HOW TO PLAY AKSHAN - THE ULTIMATE AKSHAN GUIDE

[@ChenChenLeague]

There are sections where the game audio is too loud, I’d recommend turning overall volume down for a better viewing experience. (Abilities/Combos/Early and Mid Game)

[@AzuriumOfficial]

So, my take away from this video, is that W has 2s cd and zero cost late game. This never really clicked before. Although, utilizing it to the max requires RFC range.

[@innominedeinostri8651]

I've never touched Akshan in my life. I watched the whole video and I really cant express to you how thankfull I am for all this info you provided us not only about Akshan but general info about the game. You'd make a great coach. Cheers from a Katarina main

[@ChenChenLeague]

Ty glad you enjoyed 😊

[@manoelvittor6599]

thank you for this video, Chen! I've been waiting for a very long time lol

[@ChenChenLeague]

[@johannusb4615]

I know on the E swing, you can extend the chase on someone with it by flashing backwards right before the grapple connects to extend the rope and the long angle on the swing when you his E the second time for the swing. This flies you much farther if you get the angle correct. It is useful hear their inner turret and the jg lanes .

[@ChenChenLeague]

Interesting

A few das ago before you made this video I was looking for akshan otps to learn from and found you lol. Nice video you made me glide even before this banger video

Is he a viable toplaner?

OMG i needed that!!! thank

[@ChenChenLeague]

Ofc

[@gattofatto_2766]

So is statik shiv build no more viable? i climber a whole rank with that

[@ChenChenLeague]

Sadly no, 200 extra gold on it completely kills the build

[@denka223]

thanks for the vid. what to do during laning phase when let's say u made a mistake to walk up to cs and u get hit by a full combo from a bursty champ and now ur at a big hp disadvantage?

[@ChenChenLeague]

You try to find a recall timer

How would you play early to mid game as toplane akshan in comparison to midlane?

[@ChenChenLeague]

I don’t play akshan top but in general terms just play aggro and for turret plates and solo kills

[@HeiKshan]

Nice guide. Correct! 👍

[@ChenChenLeague]

Ty

[@MaharajaLeagueOfLegends]

Any advice for Akshan as an adc bot? Also great general advice in the video for new people to main and even just the game, great content!

[@ChenChenLeague]

Akshan bot is pretty bad, my best advice is to play him mid

[@MaharajaLeagueOfLegends]

@@ChenChenLeague nooo : ( I was hoping theres a way to play him in bot. Curious to know why some champions like akshan cant play bot but others like yasuo can. Thanks for the reply. Would still love to see you try a bot video with aksan even if you just talked about why hes sucks there.

[@ChenChenLeague]

@@MaharajaLeagueOfLegends akshan currently does not do well in lane, so u have to play him to roam. He also needs a lot of resources and xp to be functional and bot lane is a 2v2. He strives in 1v1s.

[@MaharajaLeagueOfLegends]

@@ChenChenLeague Thanks for the advice, I'll still try him in bot since its super fun. I guess Ill stick to quick play or try and add some roaming.

[@juhomontonen]

Good video! I wonder how to play against Vladimir?

[@ChenChenLeague]

You have to play aggressive early it’s your only real time to kill, otherwise just roam

[@woodsy.2977]

Any tips on maintaining 8+ csm? I know the champ is roam based but I can never really keep my farm up the whole game

[@ChenChenLeague]

Watch ur first 10 minutes see if you miss any cs. If no then it’ll be mid to late game where you aren’t catching enough waves.

[@woodsy.2977]

@@ChenChenLeague yeah that must be it, I can farm perfectly at the start of the game and then il forget to catch waves late game most of the time

[@MyHonestReakshan]

Hi chen chen. Why do you think Fleet on Akshan is average? For example, when I play at the top, I am strong in some more difficult matchups. And for something as simple as mundo or kayle, I take PTA

[@ChenChenLeague]

Taking Fleet is strictly for lane, and does not offer any extensive value OUTSIDE of lane. So for mid lane for example, I play mainly for roams and solo kills, PTA does that job better. Fleet is better top because you are playing sustain war and can look for small advantages there.

[@MyHonestReakshan]

@@ChenChenLeague thank you so much for answer. I think i kinda understand what to in late game

[@xidor9204]

nice guide brother, does the stridebraker build still works after the items reworks ?

[@ChenChenLeague]

It still works but is less optimal based on meta, check out my recent videos for better builds

Played my first game of Akshan today. We won, by making the enemy surrender. ...yes my Warwick was 7/1... BUT I WAS 2/1. I WAS GOING POSITIVE!

[@gdevanand8998]

Do u think akshan is good to play if u are trying to learn fundementals. I have been playing for like 1 year. Other youtubera said like he isn't best tol learn fundementals. I am iron so having doubts. Culd u say if he is okay . And also can u give an order in which I shuld learn the fundementals

[@gdevanand8998]

??

[@ChenChenLeague]

Yes you can learn fundamentals from playing Akshan. Learn Roam Timers, Wave Management, JG tracking, Lane Harass

[@Deddyn666]

Thanks for this guide, really appreciate it and watched it all, what do you think about Toplane Akshan? And also (just out of curiosity) do you think Drututt is the best Akshan toplaner?

[@ChenChenLeague]

Top lane akshan is at a pretty bad spot due to items. Still playable if you like him but I don’t really recommend it. And yes drut is prolly best akshan top Laner

[@bablobablobabl]

beautiful chenchen, can you please explain, (even if its only a few words, because I know your divine majesty allows no time for mortals like me), how cass is a skill matchup for akshan. I have never won that matchup even with the cass being ddos'd and their limbs all tied up. Thank you so much your highness. May the force be with you.

[@ChenChenLeague]

It’s quite literally a skill matchup because it’s all about dodging her Qs. If you can dodge her Qs, you always outdamage her. The only time it gets a little rough is when she’s too tanky to kill, but then you can roam freely

[@bablobablobabl]

@@ChenChenLeague Thank you glorious chenchen, with this new information I shall shine brighter than Rihanna 🔷

[@Boalqz]

thank you president dr chen chen for this guide but lowkey ONLY matchup Im losing in low elo is YONE idk he outrades outsustaines literally gap closes me every game its so annoying

[@ChenChenLeague]

Best advice is to watch an akshan vs Yone guide to see how it’s played

[@DownForceSimRacing]

​​@@ChenChenLeague or just play akali. Ive never lost lane to a yone with akali u just counter his whole kit with basically the same roaming playstyle

[@Fortress500]

This video is great. The build really works against any team comp, the runes help you through early, mid, and late game. Do you feel as though there are other builds that could be viable when the recommended build isn’t optimal?

[@ChenChenLeague]

Not really. This is the most consistent build that you can go every game.

Akshan vs Tristana matchup is playable

[@ChenChenLeague]

If even skill level she just out trades you. You’ve probably been vsing against bad Tristana mid players since most suck

[@user-ub4tw]

how is the akali matchup hard?? against a good akshan, playing akali becomes almost impossible

[@ChenChenLeague]

Most challengers will actually pick akali into akshan. Akali has guaranteed kill pressure past 6 and only loses through early, but even then can contest damage and sustain Akshan thru Doran shield second wind. If you are against a bad akali, then the matchups fine. Any good akali will not die early and just assassinate you in repeat past 6.

[@user-ub4tw]

@@ChenChenLeague oh i always thought akshan counters akali. thx

[@ChenChenLeague]

@@user-ub4tw akshan is a weird champ in where he can beat any matchup if you know how to play the matchup AND they don’t.
