Akshan’s Latest Quality-of-Life Change in Patch 12.20
Patch 12.20 didn’t bring many new changes to League of Legends, but one change stood out amongst the rest. Akshan, the champion, received a quality-of-life update that has a significant impact on his gameplay.
Akshan can now use his Heroic Swing infinitely after Patch 12.20. Previously, he could only spin around wall structures for three seconds. With this update, Akshan gains the ability to effortlessly kite juggernauts, bruisers, and assassins in both the mid and top lanes.
Akshan’s Spin-to-Win Mechanic and Its Impact
While Riot addressed a bug that allowed Akshan to rapidly fire shots at nearby enemies, this new spin-to-win mechanic will undoubtedly increase Akshan’s win rate in Solo queue.
If you watch the video from popular League content creator Ryscu (https://www.youtube.com/c/Ryscu/videos), you can see Akshan’s improved ability to spin around structures without limitations. This advantage gives Akshan an edge over champions like Ashe and Senna, who lack mobility in their kits except for Summoner spells.
Akshan’s Impact on Solo Queue
Thanks to this incredible quality-of-life change, we can expect to see a surge of Akshans dominating the solo queue. This update may initially seem insignificant, but it will undoubtedly increase Akshan’s win rate. This change addresses his main weakness in matchups against mobile champions like Jax, Irelia, and Zed, by giving him more room to kite and outplay his opponents.
