Well, let me tell you about this Akshan bot, y’all. You might’ve heard of him if you play this League of Legends game, but if not, I’ll do my best to explain it. Akshan, he’s one of them champions you can play down in the bot lane, usually with a support champion helpin’ you out. Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s easy as pie. There’s a lot to this here Akshan bot setup.
First thing you oughta know is Akshan ain’t your usual bot lane champion, like them ADCs people are used to, like Jhin or Kai’Sa. Nope, Akshan is a bit different. Some folks reckon he ain’t all that great, but there’s others who swear by him, especially when you get the right build goin’. Now, according to some fancy statistics, Akshan has a win rate of ’round 51% with a 0.1% pick rate in them higher tiers like Emerald and above. So, what that means is, he’s not the most picked champion, but when people do pick him, he ain’t half bad!
Let’s talk about his build first, ’cause that’s important.
If you’re hopin’ to make the most outta Akshan, you best go for that Statikk Shiv, they say. Some folks swear that’s the best item to start with, especially in them patches where the game’s been updated. Now, there’s other stuff too, like Infinity Edge and Rapid Firecannon, but that Statikk Shiv seems to be the best when it comes to makin’ them quick attacks hit harder. I reckon that’s the secret to playin’ Akshan right. Y’know, just like that saying, “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,” well, your build’s only as strong as them first few items you grab.
Now, when you go into them higher ranks like Platinum or Emerald, Akshan does a bit better. His win rate can go up to 53% in them ranks, but it’s all about the right runes and build. You can’t just go out there and expect to do good without knowin’ what you’re doin’. It’s all about takin’ them smart steps in your build. But you need to know, some players just can’t get the hang of him, and in lower tiers, like D or C ranks, he don’t do too hot. It’s like tryin’ to grow corn on land that ain’t got no good soil, just don’t work too well.
One of the things people like about Akshan bot is his ability to engage quick.
You know how some champions have a hard time gettin’ to the action, well Akshan, he don’t have that problem. His abilities let him get in close fast, and he can make a big ol’ mess outta his enemies before they even know what’s happenin’. Some might call him a bit of a surprise attack kind of champion, like sneakin’ up on someone who ain’t lookin’. But you gotta time it right. If you don’t, you’ll be caught out, and that’s the end of that.
Now, I know a lot of folks who like to play Akshan bot will tell you that his duos can make a big difference. Playin’ with the right champion at your side is key. You’ll need someone who can protect you while you do all that damage, like a Thresh or a Lulu, maybe. ‘Cause Akshan can dish out the damage, but he don’t take it too well. His survivability ain’t the greatest, and you can end up in a heap of trouble if you ain’t got the right support helpin’ you out.
And another thing, if you ain’t used to playin’ Akshan, or if the folks on the other team ain’t used to seein’ him down in the bot lane, you might surprise ‘em. Some players ain’t ready for him, and that’s where you get them Twitch-like plays in at level 3, when they ain’t ready to face a bot lane like yours. But don’t get too cocky. You gotta know when to go in and when to back off. It’s a tricky balance.
If you’re wantin’ to try him out, make sure you know his abilities inside and out. He’s got some nifty tricks, like his ability to swing around on a rope (they call it the “Going Rogue” ability, but I just call it swingin’ from tree to tree). You use it to move fast and get in on them enemies quick, so you can land your shots while they’re confused. It’s real handy when you’re playin’ Akshan bot, and folks don’t know what hit ‘em!
In the end, Akshan bot’s a bit of a wild card. He ain’t the easiest to play, but if you get the hang of him, he can really surprise people. Ain’t no one expectin’ an Akshan down in the bot lane, and that’s where the fun begins!
