Some things about Rakan regarding balance

Sitting at a 45% win rate as a the first mobile support is alarming. While I myself have played Rakan nonstop since his release as a support main I see some obvious things that don't male sence in his kit. First off I hate using ancient coin. I would much rather use relic shield or spellthief on ANY support champion. Even on Janna or soraka a little bit of AP cam go a long way. Rakan however does not synergize well with either of these items almost forcing him to use coin. I have been using relic shield on Rakan regardless because it synergizes extremely well in him but the range/ melee thing is super annoying. I honestly think that this was a horrible mistake that riot made considering his attack animation is clearly a melee attack. Riot just take the punch and change him to melee.

Second thing that really pops out to me is Rakans E and his synergy with Xayah. To me I think that it's too far of a range with Xayah and not enough range without Xayah. I think that overall if it was always somewhere in between the two ranges that would be great. As far as Xayahs ability that works with Rakan you might as well remove that too since there is no clarity for ally or enemy alike as to when it's active.

They can keep the recall... It's so beautiful :). Overall I really like Rakan and he is actually really balanced considering he really had the potential to be OP. Keep up the good work.
