Rakan W Change Suggestion

AHarmlessTaco··4 votes·604 views

Personally, I think the CD should be increased by like 4 seconds at all ranks but refund cd on hitting a champion with it, like Thresh's hook. Right now I think it provides a little much mobility. Granted, it is fun af using it to get away, I just wonder if maybe he would be better in fights with proper usage. Not sure.

So basically we have Rakan, a support that never crossed the line of >46% winrate, and you suggest to nerf him? In a way where he has to hit an ability that every single champion can just run away from because it's on a 1 second delay? seems legit

Id also like to see the delay lowered slightly and a slight range bonus to his e. I dont care if someone is UP right now, it would be a good design change for reward hits with his W and to punish simply running away with it. Everything else in his kit can be buffed with numbers....

Good suggestion. His W is a great initiate, but it shouldn't be an easy escape (he already has E for that).

Refund what amount, the mentioned 4 seconds? Lol, that'd be ridiculous, he's weak af right now and you'd nerf him?

From 18-12 to 22-16 and have it refund like 50% taking it to 11-8 meaning more uptime for successful hits thus buffing successful plays at the cost of delayed rotations if he misses. Net -7 seconds for hits @lvl 1 or +4 seconds if he misses.

Might be interesting, but risky adjust considering he's doing very poorly rn, I'd leave it for times when he does better, like ~51% winrate at mid-high elo

It was just something to consider along with buffs. I honestly think his low win rate is simply due to inexperience. I dont think hes THAT weak all in all. A lot of ADCs Ive played with dont even know how to work with him in lane and I only kind of recently figured out how to play him in the mid-late game after 20 games straight. I think he is stronger than win rate suggests.

Honestly? Yes. I agree. I play him AP mid actually, very underrated.

You want to nerf an underpowered champion? Okay lol. Rito hire this guy.

Would also like to see some buffs but a good design change from easy access escape to something that rewards aggressive use is generally in line with other champs.
