I made a team comp around Rakan (and Xayah)
: Jungle. His kit works perfectly for hard engage when it would otherwise be unsafe for Rakan to go in. Not to mention his new passive making the damage Rakan does even better since Rakan will probably build similar to Ivern (AP, HP, tank where/when needed)
:Top. A front line Juggernaut that could definitely benefit from a hyper mobile support that dashes in and out while providing utility to his team. Darius losing the chase? Rakan dances over and catapults them into the air long enough for him to reach them. Rakan can also shield and heal Darius in a fight because Darius positions himself in a way that will allow Rakan to utilize the most of his kit.
: Mid. Her ball on Rakan would be devastating, not much else to say other than the fact that Jhin himself couldn't perFOURm better than Rakan's W plus Orianna ult.
Xayah: ADC. An obvious choice, but she also benefits from this team albeit not the same way Rakan does. Her feathers will rely on the positioning of both her and her enemies, the innate cc all these champs contain enough stopping power for her to get the feathers all set up for crazy amounts of damage and crowd control. Not to mention Xayah doesn't really have hard escapes by herself, but this team is entirely capable of covering that for her. Darius? Smash. Orianna? Shield and/or cc peel. Amumu? Hard lockdown peel giving a window of retaliation or escape. Rakan? Shield and/or heal and/or cc peel.
What do you guys and gals think? I haven't read this much into a new champ release since Jhin.
mid. For the E ofc.
