What a surprise, who could have seen this coming? Definitely not everyone...

Downvote all you want I DO KNOW its been just 2 days BUT I must rant about this, I love Xayah and she feels great to play with/against, but Rakan is just retardedly unfair and I am calling it now, he will be the most broken support by far if not nerfed immediatelly. Who the fck thought that giving support extreme mobility and extreme CC with high base damage will not make them retardedly broken, especially since people arent stupid and are already building Rakan full tank despite his huge AP scallings. Remember other high mobility champs RITO ?? Yasuo, Fizz, Ekko? Remember that they are building full tank to abuse base dmg and extreme mobility? Well what a good fcking idea to make a support do the same so that they dont feel discriminated...

TLDR - did CertainlyT design Rakan?

his mobility is only usefull with allies around. otherwise he has none.
his base dmg is "high" because he has 50% ratios and rather high cd
also he is all skillshots. he misses his q he loses a huge amount of his utility.
honestly he feels useless without his ult

He has high base damage? I never noticed.

Pretty solid with T. Lord's but outside of that? "Meh".

Ah ok. I was using Windspeakers to boost the healing and shielding.

Should be mentioned, the Heal only happens IF the Q connects with an Enemy Champion, And then, you still have to basically tag a teammate for them to be healed. The shield from his E is alright, but we aren't talking anything at all like Janna/Karma/Lulu/Ivern shields here.

And of course, with any mobile champion, if you don't bring enough CC to stop them, well, that's kinda your own fault.

He's good, in the sense he can cause quite a bit confusion by constantly darting in then back out from the enemy, but at the end of the day, he's still a support who will ultimately rely upon his team.

Feels like reading a description of Lee Sin or Yasuo who are both considered cancer by everyone who isnt their main. Hmmm hmmmm...

Rakans mobility isn't an issue if hes not 100-0ing the adc single handedly

Rakan :

Less Range than most tanks Less Health than most adcs Less CC than most non supports Less Mobility than most Assasins Less Damage than most Champions His heal is about as useful as relic shield ) if he can even hit it.. which he cant because he loses half his health trying) Dont even get me started on his cooldown times which make no sense for his lacking in all of the above.

somehow = OP

If you want to beat Rakan just remember this.. He dies from one cc and auto attack.. which is easy to land because he has to dash to you and takes a second before his cc even goes off.. which btw can be dodged 100% of the time just by walking in any direction.. Not to mention his knock-up is cancelled if you cc him with anything other than a slow. All of his abilities including his escape is shut down by a single cc.. He cant ult you if you slow him and walk backwards shooting him.. he will die almost immediately if not from one ability and an auto attack. He's probably the most nonviable champion on the rift, so saying he is OP is just hilarious to me.

I mean holy shit you just aoe anyone he tries to dash onto and he dies trying to help them.. It's literally the funniest most shitty champion I have ever played with or against.

All you have to do is farm and poke him.. His Q is easier to avoid than ezreals and you trade massive damage onto him just by sidestepping it and autoing him.. The only time he every makes a play is if you ignore him .. Otherwise you can ust farm him for gold.. He's like a support who needs a support to support.
