As we know Rakan is squishy. I have been trying to play him since his release and I dont think the W buff helps him at all.

Q= Increase range by 100. I fully agree with this buff.

W= Increase base damage late game. This doesn't help....at all....

E= Base shield lowered late game. Ok you can do this but make a trade off like lower the base shield but increase the range. I lose too much health when i dive in and my adc is just out of range (unless i have xayah) I dont wanna feel crippled when I dont have a Xayah adc.

What Riot should test on the PBE: Q = +100 range [[perfect]]

W= Revert damage back to how it is on live and: [[New Effect]] Rakan gains [[__]] damage reduction/ Bonus Armor and Magic Resist for 2 seconds when he activates Grand Entrance. (This can be used on his ult instead...but yea this helps more than increase base damage.)

E= Base shield lower late game, +150 range. + 50 range when Xayah is the adc.

Do you guys agree???

why would he need a buff anyway?? he is the most mobile champion of the game .. he can literally dodge everything . that's enough

I don't think he needs a range buff on Q. Experienced Rakan players, just use W 1st, then Q on point blank range. Always hits that way, unless if vs a Soraka who can silence. I think he should be made more tanky, without that much damage. His ult alone is very toxic to play against and his mobility can make you pull out your hairs, more than a Bard can. His kit is so strong, it doesn't need damage buffs, just make tankier with a bit less damage and maybe more mana costs.

Rakan already has an abysmal winrate, he will drop even lbelow Miss Fortune after this nerf to his shield.
