He is!
Small detail, but he's noted to be inspired by South Asian aesthetics and Bollywood in particular while being originally from Shurima. I always say Shurima as an Egypt or Middle East analogue mostly. Is it just an aesthetic thing for Akshan?
Just because a Champion currently resides in a specific region doesn’t mean their entire family line was native to that region. People travel around Runterra and end up in other regions and also start families outside thier native region
Boss I am not sure if this question is out of place or not but from the outside looking in, it is something that is worth asking.
- When creating a new champion does the gameplay come first or the type of representation it is going to fulfill?
A follow up actually, what is the unique gameplay Akshan introduces to League? He doesn't have anything like Grit which is completely new for example.
His grappling hook provides a very unique input when playing as him and his revive is a very unique output that causes u to play against him differently (like not letting Akshan get vengeance) combined those 2 things create a very unique champion. A champion does not require a unique keyword To be unique
So is he from somewhere not on the map like Viego? Because I don't think we've seen a South Asia inspired place in all of Shurima and Valoran.
He was born and raised in Shurima so he’s Shuriman himself. His ancestors were originally from somewhere else, yes
I do like them balancing his W against his lack of cc. However, it seems that if all his dmg is in the form of quick burst and no much sustained DPS, he's going to end up a feast or famine champ.
He is feast or famine. He has to be.
He snowballs like an assassin but falls off quite significantly if he gets behind the curve.
