What makes Akshan dangerous
Akshan double-taps with his passive (plus a shield at three hits), swings around terrain firing on the move, goes camouflaged with move speed (R... W), and killing a marked "Scoundrel" RESURRECTS every ally that player killed. His ultimate locks on and unloads a dodgeable barrage.
How to play against Akshan
- 1When marked as Scoundrel, play safe — your death revives their team.
- 2Body-block his ult with any unit — each bullet stops on the first thing hit.
- 3His swing (E) needs terrain — fight him in open spaces.
- 4Control wards and sweepers break the camouflage roams.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Squishy with a telegraphed, terrain-dependent escape.
- ✓The ult channel is interruptible and body-blockable.
- ✓Weak when camouflage is scouted.
- ✓Revive pressure disappears if Scoundrels play safe.
