Have you ever been flashed R and W'd on? You're literally cc'd for 3s straight, combo that with vayne knockback into a wall, or any other adc cc. Thats 5s of sitting still. It was a free kill every 60s

Wrong. It was a free kill every time flash was up, so a free kill every 4-5 minutes. Which is about usual for cc supports. The biggest issue with Rakan currently is as you say though: his combo potential is pretty scary. But they'd already nerfed over half the movement speed from his W and E, and right now, I think the better option is to look at VAYNE (finally) because VAYNE has been BUSTED for MONTHS!

There's a lot of other compensation that's going with not being able to use W and E during his R. It might not be a net nerf that and you can still at least W before then R. The E at least makes his R initiation at least a bit risky.

it's not risky it's impossible to engage with not an almost perfect engage against good player

When Rakan uses R he can’t use W or E for the duration

Is that on PBE or something atm? Because if so then the testings on that should be pretty clear that is going to be a NO thing.

The movement speed got a pretty big buff and can be refreshed for a pretty long time

At the expense of making Rakan vulnerable to all forms of crowd control if he doesn’t get people charmed fast enough. There is literally no middle ground if these changes go live. He either has to go all in and pray he gets enough impact before dying or he abandons the all in and waits for his R to be back up.

I look it as his engages have to be better thought out rather than the previous iteration that allowed gor him to force any engage he wanted due to the intense safety of his kit.
