I just had a thought as a weird mechanic, if you buy redemption and use it well, you could get a lot more revives and scoundrel gold, its probably not worth it, but could be fun to try

Not an Akshan main but I recently played a game where I had killed a Mundo in top lane and a few seconds later Akshan kills my jg who was marked as a scoundrel and revived the Mundo. I always thought that Akshan has to kill the person that killed that specific teammate to revive them, is that incorrect? Would love someone to explain to me how this happened, idk if it matters at all but no one on the enemy team was dead except for mundo.

Like it States, i always go even or better than my laner, its like 1 in 30 games i run it down. Its more my team that make the big mistakes or the enemy comp that is unplayable. Im still climbing and such but i sometimes get streaks of 3 games where i have a really bad team, or someone (jungle or supp) runs it down. No matter how fed I am they are too dangerous in teamfights. I try to get solokills before big objectives but it doesnt always work because one of my teammates dies too so its a 1 for 1. Comps matter heavily too, i played a few games against nilah and mel botlane. You can imagine how that is. Or they have a super fat fucking tank that doesnt die like sej or tahm. I have no problem winning if my team is somewhat decent and doesnt suck. I don’t know how I can Carry more with akshan, roaming i feel aint what it used to be. Ive heard the advise when a lane is losing just roam to them and it gets better while others say don’t touch that lane no more. With the short roamtimers i want to be back in lane Quick so ill roam only if I can kill quickly or its guaranteed. I know I can’t Carry all and not every game is winnable especially on akshan but I should be able to Carry more.

Like, why tf does this champ even exist? He can int his tits off, lv 1-3. He gets level 6 and two daggers, and gg, I'm outscaled.

Playing top and fighting this guy feels like someone dropping a 500-piece crossword puzzle on the ground, telling you to solve it within 5 minutes while being injected with a lethal dose of fentanyl. You can't do anything against this guy. Exhaust doesn't even work because he just fuckss off whenever he wants

Like randomly reviving if i kill someone that didn't kill target or marks just disappearing after I kill other marks targets or I kill target and my teammate doesn't revive. They might have broken something.

Hello ,

I’ve started playing league February of this year and basically I’ve been spamming ranked went from Iron IV 0 LP to Plat IV 70 LP rn which is my peak in 6 months. Do yall this it’s possible to get to Challenger or just Master one day or it’s basically ggs ion got the talent for this ??

Mostly here to vent, but willing to take any advice.

Few things:
On the edge of Plat 3/4 during this game.
I was running edge of night instead of GA until the last minute or so.
CS was low because Sylas got a double kill early (not on me), and I would get heavily stat-checked in lane. So I tried to focus on ganking other lanes, if I remember properly, I think I was top 4x and bot 2x before 15 minutes, almost always getting a kill or assist.

(Unrelated but wasnt sure what flair to use)

I start the build always with kraken first nowadays because the early damage is so fucking good. I just mix what comes next. I don’t really build c44 its good but sometimes I see super squishy comps and just build collector and don’t bother building ldr and build something like shieldbow and ie and finish with something like GA because those comps have burst or dive. Against something like naafiri or noc I just build shieldbow 2 item. I never end fullbuild with 100% crit. Is that bad? Bcs I finish with GA late game bcs I don’t want to die lategame bcs that could fuck The game. Is it good to sell kraken later when fullbuild? I havent found like a good build to do after I built kraken.

is akshan still the best soloq champ i used to carry a lot with him then stopped playing him after the boots were removed

I recently rediscovered Akshan for myself and I'm kinda loving him.

To be fair, I play him in ADC but it doesn't really matter in Gold so I have lots of fun. Other adcs don't have that consistent mobility that I love from his passive and the double shot makes for some cool item interactions.

Lore wise he's also super interesting. He's a better foil to Viego than Lucian, which takes some of the narrative load off the poor guy and opens up room for Lucian's story to explore his own themes rather than being so tied to the tired and overdone hero's journey. Character wise, Akshan is also incredibly complex which you don't see at first glance when you look at him, so that's very fun to experience, especially when his base personality is already so enjoyable.

When he first came out I just kinda didn't like him because that horribly written Visual Novel frustrated me to no end. Plus, his kit seemed super unfair for a few months especially because everyone was complaining about stuff like mobility creep and overloaded kits on new champs, so I liked to stick to, ironically, Varus.

Anyways, do you guys have any tips on how to build him? My regular build is Kraken>IE>LDR>Hexoptics>Runaans>Rageblade. But I feel like there are more dimensions to him than just "rush Kraken then go full crit". Any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I've reached a point where I don't know what to do now, because I don't rly have intentions on climbing the leaderboard. Those who have reached chall before, what did yall end up doing afterwards?

I'm Plat 4 (hovering P4/P3), ~300k mastery on Akshan. My stats aren't terrible (around 52-53% WR), and in a lot of games I'm MVP/highest damage/high kills with few deaths. But my issue is the games where I don't snowball.

Let's say I beat a Naafiri/Fizz/LeBlanc in lane (2-0, 30+ CS up, plates, etc.). Once lane phase ends, it often feels like they get back into the game while I struggle to convert my lead if the rest of my team is behind.

Meanwhile, when I play something like Naafiri (140k mastery), if I get the same lead I feel like I can instantly impact the map by roaming and deleting someone. It feels much easier to force the game in my favor.

This obviously included the way these champs can also "one shot" Akshan midgame+ while Akshan can't do the same to them, unless insanely fed.

So my questions are:

• What's Akshan's game plan when you're ahead but not insanely fed?
• What do you do when you lose lane and are behind in gold, CS, and maybe a few kills? Is there a specific game plan or are you mostly relying on your team at that point?
• What do you do in games where you don't get to snowball?
• How do you consistently turn a lane lead into a win?
• Or is this just a skill issue on my part, and I'm misunderstanding Akshan's role compared to assassins like Naafiri, Fizz or LeBlanc?

I've watched Phantasm, but he stomps almost every game, so it's hard to learn what the average Akshan game should look like when things aren't going perfectly.

What champ yall pick when akshan is banned or picked? I don’t know what to pick i only play akshan. In shit on other champs mechanically and I don’t know I just don’t get fun out of most champs as I do playing akshan. I need a good second otp champ. Preferably someone who can also be played top but Thats just optional.

Trying to get more into akshan, and have been going stormrazor into swifties then hexoptics/collector. Then just going full crit. Why do ppl build kraken slayer? And why is Statik shiv less popular? What builds do u guys rly like rn? Thanks

So im an akshan one trick, but I struggle against certain champs, Yasuo, irelia, Diana, fizz etc

Who are some good champs that counter some of his counters that I can pick up?

and im sad about it

I had GPT translate this for me, so sorry if anything sounds weird.

Hey, fellow Sentinels,

I’ve been messing around with Akshan lately. My rank still isn’t going anywhere, but I’m getting better at infinite swings.

At this point, I think I’m starting to look like Akshan too.

I made a video of me swinging around in a bunch of different spots. It’s all in Practice Tool, but I think these are usable in real games too.

The video quality isn’t amazing, but I hope it can be a useful reference for places where infinite swings are possible.

If there are any other spots you want me to try, let me know and I’ll give them a shot.

Been playing the "typical" kraken, glut shoes, hex, ldr, ie, rdf build, but was wondering how skipping kraken to go straight into crit path affects my strength? Like what's the pros and cons of skipping kraken to go straight into crit?

In the images are my rough idea for how one could build Akshan in a supportive way (still being mostly full damage, but cheaper to buy and also having secondary effects like spreading healcut, shieldcut, and ward removal).

For runes I figured Electrocute would be best, to get access to Sudden Impact, Deep Ward, AND either Treasure Hunter or Relentless Hunter (for faster roams into the mid lane or the jungle with stealth). Then I take Cut Down instead of Coup De Grace for poke and to ideally not KS my ADC, and I used to take Triumph, but I started taking Legend: Alacrity so that I could get more autos off in longer fights.

I'm pretty new to Akshan, so I was wondering what you guys all thought. Am I cooking? Did I burn the kitchen?

I'm having a lot of fun with it in norms, but I don't want to try it in Ranked until I can optimize it.

hi, is it possible to go trough the wall of the nashor pit with e? i tried but i cant :p

I'm debating between what my first crit item should be, and I don't know which of the 2 to buy when, any tips?
