Playing against Rakan

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Rakan is one of the most mobile supports: his engages are fast. Prepare CC to stop him during his W.

2

Spread out when he activates R (charm): he wants to charm as many targets as possible by running through the group.

3

Rakan is extremely squishy: if he's CC'd before he can return to his carry, he dies instantly.

4

His W knockup has a visible windup: dash or Flash out of the impact zone.
