🔒 Suggested "Buff":Nerf Rakan's attack range!

Please make Rakan melee, so he can effectively use Relic Shield. It is extremely difficult for him to last hit minions to get the relic shield procs because he has an attack range of 300, which is too short to effectively and consistently deal damage in combat, and too long for him to qualify as melee to trigger the relic shield execute. Thresh is a champion who often buys relic shield, but the charge up damage to his autos that comes from his flay allows him to last hit more easily. Rakan has no similar mechanic.

Making Rakan melee would be a buff because it would offset a big weakness-Rakan is too squishy! He's an excellent initiator with his W and to use his ultimate he often has to dive into the backline and hope that he's not blown up. Additionally, his battle dance often puts him in harms way to shield his teammates.

Just imagine the mid-game where Rakan has bought item 2303 instead of item 2302 . He would have 300 more HP AND if he has completed the quest to get the shield battery, then he would have an additional 255-340 hp shield that recharges and further supplements his passive shield. RIOT lets make that dream into a reality!!

Wrong section. And last I checked, Relic Shield doesn't require melee, it works on thresh, and he's ranged.
