Rakan nerfs

Its my first time typing something out on a forum, but i just wanted to voice my sadness that the one support i enjoyed playing the most has been gutted in a pretty sad way. Grand Entrance was by far the most entertaining and enjoyable ability to use for me, it led to both deaths and laughs to kills and cheers. Seeing as Rakan now moves slower than Grandma(84) Im just super disappointed that they also had to tack on a base armor reduction. Now when i miss a W im severely punished. Im not asking for a revert, but I am asking for some speed back, maybe even a little base armor back.

Sadly yes , a random nerf with no meaning No one complained about him lol , why nerf him Not like his Engage is the best one I've seen Rakan players doing that mistake even in pro play where they Flash R W engage where their teammates are really far and no one can reach his engage , Aprohomo himself did that mistake a lot And now it's even worse lol

Love how they haven't changed the abilities representation in the collection section (where you can click on their icons for info), it still has the old one lul. Idk maybe the nerf is still on pbe? Explain this please.

Rakan in my opinion needs Changing. id make him a melee champion without changing his range because he is only ranged for ... reasons. id take off 10 seconds early and 2 seconds late for his passive. Remove Xayah's W interaction for better scaling attack speed. Increase his hp armor and magic resist But probally not without a mass buff to all melee's maybe just his hp then 10 or 12% buff to his q damage and a better scaling for his q base heal. w early cooldown nerfed by 4 seconds E early cooldown nerfed by 4 seconds remove the increased range with Xayah And make the former Xayah E range his base dash range or if thats too much at least halfway between the Xayahs and normal E. Remove 5% ap scaling from shield value Sure the thing is Xayah and Rakan lovers help each other. What i dont like about it is part of Rakan's power is locked in Xayah's Kit but none of Xayah's power is locked in Rakan's kit like if Xayah's W attack speed was halved but it was doubled when effecting rakan. So there is give and take in the game play of their relationship instead of Xayah holding all the keys. If Rakan Uses his Q while xayah has her passive up he also proc's xayah's passive as his damage. If xayah gets changes where she loses power and its put into rakan's kit then id be okay with rakan keeping some power in her kit. and not xayah getting more power through rakan's kit without losing anything like we all know is most likely cause she's an adc and riot fears adc mains cause they are the loudest babies on the boards and reddit when they arent happy compared to any other class.

Also i never liked being locked out of auto attacking during ult. maybe ult can give 1.75 or 3 seconds per target hit for passive instead of 1 second and if rakan has shield up regens 10% of passive shield per person hit?

I may have not played Rakan in awhile before his nerf, and i heard about it... I didn’t think THAT was what got nerfed until i played him again recently and just was puzzled on how slow the W was... Mind you, I can notice sudden change in speed and adjust but when a speed is slow... ugh. This is just not something to nerf. It was fine... it only makes him more susceptible to dying for no reason... and much easier to dodge for the enemy adc/support laners he’s against... idk how many times I used it only to die or get close to death. They made a big boo boo on this one.
