Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.3% popularity, Akshan constantly encounters meta-dominant Orianna (6.3%, 6th place out of 57 Mid champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Akshan performance in the current patch. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching B-tier ratings, Akshan struggles with only 47.0% win rate. Orianna's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Press the Attack + Presence of Mind combination (55.8% win rate) plus optimal itemization Statikk Shiv, The Collector, Lord Dominik's Regards, and Boots of Swiftness boosts your chances from 47.0% to 80.6% - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Akshan faces both matchup (46.96%) and farming disadvantages (6.73 vs 7.30/min). With a 0.57 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Damage doesn't equal wins: Akshan outputs more damage (799 vs 743/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Orianna: leads in both matchup win rate (53.0%) and KDA (2.60 vs 2.30, 12th vs 29th place). Akshan players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Orianna as Akshan (Mid)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Akshan deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Orianna deals primarily magic damage (92.62%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Orianna, ranking 9th (versus 25th for Akshan) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Akshan Mid versus Orianna Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Akshan player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Orianna player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Akshan tips:

  • Raising an eyebrow in the face of danger, Akshan fights evil with dashing charisma, righteous vengeance, and a conspicuous lack of shirts. He is highly skilled in the art of stealth combat, able to evade the eyes of his enemies and reappear when they least expect him. With a keen sense of justice and a legendary death-reversing weapon, he rights the wrongs of Runeterra's many scoundrels while living by his own moral code: “Don't be an ass.”

Playing Against Orianna

  • Orianna can only affect the area the Ball is around. Use this to your advantage.
  • Watch out for Orianna's Ball returning to her due to leashing. This may cause some unexpected situations.
