Akshan ADC: A Guide for Folks Like Me
Well now, let me tell ya ’bout this Akshan fella, plays him down in that bot lane, you know, the ADC they call it. Don’t know what that means, but it sounds fancy. Anyways, I heard some young’uns talkin’ ’bout winnin’ more games with him, so I figured I’d share what I picked up, in my own way of course.
First things first, gotta get them runes right, whatever them things are. I hear tell that this “PTA” thing is the best. Press the Attack, I think they called it. Makes ya hit harder, I guess. Sounds good to me, hittin’ harder is always better, like a good swing with a hoe!
Now, about them items. This here’s where it gets tricky, lots of shiny things to choose from. But from what I gather, you wanna start with somethin’ called “Statikk Shiv.” Sounds like a fancy knife, probably makes you attack faster. Then you get them “Mercury’s Treads,” good for runnin’ away, I reckon. And then, oh this is a mouthful, “The Collector” and “Infinity Edge.” Sounds powerful, must be important for doin’ damage. All this talk of edges and collectors, reminds me of my old butcher knife, sharpest thing in the county!
- Start with: Statikk Shiv
- Boots: Mercury’s Treads
- Then get: The Collector
- And finally: Infinity Edge
So you get them items, right? Makes ya stronger. But when are you strongest? I heard tell that this Akshan fella, he’s real good around 35-40 minutes into the game. Wins more often then, they said. After that, maybe not so good, but hey, 35-40 minutes is a long time, long enough to get the chores done!
Now, this build, like they call it, seems to be good no matter where you play him. Top, jungle, middle, or that bot lane I mentioned earlier. But we’re talkin’ ADC here, so stick to that bot lane, that’s where all the action is, or so I hear. Reminds me of the market on a Saturday, everyone crowded together and fightin’ for the best goods.
What else is there to say? Oh yeah, skill order, they called it. I ain’t too sure about this one, but seems like you want to get that “E” thing goin’ first. Swinging around, I suppose. Then that “Q” for shootin’ and “W” for… well, I don’t rightly know what that does, but it must be important. Like plantin’ seeds, gotta do it in the right order to get a good crop.
And what about when you’re up against other folks? Counters, they called ‘em. Who’s tough for Akshan to fight? I ain’t got no fancy charts or numbers, but I figure anyone who can jump on ya and keep ya from swingin’ around is gonna be trouble. Like tryin’ to catch a greased pig, slippery and hard to hold onto.
This here Akshan guy, he seems to be doin’ alright, winnin’ more than he loses, specially in that Emerald place, wherever that is. Sounds fancy though. And they rate him as “A tier,” which I guess is good. Like a good cut of meat, top-notch stuff. This is all based on lookin’ at a whole bunch of games, thousands and thousands of ‘em they said. More folks than I’ve ever seen in my life, even at the county fair!
So there ya have it, a plain and simple guide to this Akshan ADC, from a plain and simple person. Get them runes right, build them items, fight when you’re strong, and watch out for them counters. And remember, it’s all about hittin’ hard and swingin’ around, like a good day’s work in the fields!
Now, I gotta go get back to my chores. This talk of runes and items, it’s enough to make an old lady’s head spin! But if it helps you young’uns win more games, then I reckon it was worth my time.
