I bought Rakan a decent time ago, and had fun playing him for a while.. but then I just got extremely tired of him.
Is it only me that finds him EXTREMELY underpowered, especially compared to other supports. Even when playing with a Xayah, it's incredibly hard to do anything.
-The Q does BARELY any healing. -His W is easily dodged
I don't know why, but I just feel really useless playing him, compared to other supports like Blitzcrank and Taric, and many more.
Jamaree2 votesI don't feel like he is underpowered, his heal is lackluster sure, but his knock up and ulti are pretty game winning.
Gigglingdeath2 votesRakan, if mastered, is arguably the most versatile support champion. He can play safe and ardent his adc, or engage heavily or disengage heavily... he has everything you'd want in a support. His engage/disengage is astounding and a good Rakan can basically outplay any other support. I actually think he's almost overpowered rather than underpowered.
Hammermancer2 votesI almost feel like the bot lane duo should be regeared so he's an AP fighter in jungle and Xayah becomes a mid laner but then again I'm a moron so

Would be cool tbh
Poske1 votesHe is somewhat overated
As far as worlds go
He is the only support who can go ardent + engage. Also he isnt nerfed there

Shadòw1 votesif at all he is overpowered when played right, but not underpowered.

To each their own on this. I have some friends that LOVE Rakan, they love the thrill of the playmaking potential Rakan has, while I myself don't like him all that much. But same can be said for any champion.

If I may ask, which champions do you usually enjoy to play?
Rakan is pretty special, he is a support with the gameplay of an assassin. So if you enjoy champions like Zed, Talon and so on, you will probably enjoy Rakan. But if you usually play tanks and juggernauts, chances are you won't like him.
Better Jungler1 votesif played right, easily one of the most broken supports in the game.
The Sword Saint1 votesHe's super annoyingly strong at doing what he does, which is to be a very slippery engage and peel support. There's few things as frustrating as thinking you caught either him or a teamate out because they're a screen away from their team, only have rakan do a super long range mario kart triple dash and punish you for wanting to interact with his team.
If you decide to play safe, he can still make regular attempts to do the equivilent of an alistair combo on you under tower at no risk since he get zip right out instantly and won't take turret aggro if he misses. Even if he doesn't miss he'll only take 1 tower shot at most.
Ofc if you try and duel people or play super passive like a knockoff soraka or whatever as rakan you'll lose, but everything else about him is obnoxious.
