Playstyle

Aka'rosh is built to withstand long term battles/skirmishes, because of his passive skill he can safely trade. So play him aggressively, show your dominance by spamming "Soul Rend" especially when your fighting against Strength or Intelligence heroes. "Blood Sacrifice" should be used in conjunction to "Soul Rend" as the stolen attribute is converted to strength. When things go awry you can use "Blood Sacrifice" to deny yourself. Lastly your ultimate can be used to during teamfights as the fear doesn't force the afflicted back to base, it forces them to flee from Aka'rosh. As for item optimizations, buy items that provide Strength, health, armor and lifesteal.

Pros and Cons

Pros
High starting Strength and growth
Spells that buffs himself
Strong lane presence
High sustain
Deals mostly pure damage
Can deny himself easily

Cons
Low base Intelligence and growth
Low base magic resist
Low mobility
Farm and level dependent
