So a while ago i saw that the scaling of Rakan's spells is on a mage level.I mean 50,60 and 70% ap scaling are too much for a type of support like him.I just wanted to point this out and I'm gonna put a pole on the topic if you thing its ok or nay for him to have this scaling.
ModWulf Helhammer2 votesBecause he’s not supposed to be tanky.
He’s an assassin play style enchanter/disrupter. He gets in, then has to get out.
One of the reasons why he’s classified as ranged.

webstar19951 votesRakan APC with Pyke support is being playing in China. Rakan does a good bit of damage. It's fine.
Leyruh1 votesI'm pretty ok with it. It's not like a Rakan support is gonna oneshot me, because he won't be building full AP.
If that's a Rakan mid, that's another story, but I've never seen it in my games.
As Rakan, I never bought armor or health items. ( such as 
, 
or 
)
I was rushing 
, often got 
, then bought 
.
After that, I bought AP items because his scalings are so high. I think I bought 
, 
and then would aim for 
, but I never got to buy it since it's so expensive.
[ Just checked my match history, and yea, I would buy . I hope nobody thought I was trolling. xD ]
However, I always took "regular" Rakan runes, which is Guardian, in the Resolve tree. I was there to protect, engage and heal, not to burst people down.
DuskDaUmbreon1 votesIt's fine, because no sane Rakan goes full AP.
It's a lot of scaling, sure, but it's also borderline suicide to go in at that point. You'd be bursted too fast to survive with a heavy AP build.
Weedlayer1 votesIsn't it preferable to have high Scaling and lower base damage?
That way, he has to make a decision on whether to itemize tanky (and do little damage) or AP (And be squishy).
