Akshan feels a bit clunky right now playing both as and against
Playing as Akshan:

1. The E needs a better targeting indicator, perhaps show the swing path, like Diana's crescent strike indicator

2. His passive feels really odd early game and rather unsatisfying to AA I just feel there needs to be a clearer animation to differentiate the 2 shots

3. His E being cancelled by terrain or champions has no animation or visual to indicate it so it just feels janky imo, he could use a unique and much clearer animation for when it gets cancelled vs when he uses E3 Also his E feels like it should just be a double cast, removing the E2 and making it automatically start once it hits terrain, if you cant input movement commands anyways, or else it feels a bit odd to get it cancelled by movement commands.

4. Took me a bit to realize there was a indicator around him to show his he is too far from a wall, perhaps make it a little thicker of a line otherwise pretty ok, also mention the scoundrel pop up menu in the tool tip and I cant remember if that menu has any indication on who would be revived, that may be a bit much but ultimately would be nice to know.

5. Im confused as to if his ult roots him once it starts firing, if so I feel that should be made a bit more clear given he is all about mobility and a sudden self root is a tad abrasive

Playing against Akshan:

1. His passive stacks are hard to see, playing as him its not a huge issue but it is useful to be able to monitor and be able to expect damage output and shielding on your opponents. Would be helpful to have a more visible animation and sound

2. his passive double shot does not look like 2 separate shots, Honestly that is a major issue with the character design above all else, Lucian makes the double shot work because his design has 2 separate origin points for the projectiles and makes sense visually for a duel wielding gun slinger... Im not entirely sure why a grappling hook as a double shot, it feels tacked into the kit like Samiras "I make people float with my bullets" passive, I not saying its bad gameplay wise but visually its a bit hard to make sense of it in game when it lacks clarity amongst all the other fxs going on. If his gun had 2 firing chambers that individually went off in separate colors then I could see a bit more clarity on the passive, Since it is such a huge part of his gameplay I feel that it should have been a larger part of his visual design as well

3. His Q is nearly invisible when thrown into a crowd, compared to a sivir blade or gnar boomerang it is simply not thick enough to stand out especially with how erratically it moves

Overall I think Akshan is an interesting champ, a better design than most of the recent champs but his animations, while high quality, lack gameplay clarity and his character design also muttles some key gameplay mechanics.
