Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to Akshan's superior range with Q poke and mobility with E, making trades heavily favor him.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with R execute damage, but Akshan's E mobility and W stealth still make him difficult to catch reliably.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using Q to last hit minions while simultaneously poking Akshan, then immediately backing off to avoid his Q-auto retaliation.
- When he uses E aggressively, you can punish with W-Q combo since he's locked in animation, but never extend trades without your abilities up.
Wave Control
- Focus on shoving waves quickly with Q to minimize Akshan's roaming opportunities, as he excels at impacting other lanes with W passive.
- Maintain minion advantage to make your E cage more threatening, since Akshan needs space to use E mobility effectively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up for CS without Q available, as Akshan will chunk you with Q-auto trades that you cannot effectively respond to.
- Avoid placing E cage predictively when Akshan has E available, as he can easily swing over it and make you waste your primary self-peel tool.
