Riot please explain why all of Rakan's abilities scale off of AP. No build path I ever see enables him to build AP because his kit is all engage. So if you build AP you get obliterated when you engage or you build tank which everyone does and none of his abilities ever scale. It really doesn't make any sense at all to me.
On a side note: it is really annoying that relic shield does not execute with him.
Thanks for listening.
With the recent updates. I've been finding 
is a better item as the quest give movement speed proc for every ability hits. And the AP help a bit on your damage, healing and shielding tons.
The only real AP items you should be building with him as support is 
.
I agree with the executes, I wonder if they can code it that his close range aa has a different aa animation be use to proc it, which could do the same for Thresh. But meh, just learn to last hit and it should be fine.
They scale off AP so his damage, shields, and heal doesn't get overbearing when he is built tanky. He still offers plenty to the table in a tanky build without armor/health/MR scalings. The utility is given high AP ratios so the little AP he does get feels more impactful, but only the utility scaling is high so AP Rakan isn't overbearing.
