LeBlanc is a mobile AP assassin with medium lane pressure who must avoid being pushed under tower due to low waveclear.
Akshan has high early agency and lane pressure; LeBlanc should focus on punishing Akshan's missed engages and controlling the wave to deny his roam potential.
Trading pattern
Use W for burst and repositioning, then threaten E root if Akshan cannot respond.
Punish Akshan immediately after he uses Akshan E to engage and misses or is interrupted.
Respect Akshan's short-range poke with Akshan Q and his mobility on Akshan E to avoid unfavorable trades.
Danger windows
Avoid engaging if W is missed, as Akshan can punish aggressively.
Respect Akshan's Akshan E engage and Akshan R ultimate for potential burst damage windows.
Be cautious when Akshan has Akshan W camouflage active, as he can roam or reposition unseen.
Early game
Use level 2 burst with Q plus W or E to punish Akshan's short-range trades before he can reposition with Akshan E.
Avoid extended trades if W is missed, as Akshan can punish hard after.
Keep wave control to prevent Akshan from safely roaming with Akshan W camouflage.
Power spikes
LeBlanc's major spikes: level 2 burst (Q+W or E), level 6 R, and first completed AP burst item.
Akshan's major spikes: level 2 access to Akshan Q plus Akshan E or Akshan W, level 6 Akshan R, and first completed AD marksman item.
Win conditions
Win by using LeBlanc's mobility and burst to punish Akshan's missed Akshan E engages.
Deny Akshan a calm lane by controlling wave and punishing his roam attempts with Akshan W.
Reach level 6 and first AP item spike to maximize burst and pressure Akshan's lower range and risky positioning.
Tip: For LeBlanc vs Akshan, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
