Master Tier Analysis

Your Win Condition

Survive until level eleven.

General Strategy

3Q>E max Give Akshan an extreme amount of respect pre six. Do not ever step up to the wave. Akshan has the damage to 100-0 you very easily especially with ignite. Farm with q and maybe e if you can. Stay away from walls. Respect his invisibility and ping missing. If he randomly leaves lane or goes into a bush, he might be invisible waiting for you.

Trading Patterns

Do not ever trade with Akshan pre six. Make sure when you are using your e to farm you do not get in range of his e. Post six looking for q auto e is not recommended since if he gets his shield off its a losing trade.

Wave Management

You want the wave near your turret until you have eleven and first item. Akshan can dive you and run you down very easily if the wave isn’t in a good position. Try not to push the wave when you are farming with q.

Their Win Condition

Akshan will want to hard trade with you always pre six. He should look to 3 wave crash and dive you with his jungler, or by himself if you traded with him.
