In an hour or so we are going to micropatch a buff to Akshan.

Our data indicates his win rate to be at 34%. We knew he he'd take some time to grow into his mastery curve, but this is still below our projections.

Edit: Here are the changes:

Akshan buffs just hit live:

Base AD: 50 >>> 52

Base HP: 530 >>> 560

Q CD: 8-6 >>> 8-5

We're aiming for a ~2-2.5% buff here. He's currently at 34% and we do expect him to grow a fair amount, but are confident he needed a little help.

Giving some buffs that are low barrier to entry (base stats) so they are easy to evaluate the power of by the end of the patch.
