Why make Rakan squishier?????

I need someone to explain this to me. Rakan is an all-in champ who was not even that tanky, especially compared to ridiculously tanky supports like alistar and leona. At least balance that unneeded nerf by increasing his q's heal at early ranks so he doesn't get poked down so harshly. Yes, he's very mobile and can get out of dangerous situations, but was this nerf really necessary when he already wasn't tanky in the first place? I hardly see anyone but myself pick him in solo queue -- so I don't know what make's him a "dominant pick" if morgana and brand are the most picked supports I've personally been seeing lately.

Riot believes he needs greater tradeoff for being such a hard engaging, mobile champion. I agree with them to some extent, but everyone fails to realize that his W alone sits you in place for half a second, more than long enough for someone to snare you and blow you up. When combined R+W however, I do agree he doesn't suffer enough of a tradeoff.
