Rakan QOL: Q half heal on minions

MysterQ·Oct 27, 2017·1 votes·276 views

Rakan's Q still feels like a terrible skillshot. When you hit it, it doesn't do anything, but when you miss it you lose out on everything. Can he at least give his ADC a miniheal if he hits a minion.

Rakan is already strong, now giving him more buffs?

That's not QoL, that's a full on buff.

Also it can be decent poke, that comes with added heal for you and a teammate.

Its not supposed to do noticeable damage, do not give people any reason to take him mid. Its also an easy skillshot, if you cant land it then you havent played that much of him. Have you considered using your q during full combo engages? After you land your w, q the enemy. It also gives a pretty fair heal, especially if you build right. You can even heal multiple teammates at once if theyre in range. Rakan is in a great spot right now imo, he doesnt need anything else.

Right, but I wasn't asking for damage (although I think if balanced supports should be allowed to go to other solo lanes).

If you are in their face, sure you can hit them. But if you aren't, it becomes pretty tough. And having your ADC poked out and only having two small shields makes some lanes horrible. If my AD is losing lane, I kind of want to be able to help in some form. And you see other enchantes and such have easier heals and other engagers also have heals (Alistar).

Are you using the appropriate keystone? Are you building ardent? Those 2 are very important for him, it makes his abilities more impactful. And of course, not every comp will work in your favor. When you cant do anything for your adc, he/she should be freezing the lane on your side of the river so you can coordinate a gank with your jungler. Engages are rakans strength, so it shouldnt be a problem using ult+w on both enemy laners and getting a double kill to set the lane in your favor

What does any of that have to do with hitting your Q or missing it. I understand I can increase the heal, I wouldn't even say Ardent rush is the way to go right now. I know we won't win every lane. But when your ADC is constantly at 25% and getting poked out by longer range and missing all the cs it feels real bad to play Rakan. You can say it was a drafting problem then, but at that point nothing could be changed. It would have been nice to hit minions and heal ADC up, even if I could I am not sure I would since the mana is prohibitive.

Sorry, i brought it up with the purpose of increasing its effectiveness in general. But it seems your only problem is your ability to hit it. Being a skillshot, the only logical solution is to improve your skill with it; not change It to make it easier. Gold coin gives sufficient mana sustain if you miss, and it's definitely not an ability you should be spamming. If your adc is getting harassed, that's their problem, and they need to work on improving. Sorry to say you're SOL in that circumstance.
