LOL: Everyone was afraid of Akshan - but the needs auxiliary patch

Beileague of Legends is the new Champion Akshan with the patch 11.5 live. In the run-up, the players of Lol thought: this becomes a new super hero, but he proves to be too weak and loses too often. His win rate is below 40%. Now he has to be made stronger in a second emergency patch.

Why did the players were so scared of Akshan? When the new Champion Akshan were presented in Lol, the players found him ridiculous. That was about 4 weeks ago, on July 7, 2021.

This was mainly due to a "passive revival" mechanism in his "W - Going Rogue". When Akshan kills an opponent who previously killed a teammate, then he can revive the fallen comrades. This mechanism works even if Akshan is actually dead.

The players painted out that Akshan was single-handedly reviving his own team. It is a joke, how strong the skills of the hero can be, you read then.

The LOL developers took concern at the time: Akshan also has weaknesses. So his wave-clear is not so strong and he is not good to share constant damage.

But the LOL players did not complain about that: you threw Riot Games, which would have probably lost the mind to bring such a strong champion into play.

Champ was totally strong on the paper, but in the game is much too weak

It was now in reality: Since Akshan is on the live servers and he is played by many, Akshan proves to be a lot.

At Riot Games, it is now called (via Twitter):

"We were very careful how his revision mechanics would affect the balance to the release. Now that's what is said: He still has a very low win rate, so we were probably too careful. "

Akshan already gets 2 micro patches to buffer

This does Riot Games now: In a micro-update, the DEVs reinforce it again:

  • So Akshan gets a higher increase in the attack speed at levels - which rises from 2.5% to 4%
  • And his q power to servants instead of 40-70% now 40-90%

Already in a first patch on July 23, a day after Akshans release, his life points were adapted to his basic damage and his Q-Cooldown. But apparently this help was not enough.

How bad is the Champ? According to the numbers of Champion.gg, Akshan is located in the platinum area at 39.2% victory rate.

The win-advice on new heroes is often low, because all want to play the new champ, also people who have zero plan from him. But 39.2% is probably too low.

Maybe Akshan still begins, another new heroine looks exciting:
