A LOT ... About Rakan

PureSilvrr·9/1/2017, 6:25:49 AM·1 votes·1,292 views

Ive been playing rakan for a while now, and i just want to rant/ask a lot of questions about gameplay/lore and see if i get answers

Why can't he w>flash? Why was the w cancel removed?(If you backed in the middle of his dash animation, you could cancel the knockup part. Not really useful, but just something cool you could do.) Rakan used to be able to w, then use protobelt after the dash and before the knockup for better burst potential but it was removed, why? Why doesn't q bounce off of jungle camps? Why cant he E off of minions or E himself? Whats Rakan's favorite music genre? How did Rakan's ult receive its name? Why is there a q return animation if the heal is around you as soon as you hit someone? for aesthetics? Is Rakans favorite human food Chocolate or does he just really like it? How old is rakan? Are Rakan/Xayah skins going the cheesy route(tango/heartseeker skins) or the normal route (pool party/other series that dont relate to them being a couple.) If you actually read this thank you for your time.

Why can't he w>flash?

Because it's a ground-targeted ability with a dash component. It works like that for Zed shadow too.

Why was the w cancel removed?(If you backed in the middle of his dash animation, you could cancel the knockup part. Not really useful, but just something cool you could do.)

It was bugfixed because people didn't want to be locked out of Flash until casting Grand entrance again when they did that.

V7.13 June 28th Hotfix Grand Entrance BUG FIX: Fixed a bug where, if he was interrupted during the dash, he became unable to use Flash until re-casting Grand Entrance.

Rakan used to be able to w, then use protobelt after the dash and before the knockup for better burst potential but it was removed, why?

Same reason, it would lock his Flash until he used W again.

Why doesn't q bounce off of jungle camps?

Probably to lock him into the duo lane.

Why cant he E off of minions or E himself?

Not sure, maybe Rakan doesn't like the minions' outfits.

How did Rakan's ult receive its name?

Idk this one, but it probably took them a lot of tries to find the right fit.

Why is there a q return animation if the heal is around you as soon as you hit someone? for aesthetics?

Not sure, but I don't think they deserve to keep part of Rakan's feathers so I'm glad it bounces.

Is Rakans favorite human food Chocolate or does he just really like it?

It's his favourite human food :)

How old is rakan?

Mid-late 20's

Are Rakan/Xayah skins going the cheesy route(tango/heartseeker skins) or the normal route (pool party/other series that dont relate to them being a couple.)

We don't know what Riot will do yet. I'd hope for a mix of both.

I love Rakan too; he's very fun. Happy to help^^
