While statistically Viktor is slightly stronger than Akshan in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Viktor deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Akshan deals mainly physical damage (79.72%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Akshan, ranking 18th (versus 26th for Viktor) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Viktor player to maintain constant pressure on Akshan, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
