Akshan, the Rogue Sentinel: A New Champion with Powerful Bugs
Akshan, the Rogue Sentinel, is a marksman in League of Legends who can be played in the top lane or mid lane. One of his unique abilities is the power to revive his allies after hunting down their enemies. Despite being a relatively new champion, Akshan has already undergone 21 bug fixes to address unintended interactions. However, popular streamer and content creator, Maks “Drututt” Przychodzień, recently discovered another powerful bug related to Akshan.
During a recent livestream, Drututt came across a new Akshan bug that not only helped him escape with low health, but also allowed him to kill the enemy top laner, Renekton.
Accidentally confronting Renekton face-to-face, Drututt’s fate as Akshan seemed doomed. Knowing that he had little chance of surviving Renekton’s burst damage, he decided to make a bold move. Taking advantage of Akshan’s lane prowess, he nearly killed Renekton in a daring all-out attack. To finish him off, Drututt used Heroic Swing to dive Renekton. By clicking on a specific spot beside the turret, Akshan started circling around the turret while continuously attacking Renekton. This unexpected bug allowed Drututt to secure the kill and escape with only a sliver of health, leaving him laughing at the incredibly strong bug he had discovered.
This bug caught the attention of Vandril, a popular content creator known for testing and showcasing unusual bugs in League of Legends. He took on the mission to replicate the bug and explore its potential abuse in other areas of the game, such as Baron Nashor’s pit and inhibitors. This discovery poses a significant challenge for opponents facing Akshan and adds to the frustration caused by the champion’s bugs.
The existence of this bug serves as a reminder of the need for continued bug fixing and testing in League of Legends to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players.
