Countering Rakan

I've been playing quite a lot of this champion and I must say that he's a lot of fun! I love his kit and aesthetics!

but I was wondering... does he have any important counter? a playstyle or something? on my last game it felt like the enemy had no chance to stop me (CAN'T STOP ME!) and I kept hitting them all with my W and ult... all in all combining both skills gives you 2.5 seconds of uninterrupted CC at max level... that's bonkers!

When I started playing him I was pretty bad but as I keep learning I don't see any downside to this champion :S I guess good Rakans can go in and make it out alive but does it even matter if you die when your team ends up acing the enemy all because you went in like crazy?

I know that his E can be interrupted but the thing is so fast that if the enemy skill isn't on the air when you cast you'll probably complete the knock up with no problems plus the range is pretty deceiving... add Xayah in all that and you get one crazy OP champion

His weakness is supposed to be that his engage ability is rather telegraphed and CC is supposed to stop him before he knocks someone up. He has rather limited range and early game he's rather squishy.

In theory both Karma and Lulu should be good against him because they can both respond to his W rather easily and they can poke him down rather easily too because his Q is kinda slow and short ranged. Lulu can also poke through the minion wave while Rakan can not.

Janna might be good against him, because she can simply ult him if he starts to ult or Q+W to slow him down,

I find bard counters him hard because he pokes very hard on rakan pre lv 3 which is when i get my w on rakan so i'm assuming everyone does that. And he will usually be too low to do anything to bard by this time also unless he can land that short ass q abilty he doesn't really have any sustain for himself
