Akshan Mid guide

Akshan mid runs a camouflage-and-poke combo: Avengerang (Q) hits going out and coming back, Heroic Swing (E) grapples into terrain for repeated fire while swinging, and Dirty Fighting (passive) adds bonus damage and a shield every third hit on a champion, with Going Rogue (W) camouflaging him near brush before Comeuppance (R) fires stored bullets for missing-health damage.

The build

Rune page: Press the Attack, Presence of Mind, Legend: Alacrity, and Cut Down (Precision), with Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Avengerang (Q), then Heroic Swing (E), maxing Avengerang (Q) first with Heroic Swing (E) second and Going Rogue (W) last. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Gluttonous Greaves. Core build: The Collector, Infinity Edge, and Lord Dominik's Regards, with Kraken Slayer, Hexoptics C44, and B. F. Sword as later options.

Ability mechanics

Dirty Fighting (passive) triggers every third attack or ability hit on a champion for bonus damage and a shield, and his basic attack fires a weaker automatic follow-up shot that can be canceled for Move Speed instead. Avengerang (Q) damages going out and again coming back, extending its range each hit. Heroic Swing (E) fires a grappling hook into terrain and swings around it firing at the nearest enemy, jumping off early or getting knocked off on collision. Going Rogue (W) marks enemies who kill allies as Scoundrels and camouflages him toward them; killing a Scoundrel resurrects the allies they killed.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Katarina, Yasuo, Syndra, Sylas, Viktor. Best matchups: Ahri, Zed, Locke.
