Playing as Rakan

Tips to maximize your impact

Land a quill, then return to your ADC
Hit a champion with Gleaming Quill (Q), then return to your ADC: you heal yourself, and the heal reaches nearby allies as soon as you touch one.
Engage when your ADC can follow
Engage with Grand Entrance (W) when your ADC can follow: you leap onto them, and enemies around your landing spot take a knock-up.
Dance through, then leap
Cast The Quickness (R) and run through their team, then Grand Entrance (W): each enemy you touch while running is charmed, then takes a knock-up when you land.
Recast your dance to another ally
Recast Battle Dance (E) a second time to reach another ally: each dash shields the ally you target.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Gleaming Quill (Q) strikes the first enemy in its path, and if it hits a champion, Rakan heals his team.
Keep your distance
Keep your distance when his ADC steps up: Grand Entrance (W) lets him leap onto you, and enemies around his landing spot take a knock-up.
Save your CC for his arrival
If you have CC, save it for when he lands in the middle of your team: only Battle Dance (E) then lets him leave toward an ally.
Spread out from your allies
Spread out from your allies when he casts The Quickness (R): he charms every enemy he touches while running.
