Which boots are you guys building on Akshan right now, and why?

I currently have around 800k mastery points on Akshan, and I pretty much only play him mid.

Whenever I get my secondary role, I usually get top, and Honestly, it almost always goes wrong. A while ago I had the idea of ​​setting ADC as my secondary role instead, and so far it seems to be working much better than top.

The main problem I have with Akshan top is that I feel like I can't really impact the map with roams. Eventually, I usually make some mistake in lane and end up dying. My games tend to get better after the laning phase, but I still feel much less influential when it comes to carrying compared to playing mid.

There's also the fact that when I play Akshan top, my team often ends up lacking a proper tank/bruiser for the frontline.

With ADC as my secondary role, at least I'm not taking a lane that is usually occupied by tanks or bruisers. I'm also finding it easier to help my jungler because I'm closer to Dragon, somewhat similar to how I can impact the map from mid.

On top, I feel like my ability to help with objectives is much more limited. Either my jungler gives up the objective, or the fight simply isn't favorable for me to participate in.

So I'm wondering: for an Akshan mid main, does ADC make more sense as a secondary role than top?
