| Two+ items | Yone | Late, your durability and DPS win any duel he can't kite. |
Akshan gets the better of the very first level — his Q (Avengerang) boomerang out-ranges your Mortal Steel and lets him poke you before you can engage. Play safe at level 1 and don't eat free boomerangs walking to CS. Once you hit level 2 the poke advantage shrinks because you gain the tools to start closing distance.
