERJ says “Akshan is a bit of a mixed bag, he isn't too difficult to kill when youve got a couple levels, maybe an item. but he's worryingly strong beforehand. Be wary of his all ins killing you early on, as well as his insane revive in teamfights, and he's not the worst champ to face.”
Zero macro says “Good Sustained damage because of PTA. Resolve + shield outtrades almost every trade. Later on easy gap closer with permastealth next to structures.”
Fake Supp says “its not too much hard to play vs this guy the only things that matters is to dont int first .. secend is that he double attacks so you have lesser time to close the gap the best way to defeat this guy is to use your W to get close and do Q > HOB Autos then E out do this a couple of times and you good to go
only use E on him when u are sure that he cant dodge cause if he does you are dead ..!”
comfykoala1 says “Akshan is my personal perma ban. He wins lane easily and roams well. my main tip is take corrupting pot and give up the first few waves”
ChrisWasTaken says “2 - 4 depending on elo, you win level 1 trade with bone plating. Lethal tempo or HOB is fine but phase rush is also a good choice against ranged matchups.”
desch3445 says “This champion is pretty garbage as of this guide's publishing. Dodge his Q, use your knockback while he's mid-swing, and he won't stand much of a chance to begin with.
Take the Electrocute page; No worries that he can poke you out of your FS, he's still not a great champ. Electro for the early burst, snowball off of it, EZPZ.”
ThePieBeam says “Fucking avengarang. This champ is broken on so many levels but if you're good with Anivia wall the lane is fairly easy. Not that it matters since he'll just perma invis to bot and top every 4s but oh well. Just make sure to W into Q his hook should he try to go anywhere with it and you should be fine.”
Epic_Semibold says “First few level, he is annoying as hell. One of the few matchup that you want to wait before ingaging early on. Try to dodge his Q or bait his ult with yours. Btw, W can easily hit through his E and can also help vibecheck him through invisiblity. Try pushing alot when he is not around.”
LBDB says “Oh look ranged talon. For real though unless you are a tank he is just gonna spend level one running your ass down with PTA and his e. If you manage to not die in the early game he can still build alot of items to shut down your chances of killing him.”
LunarVortex says “Akshan can be a bit rough, depending on how good he is. You can never really trade with him, and if you miss Q, you will be in trouble. Buy control wards for prepare for his botlane roams.”
Callmebee says “Lights, camera, Akshan! Just like most AD mids, he is not an easy match up. Ideally, you will have a strong CC jungler that will be able to help you pin him down (as his mobility is quite high). Don't forget he also has invisibility on his kit (I know, I know..) when he is near walls, so, keep that in mind when you think he is not in lane. Keep your max range to farm and I would avoid walking forward unless you're getting a gank. Take Barrier.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Start Doran's Shield and take Second Wind.
You cannot fight him early until you get Berserker's Greaves AND Vampiric Scepter.
Play with the goal to scale and hit your item spikes. Do your best to farm without taking too much poke or you will die to ganks.
”
Fuzzmonkey says “You out range him and can push him away with your E if he attempts to get near you. Don't use your burst combo if he decides to go in on you since his passive will deny some of it. Zone him out constantly using your Q.”
lonestar1870 says “I haven't played Matchup much.
He will often stand invisible next to wall and wait for you to E the wave, so never E the wave unless you know where he is.
Most of his damage is in his E and he can probably kill you if your stun is down. Play extremely passive any time your E is down. Be careful positioning near terrain since he will do a lot of damage on you.
You can get prio pretty easily in this lane whenever you need, plan around it
Similar to Lucian, try not to trade auto's early on
Get an early void staff (Second or Third item) since he will likely go Wit's End.
Phase Rush is nice so you can run away from him more easily since his E offers a lot of mobility. Electrocute is fine if you want more kill threat, but just play a bit more cautious since you can't run away from him very easily. I prefer Teleport to match his roams or in case I need to take a bad reset, but Ignite is perfectly fine.”
Coldsong says “Akshan is very annoying to deal with. Make sure to stand away from the minion wave so his Q does not hit you with its extension and ping when he roams. Also save your stun for when he E's since he will be very vulnerable.”
PrimeRex226 says “Insane poke early game, almost impossible to farm against a good Akshan. Ask your junglers for early ganks to get ahead of him and watch out for his roaming. A good Akshan will punish you hard early for any cs you go for. Just try to q farm early but do not worry, you will end up killing him easily in later stages of the game”
Desperate Nasus says “One of the worst matchups. He is usually seen in mid, however it could be picked top aswell. He trades for free because of his swing. Really hard to farm against him because of his passive. It's impossible to all in him - due to his E. Try to survive the laning phase by farming. It will be hard, but try to stall the laning phase as much as possible and teamfight later on.”
itakute says “Dorans shield + second wind. Save windwall to block his PTA proc auto or whenever he decides to use E aggresively. He cannot avoid your EQ knockup without flashing so make sure you stack it up before fighting.”
deavense says “Toxic ranged mid champ. Just start with doran's shield and play safe until level 3. Beg to your jungle and go for some roam if possible.”
BlockPad says “he always can oneshot you, take care. Poke him as you can and if he jump on you just Q + W but dont stay too much because he's passive is strong.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Extremely hard to out-trade because of his passive. I'd highly recommend keeping an eye on his auto attack timing, try and get a quick Q+W on him before he manages to get his passive shield off.
Level 6 is somewhat the same procedure, quick trades but with using your ult as well. Use your chain defensively against Akshan to stop him from all-in'ing you. You can also use your clone to block his ult too.”
CashLOL says “Very difficult to hit. His grapple hook is very hard to predict wait till he lands to boop him away with W. You do more in team fights but lane is difficult. Go for perfect farm.”
iZianni says “Pretty uncommon match up as well, it's just cringe because Akshan has access to items like Wits End in the mid-game that make you unable to one shot him.
You do however win early since your wave clear is superior along with personal space denying the ability to rope swing into you.
For new Vexs, this match up may be difficult for you since it is technically easier for Akshan as the skill expression is less taxing for him.
But once you hit 6 you should just win any 2v2 off ultimate along with W fear activator. ”
livikattt says “As an ADC, Akshan will be able to poke you a lot in lane with his autoattacks. Don't feel bad if you're behind in cs—as long as you're not 0/4 at five minutes, you're doing okay. You'll have to rely on reaction time to hit your charm on him when he comes out of stealth, as well as learning how to aim your charm so that it hits him during his E. Akshan is very good at roaming, so it's important you get some good vision and ping him as missing as soon as possible. ”
Miscake says “Akshan vai pushar e dar roaming. Em nenhum universo ele tem o range ou dano pra te matar na lane, desde que você sobreviva e seu time não tome ganks até seu power spike de Protobelt + Rabaddon ele não será um problema.”
xblademojo says “This is the kind of matchup where without a pressure from your jungler you will need to get more defensive items and sustain early game.
Going full Ap without sustain only with Good Jungler pressure, not a full clear enjoyers.
If His wave management is good and he isn't first timer either you can't really do much.”
Avucado says “I haven't played this matchup enough so I can't say much about it but it seems pretty easy because of his telegraphed abilites. Don't get poked too much and watch out for him after multikills so he doesn't resurrect his team.”
Urpog says “Akshan's auto range is *slightly* outside of Urgot's own auto attack range and if you try and flip him he'll use his grapple avenger boomerang thing to run away from you, his roaming potential is much better than yours but the lane is certainly winnable, I average 4 kills on Akshan in lane but then he doesn't really care about the midlane wave to begin with and he goes and generates gold for his top and botlaner, be proactive about shoving the wave.”
XayLies says “High mobility and such ways to kill you and literely be untouchable. You gotta get a good cc on him because he will use (E) Grappling Hook / Galeforce / Flash everytime you'll be nearby ”
mrmundo says “Ah yes, another 200 years champion. Akshan is one of those "non-traditional roles. He's ranged so you already have a problem. He can use his Q to harass, and his E gets him out of stick situations plus deals tons of damage. I'd say abuse his lane phase but getting up close, but don't take too much poke.”
Kords says “ADC created for mid lane, but works well as his OG position as top lane ADC. He has decent waveclear and great roaming potential. After he buys kraken the damage of his E becomes considerable. His weakness is that most of his dmg and mobiloty locked into his E and you can outrun his AA when it comes to teamfight or doing 1v1. Laning should not be a problem if you manage tol and your CC on him. Be careful in teamfights because he like to join late, killing weakened players to ressurrect his teammates which can turn the tide of the game as they are able to secure objects.”
Amiicia says “The best pick into kassadin,permaban or dodge him,he never ever loses 1v1 against kassadin simply cause his kit and itemization,shieldbow wits end+ad shield on q with very strong lane phase ”
ShokLoL says “Pretty hard matchup early game, he perma pushes you in and it's hard to trade vs him. Definitely have TP in this matchup and hope your jungle ganks.”
ARealFakeIdentity says “Take the Teamfighting build, and place many tunnels throughout your own jungle, your only chance is roaming and counter-roaming as he can completely poke you out of lane. ”
Coldsong says “Akshan has amazing poke and his damage with his passive is very strong. Make sure to stand away from the minion wave so that he cannot extend the range of his Q. Also, play aggressive if his E is on cooldown since the mobility it provides is broken. Also, if Akshan ults, make sure to stand behind either a tower or a minion wave to block it.”
SVS Raka says “Yasuo counters Akshan, as well as other marksmen. The only problem is that currently, Akshan became overbuffed and really strong pick. Just take Fleet Footwork and be aware of his E engages, after level 3 you will be fine.”
Kippari says “Annoying in lane and a threat later on no matter what, he's fairly easy to kill if you can get onto him but it's still safest to just try and poke him down.”
Impossible2Gank says “Although I haven't had the chance to test the matchup yet it should be even and easy to handle if you space your boxes out correctly in areas where he could swing in and out from engages.”
N0EG0 says “his Q keeps going as long as its hitting enemies so don't stand behind ur wave, stand by it. you don't really win this lane so your priority is landing to survive and become useful afterward. don't try to force too hard, preferably wait for your jungle, and remember to block his E with your R when your jungle ganks if possible. keep in mind his R can be blocked not only by other teammates but by minions and objectives as well. ”
King Turtle says “He's pretty powerful right now and he can follow you around walls and other leapable structures. His roam is pretty good and he's a problem with counter roams. Luckily he's still a squishy and can still be deleted. ”
Katasandra says “[1] Don't line up with him and the minions, his Q extends on them (much like trying to dodge your own Q)
[2] His E does a ton of damage, if he tries to use it agressively stop it with W. If you don't have W, don't walk up to him.
[3] His R gets blocked by minions and turrets. You can self R it, but do so after he starts firing the missiles (otherwise he gets a CD refund).
[4] In early levels you can trade with him with the help of your minions. In the levels 7-10 he gets the upperhand since he rushes wits end. ”
Thresh Mid says “Akshan, like many new champions in this game have a brand new mechanic that makes you scratch your head and question Riot Games, "Why?" His E, Heroic Swing, is a menace to you. Fast swing and does quite a bit of damage. His passive gives him a shield that allows him to mitigate your burst combo if he get his 3 hits onto you. As well as his boomerang that can poke you behind minions. Akshan is a new roster to the Thresh Mid's hardest matchups.”
ok0goi says “Not too many lanes played against him, but have played him so here is my breakdown.
You lose trades in the early levels, and he can easily escape using his Grappling hook
Side note: YOu can use your e to avoid some of his E's grappling hook shots
Look to all in when you are lvl 6, After he has used his important cooldown (E)
Recommended build: Immortal shieldbow
Possible build: Kraken slayer (If ahead)”
3Riptide3 says “Dodge his Q and you should be fine. You win this as long as you don't interact with him. Shove and roam. Take safe route back to avoid him ambushing you. ”
InstalockVayne says “Don't trade lvl 1.
Bullshit champ with 2 passives on every skill just stay away and try to condemn him when he tried to use hes Grappling hook.”
Boomblight says “I've played against him on PBE a few times and from what I can tell you hard outscale after 1 item. Play safe and try not to get poked too much until then. if he wastes his e dashing towards you, go for the all in.”

Tips Against Akshan in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
xPetu says “Tips: Use W to deny his passive stacks. Remember that his dash will get cancelled if he collides with a champion. His R gets blocked by minions and towers.”
Phrxshn says “Akshan can generate his shield from his Dirty Fighting(Passive) based on his auto-attack(Cooldown: 16/12/8/4 (Based on his level). Dodge his Avengerang(Q) it is a boomerang projectile that deals damage and allows him to gain movement speed if it hits your champion. Try to catch Akshan first in a team fight so he does not active Going Rogue(W) which let him ressurect up to 4 champions. Try to body block his Heroic Swing(E) to prevent him from escape. Comeuppance(R) can be blocked by minions, structures, champions, and monsters. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Akshan) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
Dekar173 says “Strengths: Range, Mobility, Roaming, Mid-late game teamfights where he gets to proc his passive, ADC so he always scales
Weaknesses: Squishy, can block his vine swing, very gankable, ADC Brain
Q max, since he's not going to build any tank stats
Pay attention to the circle pattern, you can stand in front of it and block it, which reduces his mobility.
He's got the super weird passive AA kit, so you just need to read it and UNDERSTAND otherwise he'll catch you off guard and Mog You.
Eclipse great here, all in level 2 after removing his boneplating, if he goes EXHAUST be careful since he can beat you out.
Level 1-3 is GIGA IMPORTANT, don't lose or the lane becomes like Teemo/Lucian.”
Cryniu says “Juega defensivo, por lo general usa ignición.
EL combo Q+W es muy clave para aguantar su daño.
Trata de no perseguirlo con tu E, solo si estás seguro de acertarla.
Juega al sustento y contraataque.
La tenacidad no ayuda contra Akshan.
Busca rápidamente las botas de armadura y la vesta espinosa.
”

Helzky says “Akshan is quite a hard matchup for Yorick. If he takes ignite it'll be hard for you to succeed. His PTA is going to proc on you often and so you cannot walk up to the wave before you have prowlers. After, however, you can kill him. Take TP and Flash in this matchup, unless you think you can win, take TP and Ghost instead.”
King Turtle says “Akshan is just a really annoying champion to play against and especially with garen. He can essentially keep his distance at all times and use his Q to poke you while still farming. ”
Potent213 says “This is a hard matchup, play similar to most range matchups, you only want to hit on front vitals, but in this particular matchup, his level 1 is very strong.
Don't forget to play for bushes to not get poked down too much while farming.
You want to run Dshield + Second wind, play safe until level 2 and wait for your parry to block his PTA or double auto/Q.
Care for his poke and short trades, he can do a lot of dmg in a short amount of time, and hitting parry is very hard due to his mobility so wait until he is locked in an animation.
Hide between turrets or minions to block his R, or you can parry it as well.
He is very gankable so ask for jungle ganks!
Tabis + Whip are when you usually win this MU.
You hard out scale him, so play for that!”
magician4444 says “AFK till 6. Go corrupting pot or dorans shield and AFK until you get ult, Once you're 6, try your best to poke him down with E's if you can hit them. If you manage to hit him with an E, and hes low enough ult him and you'll be surprised how much damage a WQ combo will do to him.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Akshans passive allows him to fire two shots at once on a cooldown of 14-4 secs. You'll want to trade with him in between this time frame early game while he is CSing. His (Q) is exactly the same as Gnar's Boomerang granting him more movement speed. His (W) passive allows for him to revive ALL dead allies if he kills their killer, it's also like Twitch's (Q) but he can hug a wall / sit in bushes to prolong it indefinitely. His (E) let's him hookshot a wall and swing around dealing damage to anyone he goes near, but will stop if he hits a target/terrain. His (R) is a lock on like Caitlyn, in which he stores bullets to fire in a blast like Lucian, use minions / towers to block it.”
Hecki says “Play very carefully in the early levels. If he has the "Press the Attack" rune and ignite he will definetly try to kill you as soon as he hits level 2. Second Wind and Dorans Shield is highly recommended in this matchup so you can survive the early laning phase. When you hit level 6 you can fight him again like any other ranged match up though.”
SadgeBoyK says “ he can swing through your goo, so just try to flank him in a way that blocks his swing. Also, in lane you will never reach him, and he wont allow you to farm so just roam.”
Your Desired Username says “Easy match-up. Take ignite, rush steelcaps. Every Akshan I have ever faced is very cocky and agressive, so hitting your abilities is often easier and he will somewhat serve himself to you by walking into your range if that makes sense. Pre-6, unless he actively walks into you, just Q him whenever the opportunity presents itself, or short trade him, but don't take free poke from him as he can quickly kill you if you are low enough. If at any point in the game, you manage to catch him, try to walk as close to him as possible, so that his E gets cancelled by you. If you hit E on him post-6, AA-Q-R him and watch him vainly E away, just to hit Brazil wall and still be murdered by you. Lategame he is still a very good ult-target.”
Rayli36 says “WTF?
Take Conq and second wind.Build bramble vest or warden's mail.Dodge his q and you'll be good.
A little bit broken and watch out if he gets picked by Druttut.
Take Armor in defensive runes”
LunaticDancer says “A competent Akshan is hell to lane against, completely unforgiving. D Shield and I am Bullied runes. You want to SURVIVE the lane, which is gonna be tough. If you do have proper set up though and hit E on him, that's huge.”
N0kk__ says “Akshan won't be seen Top , but its not impossible. Akshan can get a free trade with his E and passive. impossible to fight as he is range and can swing out of fights. He will have much CS than you will, but don't panic try and freeze the wave under your tower and just farm. Avoid fighting him. ”
pubg player 1337 says “You can only fight him when he used his E so he cant run from you, he is ranged so he can beat you with no problems from his turret, or he can hit you when you are under your turret”
King Turtle says “He can match your range and his E can make him hard to lock down. He also has a solid R that can make trying to catch him in the open difficult.”
DooDooSlayer says “Mid Lane:
Early laning phase will be hard since he has a lot of pressure with Q and the ability to E off the sides of the lane however if you're able to make it past that you'll be fine or the rest of lane. Just make sure he doesn't get ahead from other lanes and also either hit him with E before or after he uses E since you will not hit him with it (However, you can R and grab him out of it).”
MrZoltannn says “Akhsan is more of a form dependent matchup, his lvl is strong with Passive and Q, so try to poke him early.
pre 6 is okay against him.
At lvl 6 and after or during his swinging with his E jump on him and ult him onto the wall.”
LoLReal says “Highly mobile and does a lot of damage to us early. Dorans shield start into early tabis is a must. Take second wind in the resolve tree too. If he misplays and walks up too far punish with pull. Otherwise needs jungle pressure if he plays well.”
OTP Toxin says “Max Q first and he won't be able to even hit you. Note: The mushrooms in the walls will tilt him hard, since his camouflage has no timer if he is near the wall. :D”
Drake6401 says “His dash is delayed so you have time to stun him before he gets away. His damage isn't too bad but he is getting pretty regular buffs so that might change. He has a bit of poke, but not much more from any other ranged laner. Treat this fight pretty normally as he lacks outplay mechanics vs yours..”
Amvill says “Super weird to fight as Singed since he is an adc that kites you in stranger ways with his hook. Think of him like a Quinn with no CC and more predictable roams.
Wit's end enjoyer”
YasTilt says “You block his entire abilities, he can't execute you if you have W. Try taking Anti Heal or Attack Speed Reduction against him. Be careful against his W's invisibility, he can catch you by surprise. Don't try to get poked to much in lane and try to focus him during teamfights, so he don't ressurect his team mates.”
Avelon6698 says “Ranged and p strong. careful of low hp post-6 since his R executes by technicality. His e is what you have to watch out for, a camille wall "dash" of sorts”
Psychopathic Top says “Really hard to deal with it. It's usually seen in mid, however it could be picked top as well. His swing basically allows him to trade into you for free, and passive works very much like vayne. Impossible to all in due to the gap he can create between him in seconds (swing). Stall lane and try to teamfight later, however most of the time it might be too late since the cs lead that he will create simply puts nasus too behind to come back.”
Gospodin Bure says “You won't win lane against this guy, his autos desintegrate your barrels and his playstyle punishes agressive plays, jsut play back and safe, you beat him late game, hopefully.”
apkibum says “Akshan is squishy and easy to bully early on, but also he is very capable of bullying you back. Use your Q when he engages to stop autos (his mains source of damage). Let him engage first you should win trades. Don't be scared of his ult if turret is nearby or minion wave is pushes. You're fast and able to hide behind those things to block it. He is the most solid even matchup there is. ”
David Perry says “You can block his escapes and engages with your W. Also he must walks near walls while he is invisible.
Safe play if you play vs him on lane.”
Viego99 says “don't fight at early levels(if you stun him and your hp is %75 fight). after 6 and first item you kill him .you hard outscale him and your teamfight is better”

Tips Against Akshan in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Ilias017 says “Akshan has a very high DPS especially with his W and Kraken Slayer.
It is very hard to deal with him alone.”
Sellsword says “Akshan is very rarely played in the bot lane but can be quite difficult. He can engage on you after you use your Q and you won't be able to do much because he's just better in the early game. He is also a bit hard to gank. You could try going Lethality and farming from distance if the odds are in his favor. However post early game you shouldn't be really worried about him, just be careful that you don't farm side lanes alone because he could kill you from invis.”
KanaBootyCamp says “The damage potential is extremely high, watch for his grappling hook move. In a pinch you can use your E to slide out of its reach, but in such a case you lose your engage opportunity.”
Amberdragon says “As long as he is not super fed he's not a huge threat. If he is singled out you can easily burst him, just make sure you use your E to kite away from his Q”
LegendaryOstrich says “Same attack range, only has mobility with his E, so if you want to use your ULT make sure he can't reposition. You win early trades with PTA and Q.”
Coldsong says “Akshan is short ranged just like Samira, but also has a lot of built in sustain with his passive. Make sure to bait out his E before going in, since it is an insane escape tool. I would also recommend saving your W for his ult, since similar to Caitlyn it is very telegraphed and deals a lot of damage. If you are near a tower, do not even worry about Blade Whirling it since your tower will block it for you!”
Amberdragon says “You win longer trades in the early game and can easily burst him if you manage to catch him on your E. If he is fed though you need to watch out for his passive burst.”
Simon Uchinora says “Akshan is Dangerous one, with his ability to become invisible, he can kill you in a blink of eye, but hes attack speed is equal to senna, abuse of this, try to ambush him, because him is vulnerable.”
Urpog says “As an ADC Akshan is pretty weak due to the 2 v 2 scenario, you shouldn't really be losing trades to him considering he's one of the lowest range ADC's, his auto range is slightly outside of yours but it shouldn't matter too significantly if your support is playing the game along side you.”
yers says “if he dares use his grapple hook you can simply just E him and it will push him away and cancel the action. other than that he's pretty ez to kill and just watch out for possible wits end”
VeronyV says “This guy is wayyyyyy to mobile, his damage output is really good and since his R is basically a death sentence if you dont have minions and arent under turret, you need to kill him fast with your support's help”
im_zeno says “Haven't had enough experience with this matchup. All I can say so far is that bait out his E so that you can E Q him, you can windwall everything he throws at you including his ult. Wait lvl 3 and engage with your support.”
Bungo_T_Baggins says “He wins early and has just enough mobility to make some of your gun combos sort of useless. If you're using white green, be sure to set your turrets closer to walls. You giga outscale him.”
