Magnos says “Rakan can stun you very quickly and his ultimate can be a serious problem if you are switching between champions”

MorBidMike says “break that shield and use your e when he casts W on an ally. you both have the same job so just do it better.”
0
Luknom says “Watch out for his E when you are charging your Q so you don't end up in the middle of the enemy team without hitting anything”
0
Navn says “His engage is really hard to deal with, and with his mobility, he'll be really hard to hit with Q too.”

Touka1 says “Pretty easy match-up you have your mobility to dodge his W and Q/R for outplay potential engage from Rakan”
0
Daromius says “He is a bit hard to hit, but so are you, just dodge his W and you should be fine.”
0
Navn says “This depends on his lane partner. If he's got a lane partner who synergizes well with his E, it'll make dodging his W much harder. And once he has ult, he will be quite hard to deal with in team fights.”
0
FrostedSpark says “As a Rakan main, this matchup is painful. Only putting the dash champs in tiny to show how they've went from counter picks to no threat at all.”
0
Navn says “His W range isn't very far, but still hard to deal with.”
0
AscorbicAcids says “Block his W.
If he uses a charge of E you can tank the knock up and W after to lock him down for a kill.”
0
PR0M3T3O says “The same as Nami
He is not dangerous by himself, its dangerous with a hell of an enemy ADC like Lucian or tristana”
0
GrumpyKyuu says “High mobility and CC, but a little less tanky so it's easier to shut him down than the others.”
1
TurtleEpic says “Only has a lot of engage against you, otherwise you kite and win.”
0
Tqnshi says “Watch out for his W, you can dodge it with your own W but do stay close to your adc just in case. His R is annoying but it doesn't last forever.”
0
spirit legacy says “It's also a tricky matchup. You can counter his W his stunning him as he's jumping to you. Try to buffer your E and as soon as he's jumping Q him. It's harder than Alistar/Leona tho. Be aware of his All in, if he hits his W you're dead in most cases. Always use R when you see him Jumping to an ally. That way you're almost guarenteed to get a double passive proc. ”

Challenger Project says “In lane Rakan can’t do much about our engage. We hook him if he is out of position, but in general try to focus his ADC as he can’t save him from us beside a knock up. After 6 focus with engages onto him, as he can’t run away so easily when we ult him or he will knock up his ADC as well. In later stages of the game you can’t let him (or his team) engage as his AoE charm into knock ups can win teamfights. YOU HAVE TO be to one who starts the fight as this lets you control the flow of the fight. Always ult him.”
0
Maxwell_Shaco says “Box fear will cancel Rakans W which removes any threat except for his ultimate.
He is easy to bait and burst with enough prep or follow up.”
0
Renascor says “Rakan is an example of someone you really can never Ult. He has 4 mobility abilities with 3 days and a MS boost. His charm can catch us out. However his laning can be weak due to low damage, punish his adc.”
0
rocco521 says “This champ can usually do what it wants into you he can just dash in and trade onto you and you cant really do much. You more want to look later on into the game and just try ult his engage.”
0
Borregero says “very slippery and can poke you as well as engage on you with little to no consequences is very playable if you can predict the patterns of the enemy rakan. basically better skill wins. you will usually play this lane reactively going for qs to interupt rakan dash if you are good enough otherwise respect their engage range and try to save your e and q for punishing after engages”
0
LordZaneLP says “rly big counter if he plays correctly, his teamfight is the best in the game with taric, but he outclasses taric a bit in teamfights so its rly hard to win against him. ”
0
Demonsedge90 says “Rakan just makes your engages hard, since he can do it all from range while you have to get real close. To make sure you can safely engage try to bait out his w or r then counter engage with your e, q, or r depending on how close you are to him.”
0
Cordiall says “Rakan isn't a threat to Braum at all. He has no good poke abilities, he can W in and knock you up, but he doesn't have the damage to be able to really affect you in a fight, and then he dashes out to shield his ADC. You probably won't be killing him often unless he's bad, but he won't do much to you in lane.”
0
Bella Starlily says “Rakan's only engage with W is very easy to dodge and easy to interrupt with your Q/R.”
0
hampenguin says “Genuinely too difficult to pin down with his 3 dashes, but he doesn't have enough to setup kills on his own (normally).”

Eu como Miilena says “Rakan sem a xayah é algo bem mais manejável porem com ela a dificuldade sobre relativamente, com ela ele pode agressivar muito mais por conta do range do escudo dele ser muito maior. Sempre que ele for estunar jogue seu R+Q e W nele e proteja seu adc se ele não voltar para o adc dele ele é estunado. voce pode caunterar a ult dele jogando seu Q nele que dará slow e depois R+E em você e em seu adc para fugir dele. de poke nele para ele perder o escudo e não ficar à-vontade para ir em cima quando quiser.”

KeisariKarma says “Keep your distance and respect the engage at all times! Try poke from a safe distance.”

DtNikk says “Just E under his W to silence and root Rakan. if you se him running towards you hit your q to slow him down.
Take E lvl 2 and spellthieves is best choice here. ”
0
TheFoolhardy says “Rakan has lots of mobility, so catching him is hard. Since he is also quite tanky once you do catch him, hes a little difficult to take down.”
0
Nozul says “O maior problema aqui é se você tomar o W+R do Rakan. Se posicione safe que ao final do jogo você ganha dele. Quando ele tentar dar um W errado, use o teu E, assim ele não poderá se reposicionar usando o E no ADC dele.”
0
TheBlueImperial says “If Rakan every engages onto your carry it means his W is down, he cannot stop you from jumping onto his carry. He can never engage without putting his carry at risk of your more potent engagement.”
0
PumpkinMatters says “Rakan consegue atrapalhar seu combo se acertar o W dele, mas há um milésimo de segundo, antes dele saltar e te levar junto, em que seu E pode atordoá-lo e acabar com a vida desse vastaya bonitão. Acertando tudo, é uma rota fácil, mas ele não entra em "baixo" na ameaça porque seus erros podem ser o fim de sua fase de rotas”
0
beefyylol says “Rakan can be quite slippery and it is very rare that you will be able to catch him out. When he is paired with Xayah they have quite a potent 2v2, but with anyone else, you can bully him quite hard in lane. Dodging his W knockup becomes quite easy once you learn how to do it. ”
0
PumpkinMatters says “Rakan can destroy your combo if he manages his W, but there's a split second, before he jumps and throws you, in which you can E him and finish this good-looking vastaya's life. Landing everything, is an easy route, but he doesn't get into "minor threats" because your mistakes can end your laning phase”
0
a8qoyrl says “His engage is strong, しかし , a lot of the time he'll engage and enemy carry will just go in. Thats your time to shine, and proc Glacial on enemy carry. Easy engage, since enemy is running at you and closing the gap. Perfect.”

koggywoggy says “Input buffer your w on him if you think he wants to engage onto you.”
0
Harry132 says “Fairly hard for you to lose this one pre 6 after 6 you just have to be careful of his R but you should be tanky enough to not get popped as long as you are not that far away from your team”
0
The Wands says “it's not difficult to face, but it has healing and protection potential as well as counterattack. Pay attention to W because you can cancel it with your Q Stun.”
0
revu says “[ENGAGE]
Q on his W or Q his adc for a chance to hit them both when Rakan uses E. Go for Shurelya and watch your team run away from his R engage. Make sure to follow him whenever he roams.”
0
Ms_Clair says “Rakan can be pretty difficult for a janna to peel against. Cancelling his W requires extreme talent and timing as well as good game sense to read their engage. Rakan also has an easy escape with his e and his ultimate makes it easy to run you down and cc lock you. Generally play safer and poke when possible so you arent in a poor position.”

beeinthefranxx says “if you can dodge his w's then youre good, stay back in mid-late game to mke sure he doesnt land ult”
0
Luminescape says “You can poke rakan out in levels 1 and 2 but once he hits 3 watch out for a w+e combo and poke him at max range.”
0
Gobomo says “This is a pretty fun lane matchup, all things considered. While he's pretty oppressive if his lover Xayah is there with him, the only real ability you need to worry about pre-6 is his W, which is an AoE knockup. Don't stick too close to your laner and you should be fine. Try to go in whenever he whiffs his W, as when he jumps to his ally with E (which he can recast - he'll pretty much always do it before the recast window ends, so look out for a second if he does it once) he's incredibly vulnerable to getting both him and his lane partner stunned by a well-placed Q. At level 6, his ult can be very annoying and teamfight winning, so make sure you're not playing too close to him. ”
0
LucasSup says “Rakan can caunter you, but if you engage first it's so easy to kill him.”
0
Petra Venj says “Guardian with Bone Plating recommended, be careful at level 3 and 6, though 3 is situational, since it's not him that's dangerous, it's the Bot Laner :p”
0
Mooncurve says “laning phase is not strong (unless their ad is a bad match up to yours), they would die if you land some good hooks, but mid late game teamfights, he could be a pain, save your flay box for him in teamfights.”

yaemitskiuwu says “The easiest engage champion to counter so far. Minor threat only. ”
0
Goldenstinger says “annoying and mobile - skill match up. Better off waiting for 6 and ulting other priority champs. Get early stop watch too”
0
Dotje says “Just like with other engage supports, it's tough to survive his hard engage. However, I find his engage ability is somehow fairly easy to dodge, and if you do, don't waste your bubble on him yet, but just trade. If you engage on their adc use bubble later, there's a chance you'll catch Rakan too, trying to shield his adc.”
0
eiensiei says “Stand behind minions to deny his Q if you can't otherwise dodge it. Poke freely and just walk forward instead of backwards whenever he tries to W. The only time to be scared of a Rakan is if he has a Xayah ADC, in which case playing more defensively is advised. He will try to flank in teamfights, so ward accordingly.”
0
Doglightning says “I would run ele or guardian into Rakan depending on how comfortable you feel into it. Be careful when trading empowered autoing into him as it is the range or his knockup. It similar to most tank supports just poke with Q and keep E up for counter engage if he goes in. He is very squishy and will die in a combo but he is very hard to hit because of all his mobility.”
0
LuxTheGreyWarden says “Read in the Detailed Matchups Section for more information!!”

Twisted Tea Fate says “Rakan isn't really much of an issue because while he does play similarly to an engage support, he isn't tanky. He roams pretty often too so remember to anticipate, and counter-gank.”
0
Doglightning says “Take Barrier. Play safe and stay out of his W range. Look to counter engage and you can win since he is very squishy. Also a nice bubble can lead to kills.”

Mystral says “Try to avoid his knock-up and if your ADC gets caught, W on the enemy ADC and help yours. Poke him whenever he gets close.”

LimTheDestructor says “If you aren't able to kill Rakan in 1 chain CC (which is very hard), don't even try it and rather focus his adc. Respect Rakan's W - remember that this spell can be interrupted by your CC if you cast it fast enough. In later phases of game, stand in front of your team to be able to Q Rakan who is trying to go in. Remember - you have to Q instantly, because if he charms you first, you aren't able to cast it and stop him.”
0
warmfishu says “His passive gives him a shield and he can heal his allies slightly when he hits Gleaming Quill (Q). His primary threats to Yuumi are his Grand Entrance (W), which has a somewhat long-range dash before an AoE knockup, and the Quickness (R) which charms any enemy he touches. Both of these reset W and leave you vulnerable, especially in a teamfight.”
0
Rasta Da Masta says “He has 3 dashes, a free shield, an AoE heal, and one of the best initiation tools that requires inhuman reactions to get out of. Interrupting his dashes is almost impossible since he moves so fast. ”
0
PicklePantsLOL says “He will all in you when you walk up to harass him. Poke from afar to increase your survivability. ”
0
LegendaryOstrich says “Just try to flay his W knockup since it's his main form of engage early game. Stand behind minions in order to dodge his Q which heals the ADC and himself and deals a decent amount of magic damage. BE VERY CAREFUL LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 6+.”
0
lin00 says “You can interrupt all his abilities, flaying his R, W engage or cancel his E. Thresh can punish him heavily if Rakan misses his W engages. ”

TheImmortalEye says “too mobile to hit u will lose eventually especially with xayah”
0
Korippo says “Even though he has knockup CC and a charm on his R, I wouldn't say this is really unfavorable. If he is paired with Xayah, this lane becomes much harder though. He is very slippery and on his own does really 0 damage, so you can abuse him with pokes. Baiting out his knockup is the key here; it has a significant CD early game and is his main engage tool for his ADC, so preventing him from landing it is crucial to winning and snowballing the lane. Teamfights he will be looking to swoop around groups and use his R, so try to spread out more if possible to avoid him from charming everyone, similar to Seraphine (but much more slippery).”

Eforie says “Focus the adc, If he play with a xayah will be a hard machup”

CorgiBorgi says “E his airborne and you can Q/R him when he ults. (build Shurelyas or Night Harvester)”
0
Flackojodye says “Be very careful with rakan, he's one of your hardest matchups. If he's paired with xayah, dodge immediately, zyra can't play against these two creechers.”
0
Distinger says “Now this is where the problems begin. This motherfucker right here can either stomp you in lane and deny you from playing or be completely useless, there's no in-between.
A good Rakan knows you're going to E when he engages with W, so he's gonna R first, be aware of it.
Hooking this guy does absolutely nothing, so just don't.
If he's good he's gonna E to his ADC if you're aiming for him, or W you while you're locked in Q animation, so do it from bushes.”
0
SlippStream says “His ability to jump onto you is scary, and his ultimate can be devastating, but he's weak early, and will let you poke his ADC without doing much to stop you.”
0
bobsalad says “Can easily poke and outrange. His w is very hard to hit at max range. Harder after level 6.”
0
Luiscencias says “He shouldn’t be your focus in lane. Be careful of his knockup when you go in for Q’s (positioning too aggressively without your ADC nearby WILL get you killed). Keep your distance from him AND his allies since he can quickly dash to one and then to you”
0
lenithebot says “Rakan is too safe for you to do anything since if he can react in time he can e to his adc or w away. He also has a pretty good engage.”
0
Fear The Jester says “Just place your boxes on you and your adc, your fear will cancel his knockup. ”
0
Jowoey says “In lane be careful how you move. If you're moving too forward his W his very fast so you might not have enough time to stop his engage. In my experience, the knock up still goes through even if you Q him. Poke safely.”
0
Melyn says “Pre-6, this is fairly easy (although his mobility makes him fairly hard to kill). Poke with Q and make sure not to get caught by his knockup. Once he's level 6, he can almost instantly combo you with little counterplay, so play back and be ready with your disengage, especially if he targets your carry.
One thing you can do (if you have good reactions or predictions) is your E can stop his W, so it's good to throw out defensively when under threat.”
0
TwitchTV Sarodag says “Can easily engage and disengage, which makes Zilean's slows ineffective against him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Puede iniciar y escapar muy fácilmente por lo que hace que el CC de Zilean sea poco efectivo contra él.”
0
Biotic says “I like this matchup a lot i usually put 2 Points in E so my Adc can run out of the W of Rakan. IF you do that consistently he is very lost and can only roam to win the matchup. You can also match the roams and he cant really catch you out. Be carefull of his Level 6 Ult W when you are below 75% HP and dont have exhaust you might get 1 shot and cant R. If his W is out you can ignore the champ and just focus the enemy adc.”

TheBestestBork says “Personal ban here,but if you happen to be leo diana BAN THIS, he screws leos engage either way, but we completely ruins leona diana in botlane, no matter how well you land you abilities.”

KasgoesREEEEE says “easy to poke down in lane due to his shorter range. avoid his w knockup and lane phase is pretty easy. his ultimate can be devastating so be aware of it in team fights.”

Guoblide says “Rakan is a pretty hard matchup for Braum due to him being incredibly slippery and hard to kill in lane as well as outscaling Braum in the mid to late game. Rakan is an Engage/Catch support who can also be played partially as an Enchanter. He excels in creating massive CC and disrupt in mid and late game team fights that can win games for his team. Rakan spikes at Level 2 where Gleaming Quill gives him good poke and sustain, Level 3 where Battle Dance gives him great mobility and shielding, and Level 6 where The Quickness enables him to engage easily and set up CC for his team to follow up on. Rakan has a pretty weak laning phase pre-Level 6 but can still be incredibly annoying. Bully him and his ADC at Level 1 by poking with Winter's Bite and zoning them off of the wave. Rakan is super weak Level 1 and can't do much to counteract this. However, poking him at Level 1 (And throughout the course of the game) can be difficult due to Fey Feathers being able to block all of the damage from Winter's Bite. Once Rakan hits Level 2 he gets a bit scary. If he gets Gleaming Quill at Level 2 then he can poke well and sustain with the AOE healing that he gets from it. Keep in mind that Unbreakable can block Gleaming Quills damage but won't stop Rakan from getting the AOE healing from it. If Rakan unlocks Battle Dance at Level 2 then he can Grand Entrance in, take a short trade, and Battle Dance out before Braum is able to proc his Concussive Blows stun. If Rakan stays for too long though then he can be easily punished and killed. Once Level 3 hit Rakan comes online and can make his trades hit way harder. Braum should try to position a little bit away so he can Stand Behind Me to his ADC and Unbreakable to peel for them if they are engaged on by Rakan. Once Rakan hits Level 6 the game is a bit doomed for Braum. Try to play passive and Glacial Fissure Rakan to knock him up and escape if you see him cast The Quickness. The Quickness makes a sound and has a long cast time animation when used so knocking Rakan up when he activates it can make it hard for him to charm you with it. In mid to late game teamfights Rakan can get massive 3-4 man knock ups with Grand Entrance if comboed with The Quickness so try to stand a bit away from your team and then Stand Behind Me to them after they are engaged on by Rakan and his team.”
0
Spection says “Fairly strong engage with a threat level that is difficult to discern. He can hide in a bush, E to an ally and then W immediately. He is squishy but very mobile and therefore hard to lock down. Do your best to Q his carry instead and watch out for his engage combo. Drop an E to where he is dashing for a guaranteed silence and root. Take it at level 3 for this opportunity.”
0
DanNS12 says “Your passive movement speed helps you sidestep his W and is pretty easy to poke him early just be careful when he hits 6 or when he is paired up with Xayiah because they do a ton of damage lvl 1 if Rakan lands a W.”

LilPaniniUwU says “Take Barrier. Play safe and stay out of his W range. Look to counter engage and you can win since he is very squishy. Also a nice bubble can lead to kills.

Doody_tco says “Rakan can CC your carry, and if he hits his abilities, especially if he is paired with toxic carry as Xayah, it will be challenging for Yuumi to keep her carry alive”

very hot says “You can time your Q against Rakan's W such that both of you are knocked up. Moreover, if he tries to W-ult your team, you can just knock him back and ult his charm such that nothing happens.”
0
Billehz says “I found Rakan pretty easy to deal with as Ahri, I could easy run out of his knockup with my W and get away from his ult with my own. Charming him or the adc after he jumps in also works and gives a good trade if neither of you get knocked up”

SkyCrafter1209 says “If paired with a xayah, he can be annoying with his airborne and go-back but other than that he's alright.”
0
Jaori says “His W cannot be stopped by your E. You will obviously stun him, but his ability will still cast and knock you up.
If he goes in, throw him into your adc so he can't use E to escape with his carry.”

Go Getter says “He really cant stop you, his ult is his best bet to slow you down and if he dives to stun your ADC he's pretty much just begging you to E him.”
0
knif says “While Rakan's engage is a little easier to telegraph and avoid than that of other engage supports, he's still a threat if he can get his combo off and catch you out of position. In fights and longer trades, try to single out Rakan's ADC with your Q, as there's a chance that you'll catch the bird too when he E's in to shield his carry.”

Bardificer says “High mobility and locks down your team hard. Peel who you can and try and distract their backline when they engage.”

vrsds1 says “If Rakan is paired with a Xayah, he can became rally annoying. But with other partners he is not that big of a problem.”
0
SupportTooEz says “Play to scale. A good Rakan will roam which makes the match up free, and a bad Rakan will stay in lane, do make sure not to be hit by his charm from R and knock up. He should not be able to 2v2 you and your adc if he stays in lane, unless you don't know how to heal your adc and let them be poked down.”

Tiilisk1v1 says “Camp bushes and play aggressive. Take spellthiefs and upgrade toxic shot first.”

HerYandere says “He's only good with Tristana against you, at which case he's a 3. Don't let him Q you for poke, and if he ults just reposition yourself away from your ADC and get ready to go onto theirs.”

duusuhh says “Man just moves out of most of your damage. Can jump to ad or just anywhere in lane for free escapes. I hate this man.”
0
Esoterica says “Rakan cannot do much to contest you poking his ADC or locking them down. However, he can easily jump onto your ADC and get out with Battle Dance with minimal fuss. With his low damage, focus the ADC first.
Bait out his Grand Entrance for your ADC or prepare to retaliate when your ADC does get caught. Rakan is fragile and can be punished.
Post-6, do not clump with your ADC and do not over-commit to damage. He can easily chain CC onto either of you and cause a death.”

DamselOfDistress says “Rakan can´t do anything against your fear. Just make sure you don´t waste it.”

Daraysen says “Rakan is a rather big threat, he dashes into you and your adc, charms both of you and by the time you can react, it is already to late, interrupting him with a hook or flay is pretty hard.”

Dotje says “Like many other engage supports, Rakan is tough to survive. I'd try to stay alive untill he blew his abilities, then go for a trade. Be careful of his dash range onto allies because he can easely reach you from the backline.”

Pyroxes says “He can be really annoying if he plays well. Don't get too cocky and poke from a safe place.”
0
KeleiX13 says “Rakan can W you, but that's about it. If he misses W, you can hard punish him if he is not level 6 yet. Stay spread out in both teamfights and in lane so he has a harder time ulting you. If he ults, you should always ult him so he doesn't charm more people.”
0
milast says “He can't do to much to you and your adc cuz he needs to come to you to charm or airborne you which can make him fall into your boxes and get himself killed.”

Levkar says “A lot of utility, very fast. Try your best to get passive procs. This matchup gets easier if you know the range of his skills well.”
0
Adam bot says “His charm and knock-up is your enemy, but you can tornado his dash away and then he needs to run to you. Poke him every time you can.”
0
LilRidge says “Look for opportunities to all-in Rakan when his (W) Grand Entrance or (E) Battle Dance is down. He isn't very slippery when either one of these abilities is down. If Rakan manages to all-in your ADC, immediately counter-engage on the enemy ADC. Rakan doesn't do much damage without his ADC helping him.”
0
GamingFrog says “If you're very good at timing your flay, you can cancel his (E) and (W) dashes.”
0
Tauricus2017 says “Rakan has solid engage and disengage potential, he is hard to poke due to his passive shield. Try to cast Equinox before his Q knocks you up so he won't be able to disengage back, after that try to kill him.”
0
Rainuu says “Rakan is an alright matchup. He doesn't have much poke and his cc can frequently bait the the enemy adc . Just watch out for him when allining someone as he can push you back with ease,”

Kefochka says “Сустейн Рэйкана намного слабее сустейна Тарика, он сложнее и слабее на начальных уровнях в плане вноса урона.”
0
Fear the box says “Rakan is tricky. You rarely see them, but when you see a Rakan chances are he one tricks. Just ignore him. He has so much mobility it's hard to keep up. Focus the ADC and tell your ADC to play safe, attack on level 6 with your clone.”
0
Starchase says “If you're confident with your reflexes, you can try to detach and poke him, but if not, just don't detach, his W has a start up animation before it knocks you up.
However, lvl 6 you don't wanna detach from your ADC, his R W combo will instantly stun you and kill you.
Don't build Mikael's Blessing for him, you will negate the stun from his R but not the knockup from his W.
You outscale him but care about him in teamfights, if he's good he's gonna be a big problem.”
0
Takitsu says “Always look to auto/poke his passive shield down, so he loses that advantage. Play around your minions to avoid his Q damage. Flaying his W+E are difficult but possible. Its usually a better play to dodge Rakan W, and saving your flay for when he tries to jump back with his E, or better yet, flaying the enemy carry. Unless the Rakan is running away, you NEVER flay him with all his abilities up. Hook first and keeping Rakan at a distance is much safer and lets you deal damage without losing health.
Post-6 clumping on top of your carries is usually bad, but will also make rakan engage predictable. Making it much easier to flay his W.”

Jannito02 says “Rakan's knockup will be the only thing that can get you in trouble, but you can just poke with your Q until he wastes his W so you can deal a bit more damage with basic attacks and with your passive. Be careful when he activates his R. If he charms you, he can then knockup you and you'll die. But it's not something really hard to expect or to stop it. If you're on your own, just use your W to be with a teammate and get yourself safe, or use your R and try to stop him.”

Xeptron says “Rakan is very strong if paired with Xayah. Without Xayah, Rakan isn't as strong and isn't as big of a threat to Thresh. His laning phase isn't as strong and his engage isn't as easy to land. He has poke ability but it isn't doing much of a damage anyway. You can cancel his jump with a flay and easily lock him up with your Death Sentence (Q ability). After getting lead against Rakan, there is no coming back.”

Frank6264 says “Rakan puede ser un problema ya que su W le aporta movilidad y CC y tiene potencial para hacer que su adc los mate si se encuentran muy lejos de su torre. Además en línea es complicado de matar ya que posee mucha movilidad con su E. Post nivel 6 tengan cuidado con su definitiva combinada con su W ya que es muy difícil de esquivar y puede llevarlos a morir varias veces en la partida. Fuera de eso, si evitan su Q de manera que no pueda curarse el daño que reciba de parte de ustedes no debería suponer demasiados problemas.”

DracoMeteor_ says “Rakan has a fair amount of CC. Try not to hop off your ADC when Rakan uses his Ult otherwise you will die if the ADC is smart enough to target you. Because Yuumi's W goes on a 5 second cooldown if she is hard CC'ed you will have little availability to get off your ADC and get your Passive off when Rakan Ults.”

CaptianMike says “He is surprisingly squishy, and if you manage to stun him in a teamfight, he goes down fast. In lane, it is imperative that you dodge his knockup. keep your distance. After he uses it though, feel free to punish him. Since his range is very low (yes he is a ranged champion) you can generally auto attack him in early levels, especially level 1.”

jessuva says “I've never thought of Rakan of much of a threat. As with any champion, a really good player can outplay you. But generally, Rakan is fine. If he goes in on you with his dash/knockup, silence him so he can't dash back to his ADC. He is melee, so he can't really poke you. ”

Hceercs says “He's only here because playing against Xayah Rakan with a random adc can be really hard. Rakan by himself really isn't much of a problem, although I would suggest baiting out his E before fighting, and keep in mind you can cc him out of his dash.”
0
CastratedSeal says “Rakan's lane isn't too strong, and I would say he's a skill matchup in lane. However, if Rakan is laning with a Xayah, then you'll typically lose this lane (unless your ADC is something strong early, such as Draven or Lucian). Timing your bubble/ult to cancel his W is one of the key factors to success against Rakan. Consider starting Relic Shield.”
0
Prof Harambe says “Literally his whole point is cancelled by your boxes. Most he can do is poke with Q and hope your adc is terrible, even then you can peel with boxes since its so telegraphed. Eventually he will get bored and just run straight into a bush to try and hit a knockup, then he will be free. You can also stick a box on the enemy ADC to block his retreat by Qing ontop of them.”

YourCut says “Conq+Dom and Electro+Inspiration are both viable. Not that problematic right now as he's pretty bad but generally can screw you up. You can't stop his W because your E is too slow so try to instead E his ADC when you expect him to E back.”

Guoblide says “Rakan can be a slippery matchup in lane but is easily beatable if he gets caught out. He can sustain and poke fairly well with his Gleaming Quill. His main strength lies in in his amazing teamfighting though. During the laning phase try to bully him by controlling the lane bushes with Oracle Lens and Control Wards and threaten to engage onto him with Flash or Hextech Flashtraption. Rakan has really good disengage in Grand Entrance and Battle Dance so only try to engage onto his ADC unless he is low and both of his abilities are on cooldown. If Rakan Battle Dances to his ADC then they will be super close together so Flash + Facebreaker them together for a double stun. Sett can easily shut down Rakan's only form of engage which is his Grand Entrance. If Rakan Grand Entrances onto your ADC then quickly pull him towards you with your Facebreaker or The Show Stopper him before the Grand Entrance animation finishes to stop him from stunning your ADC. Sett can use these same abilities to deny massive Grand Entrance knock-ups in teamfights as well.”

Jovy says “Rakan is super slippery which makes him very hard to lock down. But he's very squishy and his auto-attack range and damage output (except on his W) is quite low. Treat him as a melee support, and be sure to poke him in the early levels so he can't engage safely. When he hits 6 it can be problematic for you because of his hard engage, but you have the disengage to help yourself and your AD survive.”

However, being Thresh you can deny Rakan very hard. You can use your flay to knock him away when he ults in and if he tries to get away you can use your hook to interrupt his Battle Dance.
If he goes in on your AD carry and you aren't close enough to flay him away, throw your lantern to get your AD carry to safety.”

Jointed says “We get a lot of free cash off of rakan. Do not let him out macro you, this is where you can lose the match up. Generally speaking it will be an easy lanning phase.”
0
JLAD2701 says “He is mobile but other than that he isn't to terrible to fight ”
0
Larmack says “You can usually jump out of his w if you react in time. Be careful of his charm at lvl 6 as getting hit by it will almost always result in your death.”
0
Stepoun James says “His dashes are annoying, but when he's alone, he can't go too far with his W alone.”
0
Gravixx says “Not many people play Rakan in my experience, but a good Rakan is very dangerous. You have to get a feel for the range of his abilities so that you can position yourself accordingly and not get caught in his knockup. His sustain is pretty weak, but his engage is good. You should win trades and outsustain. Care for a flash engage with his ult and knockup, especially late game in teamfights.”
0
MrKaPov47 says “you can easly kill him just pull him and stun him and kill him with ult !”
0
LFS_aXent says “Rakan's dive potential is... Well he's Rakan so it's really all he has. If he ults, charm him so he cant run through you, lead him under a tower or away from your team. Don't let Ahri get charmed by this ugly bird.”
0
JSKF says “His airborne and charm are annoying and his mobility is far better than yours, play safe and don't drift too far from your ADC when he has his airborne and charm attacks.”
0
ningen ouroboros says “In lane, he is vulnerable, but if you take it to the teamfighting stage without a significant lead, you may be in trouble.”
0
Beeee says “Rakan has a lot of engage potential with his w and ult, as well as high mobility. Save your q for after he uses w if possible, and try to keep your distance from both him AND the enemy adc so you're able to avoid an e-w combo!”
0
Ghionova says “Hes an annoying rabbit who jumps multiple times. Save your Q for the adc and he will be forced to protect him and it will be a safe hook. When he engages, expect he will use ult and save your own abilities after the charm is over.”
0
Vexno says “Rakan is annoying as he a has a lot of CC in his kit and he has constant shields and heals that he can use.”
0
Puck333 says “Rakan is almost useless against Janna. If you are a good with your tornados, you can stop almost all his attacks. You only have to interrupt him all the time. ”
0
suppdiff says “Very hard lane. He has heals, shields, two different dashes (s9 champs ^_^). Just try to out live this lane, play off his long cool downs, and try to outplay his dashes by stunning. You must wait for him to make a play, do not waste your cool downs other than playing abusive level one.”
0
unhben says “W + R engage is quick and hard to avoid, but your counter engage with pillar helps to make for even trades.”
0
WhiteGoliath says “I don't even know dude, you can cancel his W with luck only, or you predict the spot and throw your Q to stop him, or you predict his W before he casts and you use your E, hard one.”
0
supersuavebro says “He runs fast and keeps his adc safe, but he also likes to overextend a lot. Keep him away from your adc by poking and this lane is won”
0
Silverskatan says “Overreacting like always but it is very anoying when he has 3 abilities to ignore your w or q. Target the adc.”
0
Laverenz says “Not really much of a threat for Thresh. He can't do much except taunting you and knock you up. just focus his ADC and you're good to go.”
0
NirvanaBunny says “Rakan has a decent engage. With his kit it's hard to decide how much of threat he can be! He can E to his teammate, W to you to stun you, then E to his teammate again! That makes it hard to land your E in order to start your combo”
0
aimez says “Rakan is a pain to deal with, due to the sheer amount of cc he has, with a knock up, a charm, and the constant shields and heals he provides for his team.”
0
Dragfla says “He is mobile and can keep up your level of mobility just dont worry or focus him, always go bot.”
0
maxtenj says “Depending on how the Rakan plays, this can be good or bad. If he uses his mobility poorly, you can punish him and hook him to your ADC. ”
0
Ahpulzz says “He can be tricky to lock down given his many dashes and reasonable sustain and shields. For a melee champion he's surprisingly squishy and will die fast if hard CC'd and focused quickly. Be cautious post-6, however, as his R and W combo can catch you out without warning.”
0
Mantra Decorum says “Poke him is a waste of mana cause he has strong sustain (heal and shields) during the laning phase. He'll try to play with you with W and E, just avoid him and poke the adc.”
0
Ahpulzz says “It can be hard to pin him down with pillar as he can avoid it by dashing away to an ally or escaping on his own with his W. It's also very difficult to prevent his ulted engage, so if you're not caught by it throw your pillar in front of his teammates instead and delay their follow-up.”
0
Aethlo says “Hard engage - very annoying. Do your best to full combo trade and keep your distance.”
0
Vbvb124 says “Skill matchup dodge his airborne abuse his early cooldowns and mana loss.”
0
CaptianMike says “He is not as tanky as you are, but he does have better engage. If his ADC gets ahead to be very careful. You win all-ins pre-6! ”
0
samuraiPepsi says “Only ingage if you have item/cooldown/health advantage or if your ally laner or jungler is bot with you and theirs isnt.”
0
Vermeio says “You can stop his engages with your W and his heal is not that reliable. He can be more unexpected than you, since he engage and disengage are too fast sometimes. If your adc is with little health, close to him and get ready to use W. It´s a fun match, usually in your favor.”
0
Inky0800 says “Be sure to watch your ADC around him because he could jump in, knock your ADC out and jump out at any moment.”
0
Axeloy says “Rakan is a puny close-range(and not so tanky) champ in the eyes of Nami, which means, if positioned correctly throughout laning phase, Nami can make Rakan's existence a living hell. It's very difficult for him to land a knock-up on her, and if/when she escapes, she can bubble him before his animation is complete. She also out-heals him by a landslide. ”
0
FromTopToGank says “low level engage is good at him but when you reach level 6 be careful at his ult”
0
Sona Aria says “Rakan has a strong all in with his w, but otherwise is a sitting duck. Beware the Xayah Rakan duo, and be respectful with your flash. Rakan can also engage from behind his ADC with R,E into W. Create health advantages around his w CD”
0
Haezard01 says “Trying to land his Q is dangerous for him because he gets too close to get picked by your E, same with his W. If he uses his E, you might root them both. You outscale him in damage but be careful of his pick potential in teamfights.”
0
ZAZO says “Be very careful if he starts with a spellthief`s edge. Otherways he will be passive and will be no problem”
0
SetsumiV1 says “Can be a kill lane, but his knockup can be his own suicide, after his rotation look for trades on him, not the enemy carry”
0
Saethwyr says “The main trick for dealing with rakan is to let yourself get hit by grand entrance. theres a little bit of arming time at the end that if you time a dazzle beforehand right you'll manage a stun on him before he can actually respond. unlike most matchups, dont counterengage when he engages, rakan has excellent tools to get back to help his adc and leave you stuck in a 2v1. just hard focus the rakan.”
0
hi im glad says “Remain at a safe distance to poke for a health advantage”
0
FRIZFOREVER says “U will destroy rakan 1v2 on lane if ur adc playing O.K.”
0
supportsbelike says “As a high mobility and CC character, he can deny you your combos, get you in a lot of trouble with his knock-up. Stay away from him, or focus him down. He is still quite squishy!”
0
NirvanaBunny says “Rakan has a decent engage. With his kit it's hard to decide how much of threat he can be! He can E to his teammate, W to you to stun you, then E to his teammate again! If you lane against him, try to bubble where you think he'll be dashing.”
0
SawyerNelson says “Rakan is very weak in lane, so long that you avoid his all in level 1 with W, you will win lane, abuse him when he moves forward, and let your ADC tank his CC.”
0
Filteo says “He is just too fucking broken against you, if you miss your Q and he still has W you are done for. ”
0
DrunkenWolf says “Basically Alistar with less damage and more mobility.”
0
Hanjaro says “This is mostly a skill matchup to avoid his W engage. If he ever looks to W engage onto you, use your E backwards and then hook him towards your carry. If he engages on your carry you must counter CC enemy carry to avoid death. Lately i've seen a lot of Rakans using Guardian. Try to break Guardian and punish during its cooldown. Avoid skirmishing with this champ at level 6 if his carry is near you can get 1 shot during the CC duration.”
0
Dayum Draven says “Rakan is decently dangerous to you, especially if he's with Xayah. Although Rakan may seem like a weak support, he tends to shut down really aggressive champions like Draven. Don't get to close, he'll cc you and use you for q heals. Keep your distance and wait for support to engage.”
0
unownreality says “Rakan can lock down Sona just long enough to kill her. Watch his jumps and save your E to dodge. ”
0
Rozyrade says “As long as you can avoid his R-W combo, you should be fine, if you don't, death is almost imminent.”
0
Fruxo says “Dodge his E to your best ability and be careful of his lvl 6 spike, usually when he hits 6 he wants to look for an all-in together with his ADC.”

NirvanaBunny says “Rakan has a decent engage. With his kit it's hard to decide how much of threat he can be! He can E to his teammate, W to you to stun you, then E to his teammate again! ”

N0ZOMI says “High potential of dashing and bashing you. Play respectful and wait him to make mistake then make a move and grab yourslef a kill. He's not hard to kill. ”
0
SawyerNelson says “Rakan is a free lane, poke him early, then flash E ULT for an easy kill. You can also wait for him to E away then flash E him and his AD.
Block his Q with W, use ULT when he tries to ULT you or your AD”
0
FMLMOMENT says “Dodge W win lane , Your Ult makes his all in at 6 useless if timed correctly”
0
pennymagician says “You can block his knock-up and his charm with your black shield, if your quick. Just poke him down with your W. ”

NirvanaBunny says “Rakan has a decent engage. With his kit it's hard to decide how much of threat he can be! He can E to his teammate, W to you to stun you, then E to his teammate again! ”
0
SawyerNelson says “Rakan can poke you down with Q in lane avoid that. Flay his ULT W and W. When you hook rakan he will be able to E away to his ally.”
0
ImNotJade says “Rakan matchup is hard but if you're good at throwing hooks and placing flays, not much of a threat”
0
Tgrs says “Don't get hit with his W. you can easly stun him and his ally when he use his E. ”
0
Ooze OG says “Not really much of a threat. You can easily peel for your carries against his kit, and he can't stop your combo. ”
0
TheComicalBiker says “With good timing, Thresh can hook (Q) and flay (E) Rakan when he uses Battle Dance (E) or tries to catch people in his ultimate. ”
0
Yume Sora says “By playing safe you can poke Rakan. If he lands his W on you try using your W to stay invisible ”
0
Dudstrol says “Rakan é uma rota difícil a partir do nível 6, pois não ha como fugir de seu combo devido ao encanto de seu R(Rapidez). Antes disso é questão dele errar seu W(Entrada Triunfal).”
0
Rasta Da Masta says “He has 3 dashes, a free shield, an AoE heal, and one of the best initiation tools that requires inhuman reactions to get out of. Interrupting his dash is almost impossible since he moves so fast. You might need Flash + Cleanse to get away.”
0
R30p3r says “Rakan is a kinda hard match up cause he can counter your engage (A) with his Z and he's got a lot of mobility ”
0
TenshiQwQ says “Good all in engage but not too hard to dodge with your passive movement speed. If you stay at his W max range he can't really hit you unless he uses his ult.”
0
Crippledtoot says “Hard to stop Rakan when he goes in but you can just focus his Carry and you should be fine.”
0
L1ever says “all champion who have cc and a lot of damage with adc to oneshot her”
0
Jeroen R8 says “Rakan is very fast and slippery. Your reactions need to be on point to cancel his abilities. When you do manage to cancel his dash back to safety you can kill him pretty much insantly.”
0
ff20orfeeding says “Your only saving grace against Rakan is that he is "melee" and his "Q" dosn't deal that much damage. If he goes in with "W" you can get out of his way if you stay mobile and try something. Otherwise it's a hard one which only gets harder.”
0
Ch33syB0y8 says “Rakan's kit is fairly made against you, yet he isn't very effective early.”
0
Saecriru says “This match up is more of an even lane. If one side is ahead, they usually stay ahead unless they make mistakes with their positioning. If matched with a Xayah this is a hard match up, otherwise its pretty simple.”
0
NDarKnight says “if you do your combo on rakan he just use E on adc. And if you use combo on adc he will use W on your adc, so your combo is useless then you did some low damage but still your adc wasnt able to do damage to their adc.”
0
unhben says “Because of the Rakan changes in [9.2], there is more reaction time to avoid his CC and land fair trades after they engage.”
0
KidoTakayoshi says “Pretty much like Alistar, try to deal a lot of damage before he gets near.”
0
I love Lun Lun says “Rakan is off the meta again.He is strong with his W,ULT however not that great.Since he is slower it's way obvious to see what he will do and since we can predict his W easily now we can E below him and prevent him from using his dangerous ult.”
0
weinerman says “hah, pathetic, this boing boinging birderino can't engage on you with his e (because you have your spell shield) so he has to engage on your support. or not at all. either way you win (focus their adc). when he's not in range for his bouncey move just spell shield his q i guess.”
0
SawyerNelson says “Rakan has an ok Laning phase against Pyke, but Pyke has kill potetial on Rakan as almost all stages, try to counter his failed W's in rather than forcing pulls on him since he has 2 escapes.”
0
devanj4 says “A good Rakan can catch Bard out which is his worst nightmare, play back and try to dodge his kockup, or stun him while he goes in so you can blow him up”
0
SawyerNelson says “Rakan can't reciprocate Bard's damage early, avoid his level 6 all in and out poke in him lane.”
0
Wasbeer says “This match-up is a skill match-up, because Rakan can kill you early with his CC, but if you dodge the majority of his skills you tip the scale. Late game its the same, but you'r heal makes up for you'r lack of CC.”
0
Qwerty19 says “He gets tanky and still deals a good amount of magic damage. Wait for your jg to gank you and then lock down him or their adc for a kill. Rinse and repeat. Don't get caught though.”
0
SpicySkelleton says “One of the few annoying champs to go against with as a Support, his abilities can save himself and his adc while he heals a lot of damage you and your adc have worked to do to his adc. Also not to mention he can build up a lot of burst damage to be the equivalent of a short range adc. I recommend you try to juke him out in wasting his abilities by making erratic and dangerous movements towards either him or his adc while either trying to get your jg set up for a gank or go grab either him of his adc to your tower for a safer kill....
Well.. That or hope hes either new or too high to understand what the hell hes doing. ”
0
Lonxu says “I haven't played that much vs him, but he should be similar to Ali and Leona as in he has seriously dangerous engages.
And of course he even has some sustain vs your poke.

0
Scripters says “Pay attention to his W, and R. Wait that he use both of them, then you can R.”
0
revelador says “sona es muy buen pick contra rakan, su e hace que esquivar su w sea fácil, la w bloquea el daño de la q y u q le quita la curación de su q y tu r niega totalmente a su r, solo no te dejes atrapar en su combo r+w y estará facil”
0
Great President says “Just dodge his w and stun him.After 6,be careful to his r. In teamfights, he'll probably start teamfight so dont run for him when he used his r.”

xdardax says “U can deny his W with your Q but its hard. When he engages in TFs u can use R and W to stop him. ”
0
Saeh says “He is mobile and hard to hit with your Q, so just use it on his ADC. Wait for him to go in to W you or your adc and throw your E to guarantee a root.”

BreathlesSx says “That is a pretty even match-up. Try not to get hit by his W in early game and try to interrupt his R.”
