Playing against Akshan
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Don't turn your back on him if he's swinging with E — he fires auto-attacks during the movement and deals a lot of damage.
2
Avoid being the last one to kill an enemy when Akshan is on the opposing team — he can resurrect his allies by killing you.
3
His E can be interrupted by any hard CC — a stun or knockup cancels his swing immediately.
