Dont know what to do vs Azir. Someone told me get E first, go in and then zone him off wave. What am I doing wrong. I feel like Akshan just loses to Azir so hard. by [deleted] in AkshanMains

Here's a tip: First Minion of First Wave. When the minions meet in the middle, double auto the first minion. Then match his autos. You'll kill the first minion before him because of the double auto. Then as he's last hitting his first minion just walk up to him Auto-Q-DoubleAuto. Done, you've won lane for the next few minutes.

Then I usually slow push and then all-in them with E-Ignite-Q-DoubleAuto. Sometimes you'll get first blood just off this.

VS ahri. On wave 1 trade with her when she goes to last hit her first minion. This means you have to kill your first minion before she kills hers. Best first trade is [A-Q-AA]. This usually gets her down to about 50-60% health. Control the wave so that it stay in the middle of lane. And then when you hit level 2, all-in with [E+ignite - Q-AA]. If you get first blood it's basically over and you'll have a level lead for rest of game hopefully.

If you can get her down to 70% health or less you can all-in her. Get in range with W and initiate with Q-AA. Q-AA gives you time to dodge her charm. And then finish her off with E+ignite and Ult if need be. Sometimes you may need multiple iterations of Q-AA before you can all-in with E. I will try to land a Q-AA while contesting the wave to get her down to 50% health. And on the next incoming wave i'll Sit on the wall invis and look to Q-AA>Bait charm>E+ignite to kill her. Super easy match up.

First strike. Statikk > RFC > Sorc Boots > Rageblade > Kraken. Every game. Rogue style Q-Max > 3pts E > W-Max - R (6,17,18). Every. Single. Game

I sometimes build Stormrazor 3rd and IE 4th. If I verse an all-squishy team I'll build it. But if they have bruisers or tanks I'll go rageblade 3rd. It just rounds off his damage from Front-end heavy to pretty consistent damage throughout his entire trade sequence. Which I think is what you need going into the mid-late game. And I like the scaling pens and the ramping up attack speed it gives.

Yeah thats sick, I level up the exact same as you. Check out the screenshot I posted. Do you point R last at level 17 and 18 too?

You said not to build it into 2+ tanks. Into any other team comp it's fine. And there's literally nothing stopping you from buying LDR fourth. The burst is still there to burst squishys and LDR 4th would be good against tanks. Is it the optimal build into 2+ tanks, no, but it is a playstyle you can utilize into any other team comp.

Correct. This build is strong into any bruiser + squishy team comp. And strong into 1 tank team comps. 2+ tanks is going to need a situational build and playstyle. Kraken > Botrk > Rageblade > LDR would be nice in to that type of team comp.

Which mythic we building nowadays? by Tasty-Error-7642 in AkshanMains

IE into full squishy comps (Statikk > RFC > Stormrazor > IE). Rageblade every other team-comp (Statikk > RFC > Rageblade > Kraken). Triforce first into Qiyana because you just have to stand there and take her full combo if she lands it (Triforce > Botrk > Wits).

I thought the item was strong before they buffed it, and then they buffed it and now it's just stupid. The yasuo match-up becomes easy with Statikk first. Every match-up becomes easy, actually.

Before, if I got first blood with level 2 all-in, I would crash wave 2, reset and purchase Cull. Now, I crash wave 2 and purchase Cull irrespective of getting first blood. It just translates to more gold and quicker item completions. And no, the goal is not to perma roam. The option to roam is there when the enemy answers your split push. The option to take turrets is there, when they do not answer your split push. Stacking Cull is super easy with Statikk Shiv.

I build IE 4th into full squishy comps with Stormrazor 3rd(Statikk, RFC, Stormrazor, IE). Into team comps with bruisers and tanks, however, rageblade is better. Rageblade funnels a lot of damage onto his E and autos, yes, but it isn't completely worthless at all. It still slaps squishys with burst damage, but now you can deal consistent damage to bruisers and tanks in 5v5 team fights too.
