How to play it
DO
Bait his E
He's rather squishy, but his E (Heroic Swing) is his one true escape — try to lure him into swinging onto your boxes before you all-in.
Poke him down
Poke as much as possible — he's squishy, so chip him down before you look for the kill.
He roams a lot
Akshan tends to roam often — remember to call it (SS) so your team can capitalize on the empty lane.
DON'T
Never forget to call SS when he's roaming a lot — your team needs the warning.
