About Akshan

Class: Marksman
Primary lane: Mid

Why this matchup plays out this way

Akshan is a marksman, and marksmans tend to have well-known strengths and blind spots that hold up regardless of the current patch. Picking a champion from a class that naturally answers marksmans gives you a structural edge before either of you has even loaded into the game.
