Tips Against Akshan in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Atemporal says “Este é um confronto que parece que deve ser fácil, mas com este truque simples, Akshan se torna quase impossível de matar! (se ele comprar Wits End). O Q de Akshan vai mais longe toda vez que atinge um lacaio, então sempre se posicione na pista de uma maneira que torne difícil para ele acertar você com Q de graça. A maioria dos jogadores de Akshan max E (hookshot) primeiro. Esta habilidade só terá como alvo
você se você for o alvo mais próximo de Akshan OU se Akshan marcou você com um auto ou uma habilidade antes de usar o E. Sempre tenha isso em mente. Se ele te acertar com um Q que aplica uma pilha de sua passiva, fique para trás e esteja pronto para correr se ele tenta se envolver com você. Você pode pular em Akshan sempre que tiver W disponível, e essa é basicamente a única vez que você pode ir até ele antes do nível 6. Coloque W, então E Q auto-ele e corra. O E dele é cancelado se o seu W acertar, e até se não acertar, o escudo + zoneamento ainda o fará para que ele não possa retornar dano em você. Após o nível 6, você tem muito potencial de jogo, especialmente se você souber como não subir de nível R instantaneamente. Você pode negociar com ele, e se ele tentar E para perseguir, tente atraí-lo para o caminho de seu ult e ele pode acabar se matando por estar em cima de sua trilha do R. Você supera esse cara de forma muito difícil no começo do jogo. Ele acabará sendo uma morte muito gratuita para você (2-3 itens) ou 4 itens se ele for Wits End.”

Wizahd says “You don't win until 6. You might be able to finesse a kill with poke, but unlikely. He has incredible engage range so watch it. Take ignite or you won't have enough damage most of the time.”

Ceru says “Lots of early burst with this one, can all in you at level 2-3”

pamiclo says “hard laning phase. mostly they die when your jungler ganked. when you are ahead he is free kill.”

Simelodeon says “I: Ludens/Crown
R: Standard/Defensiv/Phaserush
S: Barrier
Solange seine E nicht auf CD ist musst du sie dauerhaft respecten. Farme also immer aus sicherer Entfernung und spar deine W auf um sie zu platzieren wenn er landet. Mehr als etwas poken und scalen geht nicht. Kauf Control Wards und warn dein Team da er viel roamen wird. Pass auf da er vielleicht roams nur antäuscht um unsichtbar zu engagen wenn du vorläufst”

RuchaczSzmat69 says “He has perfect kit against gp, his double autos disable your barrels and his E allows him to all in you smoothly without coming to melee range. Let him push and avoid letting him stack press the attack, you can time your Q/aa to go between his double auto and lasthit the barrel but it requires some practice and is pretty hard to do during intense fights. Somehow i dont think i ever lost against that guy but i dont think its the champion, just the players who braindead pick him against gp beacuse of double auto.”

Veng Shotz says “Unlike most AD ranged toplaners, purely rushing tabis will not insta-win you lane.
Dont even bother leashing your jungler, walk up to the first/second bush in lane to make sure he wont cheese you to 1/4 hp, once minions crash dont bother walking up to secure cs as he will insta aggro and try to wittle you down with PTA+passive. At level 2 they will take their e and try to all in, if you retialiate in any shape or form they will e into you and ignite you. The best way to play this lane is to not play aggro at all till you have health+armor.
Tabis into phage seems to be best for me into this lane, give up cs if you have to, so long as you dont die to him early game and grab exp you can try to do 2-3 rotations of q1+w q2 into him and force him to burn e to disengage, and farm safely by going in and out of bush, if youre under turret just last hit. Once you have 6 you can pretty much run him down after landing 1-2 short trades into him, try to make sure you try to time your all in when his e is down, because if its not then you just burned ult for nothing.
TLDR, dont int early, out sustain him till levels 5-9, and kill him on repeat if possible. (take ign+bone plate) ”

sapphire__lol says “Can take prio, but easily killable since his e is useless if you reach him once.
Try to let him push and jump on him out of fog. Can also try to talk up and bait him into traiding which you can use for an all in. ”

J.A.K.I.E. says “Hardest lane bully in the game. Go the Vs All ins route as he'll constantly be harassing you with autos and all ins. Start Q and try to react accordingly to his hookswing all ins and follow up with your fear + drain. He'll be keeping you under tower for a while so be careful.”

xerexuwu says “Start DSHIELD, take 2 armor flex runes and rush WARDENS MAIL after your TEAR. Take second wind/bone plating and overgrowth or unflinching depending on the enemy team comp. Try to get as much cs as possible. You can look for FROZEN HEART 3rd/4th item.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Try and keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map early. Doing so will make his all-in less effective. Post 6, try to interrupt or somehow force Akshan to top his Ultimate Comeuppance. This will increase your survivability and it will be put on a short cooldown. Keep in mind that early armor will be very beneficial in this matchup. Akshan is an AD champion, so picking up early armor will protect you from some of his damage. ”

SkyBanana says “He is mostly annoying to deal with in lane and in game. His roams are very good since he can be camouflaged and have a reset on his E with one takedown. In lane, he is a lane bully so you have to learn how to trade against him when his abilities are down. Remember: He is a marksman so he will wither you with auto attacks as well. Not just spells. Always ping when he is off the map and type it out as well. It could help you in the long run. ”

AkiraHopeXDDDD says “hard match up. Just wait till he E's in and if he does you can W Q auto and trade (al though he might be able to out trade you a little bit with the shield)
Buying Control wards or sweepers will help prevent random roams and Serpents will help with his passive shield ”

Lightning_Ranger221100 says “Don't get into a real 1v1 with this guy. His shred and 7508345635465 passives let him win better than steroids in the Olympics.

Edex_StarsUpYourASol says “Early Game:
Playing against Akshan is difficult as he can easily trade, roam, escape, and harrass you. You only win lane against him if you skill gap him heavily. Eventually you will be able to 1v1 him, but not if he ruins your laning phase.
When roaming, he will try to follow you so always gtfo after 10 seconds into the gank
Mid/Late: Akshan becomes a priority target along with adc as with his passive he can revive his teammates, making whatever objective you fight for all the more difficult. However, Akshan at even gold is a small threat to your team and can pop extremely easy compared to other adcs like Lucian and Varus. You only need to worry about the early game and you'll be fine.”
0
Zarasaras says “He can poke you e outpush you
He can roam a ton or just stay putting pression on you
Short trades he can AA you once and get shield to autowin they
Just farm for 30 minutes and wait teamfights, you can play they better than him”
0
Body Those Fools says “Never trade AAs with Akshan in his range. His double AA will out-damage your trades early game. Make sure to dodge his Q so he can't proc his Passive shield. In this matchup, just farm until Lost Chapter. With the extra mana pool and damage, I poke him down with Hail of Blades or Comet and stay out of his range. Spam ping MIA if you don't know where he is; his W stealths him and he can roam or try to cheese you if your minion wave is pushed near his tower. When he Ults, stand behind your minions or active turrets since those can block his Ult's bullets. If your tier 1 tower is alive, the tier 2 won't be considered active and cannot block Akshan's Ult.”

Amarusis says “He can poke you and run away easly, personaly I hate this champ whatever I play in game.

DabiDabi says “Very hard matchup. Most Akshan players will bring Bone Platting, so it's unlikely that you'll kill him so Just look for quick trades when you are able to. Get ganks, land your chain and follow up so he cannot swing away.”
0
DabiDabi says “If you have the misfortune of going against ranged AD, I wish you good luck. Though it may seem like it's a troll pick, these matchups feel like hell. My best tip is to rush Steelcaps, get ganks, or hit two Ws and all in at level 6. Most ADC solo laners will bring Barrier or Exhaust so it'll be difficult to kill them early. ”
0
OSG Rewynd says “Akshan is going to bully you. Your only goal in lane is to farm safely, ping his roams, and try to shove waves fast enough to keep him in lane at level 7/9. He has to mess up really bad for you to kill him, and he will not die to a gank unless you block his E.”

Errevandare says “Не убивается 1 на 1 до 11 уровня. Но он не сильно может поукать и мы свободно фармим. Если он пошел роумить, то запушивайте линию и берите пластины, фоловить опасно, может развернуться и убить. Но аккуратно с пушем, он может зафризить. Роумами может выиграть. Кандидат в бан.”

Super08131208 says “If you are unlucky enough to have ever had to face against AD Ranged champs mid, you know exactly how this feels. Literally cannot do anything pre-6. Biggest tip is to buy an early Cloth Armor into Steelcaps. Akshan with PTA and Bone Plating is unkillable pre-6. His swing counters you pretty hard as he can get away from you and attack you at the same time. Ask for ganks early and at level 6, try to get his Bone Plating off and then all in him if possible.

Zoose says “Stay back while your E is on cooldown as its your only peel tool against him. Don't trade at close range as he can absorb most damage with his shield and will chunk you with true damage. He will look to roam with his camouflage. You can only match his roams when you have ultimate. You can cancel his E ropeswing and ult with your E stun and W.”

basrty1p says “Depending on how much on your skill level.
If he tries to hook to get on you, Cast E to stop his hook instantly.
Since you can't deal him in early game because of low damage Q, you should focus on farming CS and after Level 6, tries opportunity to gank the other lane.
Stay behind your tower or minions to deny his damage from his R.”

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.”

Esrucnl says “Akshan is very annoying, because of his passive (he gets a shield, movement speed and can attack you twice in 1 click)
You will get poked out of lane if you go for CS so just try to take it easy the moment you are level 6 and have ult you can win against him if you hit your ult. If you don't its very hard to kill him after. He will literally click you to death even when you dodge his Q+E.
Tip: You can cancel his ultimate when you press E.”

0
King Turtle says “I just really dislike playing against akshan with low mobility champions. He's ranged but he's built like an assassin and his mobility allows him to zone you from a whole wave away. The biggest issue is that it's nearly impossible to follow him on roams because he can just as easily turn around and all in you with his perma stealth. He's my perma ban for mid lane.”

He'll look to land his passive once or twice then invis surprise attack and close ANY distance with his swing. There's no getting away if you're out of position. If he doesn't snowball by mid-game we can 1v1 him. Read the room, if he's around half HP we might be able to land an easy combo when he tries to swing in (as long as no minions block Q). INSANE and unstoppable 1v9 hard-carry potential.”

Dont use E early on him because you dont want to gap close an akshan.
Perma poke with Bush Q, River Q only if his E is on CD.
You almost always win after 6 if you hit R. never let him trade with shield up, wait in Q bush before it goes.
If he rushes shieldbow its not a problem, he wont be able to out damage you, if he goes kraken he can but he's squishier.
If he goes galeforce and knows how to use it, you HAVE to take prowler.”
0
kindo says “TAKE BONE PLATING VERSUS AKSHAN ALWAYS, 100% OF THE TIME. The reason being - his trade pattern can be severely negated more than any other champ with bone plating. Without it, it's near impossible to take advantageous trades in lane.
Akshan matchup is difficult mostly because of his trading patterns compared to other adcs. Every time you attempt to trade (even to poke off his bone plating), you'll likely be taking a double auto and a Q to dodge. The hardest part of the lane is poking off his bone plating so that you can take an advantageous trade. His swing can be a problem and difficult to solo kill, but it's possible to out damage him in early levels given you can dodge his Q and engage when he doesn't have bone plating up. Sticking on him is hard, so try to force yourself into him melee range if you're going for an all-in.
The matchup snowballs extremely hard, so while easier said than done, be smart about trades and avoid taking a trade that can cost you the lane.”

Magmora says “Whenever a marksman is viable mid they will always be a problem for Aurelion Sol. They can poke you with just autos really easily, and often have a powerful mobility ability that, if they are good they can evade your Q with. Second wind is a good rune into akshan, and if you are not confident you can also try doran's shield. Just make sure you have something to cater for early mana issues.”

0
Bertsicle says “Hard to lane vs, don't stand in wave.
He can just revive his team after you kill them so try to kill him first if possible. Landing R on him is a nightmare unless he isn't ready. Try to R him after he's already used his wall grapple thingy or he's stunned in a teamfight. Q auto W and E out BEFORE he gets 3 hits off for shield. Short trades are good vs him but longer trades will fail because his shield just negates a lot of the damage.”

ARealFakeIdentity says “As he can easily bully you in early laning, you need to play incredibly safe, and you need to focus him out of late-game teamfights to prevent him reviving teammates. His E provides him a lot of safety, and if timed wrong, his R can still hit you after you use your own R. If you have the choice, never pick Evelynn mid into an Akshan.”

donidaking says “AKSHEN
OK he s similar to Lucian but i think he s more disgusting.
His range is higher than yours and he gets a shield when he trades but his dmg is still realy high.
Dodge his Q don t let him get his passive or PTA on you.
His E can be stopped if he interacts with a champ so just bodyblock him to stop his E.
His R doesn t go through minions or structures so just hide behind them if he R's you and watch out for his W as he might be near some wall waiting for you to walk up.
Same as lucian FARM UP using your range and ping any of his roams at level 6 there is a gap where you can kill him if he uses cd's randomly.”

Aut0Lycus says “Akshan is a major threat to almost everybody, boomerang, invisibility, revive, grapple. His E is particularly problem as you are weak to early dives. YOU NEED TO SAVE YOUR Q to stun him after he tries to dive, you can pull him to tower or throw him away. Only use your Q to counter dives or to secure kills with jg.”

TheKingUltra says “Dodge. Busted Champion, one shots wave with 1 q. His base damage in early is very high and the shield makes it hard to punish. He is also hard to gank for the jungler even though you hit him with your e, but he just has his grapple to get out.”

lilmeatgirl666 says “Your W does not work against Akshan, so he is quite mobile against you. Bringing exhaust into this matchup helps a lot. You can even bring ignite, and try to outdamage him, which is a lot riskier, but possible as long as you land your Q's and Auto in between E's.”

Ahri Simplord says “A good Akshan can be obnoxious to play against, he can perma shove the wave better than you can. You must never find yourself caught of guard rotating around the map because of his invisibility, catching him mid e with your charm is possible and quite easily but needs practise to learn the angle that he's moving on.”

WayOfTheTempesst says “Akshan is very oppressive early. You can't fight him until you have zerks and vamp 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 be susceptible to ganks/dives. Don't stay in the wave because he will Q the wave, damaging you and pushing the wave at the same time. The more targets his Q hits, the further it will go. This matchup is a lot easier for Yasuo than Yone because you can Windwall his entire kit. If you don't fall too far behind, you can just jump on him over and over and kill.”

Malzahar MID says “Malzahar does a decent job of beating Akshan. On average, he wins a acceptable 51.1% of matches the champions fight each other in. In Malzahar vs Akshan matches, Malzahar’s side is 0.2% less expected to gain first blood. This indicates that he probably won't get first blood against Akshan.”

Dustyacer says “One of his worst mus is pantheon (according to stat websites). Our e blocks everything (q1,q2,e,r). He hard wins lvl 1/2, dont even try. You can start doing things lvl 3+. You want the wave on your side as he can run u down a long lane. Try to block his passive/PTA proc. Really gankable despite his rope, we can stun him during the time it takes for his hook to reach the wall. Can also stun him before that (even using flash if need be), and then walking in front of him to block his escape.
Follow his roams post 6, although it might be too late when u come.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

It will be hard, but try to stall the laning phase as much as possible and teamfight later on.”

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.”

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. However, it's Akshan, so he's pretty bad and you can generally survive lane.”

Avucado says “He can roam well and deals a lot of damage. I wouldn't try fighting him just roam. His revive counters you if you get multikills so stay safe after using R.

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.”

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.”

[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).

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.”

Tips Against Akshan in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

RandumPersin says “This lane is hard, but taking PTA makes it a bit better. Akshan gets TWO shields from trading with us so empowered W isn't nearly as impactful as you would want it to be. Forcing an all in against this guy is also a pain since he just wall rides away, but his attack range is pretty low and that lets us E AA Q AA E trade with him freely throughout lane. Its important to make sure fury ONLY goes on Q if you aren't ulting, he will run you down the lane with ignite if you use fury on second dash accidentally. If you are forcing an all-in hold empowered W until his second shield comes up - if you can survive long enough to do that you will usually be able to kill him. Early steelcaps help a lot with this matchup so you should build them when you can, even if you are ahead ”

Let him push and avoid letting him stack press the attack, you can time your Q/aa to go between his double auto and lasthit the barrel but it requires some practice and is pretty hard to do during intense fights. Somehow i dont think i ever lost against that guy but i dont think its the champion, just the players who braindead pick him against gp beacuse of double auto.”

hamgi says “(d shield, flash/teleport, second wind/overgrowth)
another champ u thought u escaped. another good part of akshan being in the top lane means he cant roam and revive his teammates left and right and get a bunch of extra gold on u. the bad part is it's still akshan. going against him in top lane is a little better for u as u have bushes to hide from his constant aa or q poke. this is less of a skill match up as akali, but it's the same thing. respect his aa damage and go for short but meaningful trades. he has mana and u don't, so use that to ur advantage. buy a refillable as soon as u can and sell when u have items good enough to lane against him fairly”

JustCallMeVox says “Anshan completely loses to Azir's range (shocker). As long as you sidestep Akshan's Q, and ult him under tower/into minions, he won't stand a chance against the Shuriman Emperor.
However, his mid to late game potential is to be taken seriously, as he can gank other lanes and gain the gold advantage on you rather quickly due to his invisibility. ”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Try and keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map early. Doing so will make his all-in less effective. Post 6, try to interrupt or somehow force Akshan to top his Ultimate Comeuppance. This will increase your survivability and it will be put on a short cooldown. Keep in mind that early armor will be very beneficial in this matchup. Akshan is an AD champion, so picking up early armor will protect you from some of his damage.”

kajinator says “Extremely overloaded champion. Use the Q max ability order. Phase Rush and Flash + TP are mandatory. You will have 0 kill pressure on this guy so do not try to fight him in lane, staying even in XP in this lane matters more than gold but never try to fall behind 20+ CS.”

Evandabank says “Akshan similarly to most ranged champions for Kled, is not a massive problem.
Kled has his E-Q combo to get on top of Akshan super easily. Every Akshan top will take boneplating which is really annoying because it severely cripples your damage in the all-in. Be mindful of when boneplating is coming off cooldown and poke it off of him with a Q whenever you can.
Akshan will lose the All-in every single time. Try to get behing Akshan (Standing between him in the tower) so that you can block his E when he tries to escape. The easiest way to do this is by simply using your E to get behind him OR by saving your E-2 so that you can follow and interrupt his hookshot.
A good akshan will always attempt to use his W to leave lane and find a good roam attempt. This is totally fine. You can just take demolish into this lane in case he attempts to roam and get free plates off of this poor decision. You don't have to follow his roams but remember to ping them so that your team doesn't die. In the case that he fakes a roam to midlane and attempts to open on you out of stealth while you are taking plates... just kill him. He is super squishy.
Super free lane you never get outscaled and you can always 1V1 him if you are both even.

He'll die if you ever get on top of him and you can eat him out of his E cast too if he tries to escape. Warden's Mail is super good vs his doubled autos. ”

Inoks says “Dshield/Secondwind , you should be careful where you position in this matchup since he can punish you pretty hard in early levels.

You may choose to go tabis depending on the enemy comp.
If you manage to get on top of him he is very squishy and you can 1 shot him. Make sure he can't E if you engage on him, he gets a lot of damage from it.
Remember that you can block his E by standing in its way.

Zorroh says “Akshan matchup can be really tough because he is able to out trade you easily and close the gap a lot faster then other ranged top laners are able to. The biggest threat of this matchup is him E-ing in to burst you for a ton of damage. Try to not hover the two curved walls on the right and left side of where top river ends as these are his most common spot to E when trading in lane. Try to focus on good wave management, it is impossible for him to ult you under your turret since it absorbs his ult's damage. Take fleet footwork and rush armor boots in this matchup, try to last hit as much farm as possible with Q and play patiently. ”

If he Es in, either body block it or W if he won't be in your W range. If you body block him he has to either flash, run or fight. Obviously W his ult if you don't have minions or tower for cover and be cautious of his Q poke as it extends the more minions he hits.”

Aberrant Demon says “He has really high mana costs so if he burns too much or he wastes he E, you can look for an all-in. Otherwise, farm up until Stridebreaker and tier 2 boots. W any poke you have to take, especially his passive. Dodge his Qs but bait him into pushing the wave with it. Once you have Stridebreaker and Ghost ready, you can maybe stick to him (I really hate his E). Don't forget that his ult can be blocked by minions and turrets. ”

TrinityForceYasuo says “Respect early on -> Stay healthy -> Level 3+ you can go for E+Q3+AA+W and go back to E for a quick trade -> Level 6 to secure your R, knock him up with Q3. To block his R go behind your minions/tower -> Be careful when you are behind your minions because his boomerang extends the more targets it hits -> When he walks up to poke you with AA you can use your W while walking back to tank some damage”

Another ego matchup, I have won a lot of Akshan matchups when I have been feeling good just by running them down, but also you can risk getting completely zoned, try to absorb XP, get plated caps and run him down.”

Put 3 points into Q and skill q at lvl 1 and just poke him every time he steps up. Important to note: only time he has solokill pressure is lvl 1 and 2 so don't go for all ins and just try to poke. Always prioritize dodging his q over doing your own damage, if he doesn't land his q his dmg is halved and he has a rough time proccing his passive.”

King Turtle says “In this matchup you do not exist. You are not a champion. You are a punching bag that's forced to sit under tower for 20 minutes because your jungler won't punish Akshan for being shoved up 24/7.

Until then you can constantly dive him when your ultimate is up. Going full tank into ranged opponents is usually the ideal situation.”

Dshield + Second Wind, respect his lvl 1 since thanks to his passive he is very strong. Play for bushes to not get poked hard. Get Steelcaps + Whip so you can start winning fights.

You outscale him very hard.

Veng Shotz says “Unlike most AD ranged toplaners, purely rushing tabis will not insta-win you lane.
Dont even bother leashing your jungler, walk up to the first/second bush in lane to make sure he wont cheese you to 1/4 hp, once minions crash dont bother walking up to secure cs as he will insta aggro and try to wittle you down with PTA+passive. At level 2 they will take their e and try to all in, if you retialiate in any shape or form they will e into you and ignite you. The best way to play this lane is to not play aggro at all till you have health+armor.
Tabis into phage seems to be best for me into this lane, give up cs if you have to, so long as you dont die to him early game and grab exp you can try to do 2-3 rotations of q1+w q2 into him and force him to burn e to disengage, and farm safely by going in and out of bush, if youre under turret just last hit. Once you have 6 you can pretty much run him down after landing 1-2 short trades into him, try to make sure you try to time your all in when his e is down, because if its not then you just burned ult for nothing.
TLDR, dont int early, out sustain him till levels 5-9, and kill him on repeat if possible. (take ign+bone plate) ”

gazibulle says “Skill matchup, a bit Camille favoured. I would say you both scale quite equally, but Camille is far more stronger in the side lane. Early levels you just don't trade if he has his passive up, as it is fairly easy for him to proc it. Akshan is a strong early game bully so consider letting some minions in order not to take a huge trade in his favour. Akshans often take Ignite and Bone Plating, so be careful when you all-in him. You can trade when he has no passive up and if he is close enough to a wall (or you are) so he can't react to it with his E. If you miss it, you are likely dead. If you hit it, stick unto him very closely so if he ever tries to E out instantly he will get bodyblocked and die. NEVER go for W-Q-Q trades if you don't have Approach Velocity, Akshan will outtrade you every single time as he will have time to damage you earlier than you to him. Lvl 6 is a huge powerspike for you as Akshan's R is not really a combat ultimate (in close fights), so you can just R him after Eing him and he has no escape. Keep in mind that Akshan is really tanky as for an ADC for some reasons, so you just can't go onto him when he is full HP (in early / mid game, you demolish him with 3 items on side).”

Anothaoneforym6 says “This matchup is playable if not in your favor if you go E rush. The issue is in late game he will deal massive damage and has the ability to revive. avoid letting him proc passive and PTA. If he goes first strike you can easily make him lose it with E everytime and he is basically runeless for the entire lane phase.”

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 “P: 16 > 4
Q: 8 > 5
W: 18 > 2
E: 18 > 12
R: 100 > 70
Runes vs Akshan: Fleet, Tempo
HIGH Econ: Eclipse/Kraken, Executioner's prio (KILL HIM!)
MID Econ: Eclipse, Executioner's (POKE then kill)
LOW Econ: Stasis/Everfrost (Focus splitting and proxy)
IF FLEET, start Doran's Shield, otherwise pick what you prefer level 1.
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!”

TheSixtyFreezer says “Too strong, really mobile, try not to fight him if you dont have your E and Q up.”

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.”
0
Sovereign Kitten says “Akshan can be an absolute pain in the ass due to his ability to swing forward and do a tremendous amount of damage while also having tons of sustain and a shield if he does his combo correctly while playing with Shieldbow as his Mythic. Note: You can flash or step between him as the swing to cancel his rotation really easily if you find the opportunity to do so, especially while in stealth. Speaking of stealth, you're going to need Control wards to track him late on in the game, do not let him get kills or he will revive his entire team one by one. He is the biggest threat to your late game.”
0
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. You can rush Plated Steelcaps when you have problems laning against him.”
0
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.”
0
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.”

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. ”

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).”

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.”

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.

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.”

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. ”
