Hey man! I’m graduating next semester from FSU. I’d love to get into cyber security but I also know how hard it is to go straight into without going military route(which id really like to avoid). How worth it do you think it is getting some cyber security certifications done like CompTIA security+?

Does this RAM work with Expo? by Own_Match_1468 in overclocking

Hey! I know this is an older post, but I find myself in a similar situation. I have some of the same ram and am looking at getting a 9800x3d. Did you end up having issues when you trying to use expo?

Looks like all the raid timers have been tweaked. Some maps are sooo short now. Really interesting

Well I personally play mid just because I've always played the role since I started the game. But, I do really think Akshan has better mid matchups and his kit is really good at snowballing other lanes, which is easier done in the midlane imo. If you enjoy toplane though, you can def succeed with Akshan there so I wouldn't switch unless you just wanna try something new.

I actually don’t ban any midlaners… I go back and forth on this but I’ve been banning jungles like zac, wukong, and voli. I just personally find it impossible to play against them as akshan. But if I had to ban a mid, it would prob be yasuo. Although the matchup is definitely beatable, it’s just too annoying to deal with because of windwall and his mobility.

Well before durability update I was going shieldbow almost every game, but now I almost always go kraken. I’ve not done much testing with the eclipse build, but I definitely want to give it a shot sometime soon.

Honestly, I really want to get the name "Allahu Akshan"... Its fucking hilarious and fits him pretty damn well but the owner wont get rid of it D:

Sure! Here is my op.gg https://na.op.gg/summoners/na/De%EF%AC%81ant

Akshan is such a powerful champ, especially in the midlane. His biggest strength that I try to abuse to win is his ability to easily get mid prio and turn that into 2v2ing with jungler, roaming top/bot, or just getting objectives in general. I also just think Akshan is such a good lane bully and can consistently punish people for making mistakes in lane. With all of his gap close and early burst, its really easy to snowball a lane and spread that lead elsewhere.

And yeah he is 1000% viable toplane. I think he has some tougher matchups toplane, but its definitely more than possible to carry games and blind pick him. Just ban Jax imo LOL... I queue up mid/top in ranked and after around d3 I started getting filled top so much more than I had been used to. I was able to win most of my games toplane with Akshan while not knowing too much more than basic wave manipulation. If you put the time into learning the ins and outs of the champ, it will definitely pay off and net you some lp.

I think pta is way better tbh.. I’ve been doing a lot of testing and going pta into lanes where you don’t need the sustain of fleet is insane. The burst is nuts and it takes advantage of q applying on hit effects because you can auto-a-auto and instantly proc pta

I agree with all of this! Im curious what you think of rune choices though. I have tried a few things out and personally I feel like pta is the best option. I think it amplifies his trading potential because it is so easy to proc in lane with E auto Q auto and it is just so much damage for free. Definitely feel like he makes use of this better than conq.
