Rakan and Blitzcrank

Right now Rakan is the most trolltastic support in the game. You can't out-poke him (because of his Q and his tankiness), you can't all-in him (without hard CC), but the worst thing about his kit, the most cancerous and exploit-ish thing about Rakan is that he can use other abilities in conjunction with his W. Why is this bad?

Because his W is supposed to be a calculated risk. However, combine it with his E and voila! Now he can spam W all game until he lands it with no fear of being caught. You're also supposed to be able to dodge his W, but again, combine it with his R and voila! Completely undodgeable because you're instantly charmed before the packets from his W even arrive at your computer.

Now I know: you're supposed to counter Rakan by picking a support with hard CC. You have to be able to catch him when he Ws for long enough that the ADC can kill him. But this is not good enough. You want to know why everyone bans Blitzcrank? It's because, like Rakan, the only counterplay is in champion select. In Blitzcrank's case, you either pick tanky, or you lose. In Rakan's case, you either pick hard CC, or you lose. If you pick first, you're out of luck. That shouldn't be a thing. There shouldn't be any champions that you either counter-pick or you lose.

On a somewhat related note: when are you going to rework Blitzcrank? He's currently the 3rd most banned champion, and has been hovering around there for quite some time. When a champion is nearly always banned that should clue you in that something about that champion is either OP or rage-inducing. Win rate data from OP.GG suggests Blitzcrank is not OP, so clearly it's the hate factor that puts his ban rate so high. Blitzcrank is banned in 95.07% of games because nobody wants their champion selection narrowed to tanks only. The same can be said of Rakan, but he's only banned in 17.71% of games because most supports have hard CC, so it's only a problem if you want to play a support that doesn't have hard CC. If you can at least fix Blitzcrank then you'll solve my problem with Rakan incidentally, by removing the one champion that you have to ban if you want to play a non-tank support.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
