I'm honestly loving Rakan right now!

Seriously, I haven't had this much fun as a support since Braum. My favorite thing about him isn't just his amazing engage and ability to fly around giving heals and shields to his team though, my FAVORITE thing about this man is his ultimate.

Enemies. You. Touch. Get. Charmed. I can't describe how beautiful this is for a support, for you to have the ability to just ruin a Yi's plan right after Alpha, for you to just rip TF off his Gate tp spot (as a TF main it hurts, but that's what he deserves for TPing right on top of my carry) you can actually punish sloppy engage even harder than most any other support with The Quickness.

Sloppy engage is oddly a very valid strategy with him, I had a great game where I dove in too deep with W, then E'd to the malphite that had not yet gone in. They all collapsed on the over-extended support that was no longer there and then got malph ulted followed up by the quickness. They surrendered right after.

His kit seems to give him the disengage to create a void in his play, you can almost never focus him because he's almost never there. It looks like he smacked your ADC in the face but he is actually shielding his mid laner. His role as a distraction is very well done, every time he gets focused his team gets a massive followup after his escape. And his ultimate is amazing for grouped up enemies.

I have to agree, hate fighting Xayah. It's probably a design choice though, Rakan's fun loving and fun to fight, Xayah is cold and calculated, creating an air of disdain about her for the most part.
