Pleasantly surprised...

by Rakan!

Okay, let's get this straight- Last time i played league was about july of last year. And before that was january, and then before that was who knows when. So i fell out of the game and only played in small bursts once or twice a year. Came back and found out about rakan and xayah. I'm a support main so i figured i'd have to play rakan, but he looked so cringy to me personality wise. Then, i played a game against a duo of the two and their interactions made me cringe into the next century (thanks babe) and stuff it just sounded so cheesy. Finally decided i owe it to myself as a support main to get him and boy was it worth it! First game as him and i dominated 2/0/21. He's a mixture of a lot of my favorite types of support (little bit of heal, little bit of shield, lots of mobility, good cc) and his personality that i thought i hated actually turned out to be something i loved. I realized this during that one line where he says

"I've been kicked around since I was born. It's alright! It's okay! I'm staying alive!"

and then also when he started doing that whole jazz thing jamming out. idk what that's called. but the VA did an incredible job, he's just overflowing with cheer and but also solemn wisdom and i actually find myself wanting to play him a lot more.

I also have an extreme appreciation for how he moves. When he walks around he sometimes turns around by like doing some kind of dance move? he's so stylish!

I know if he ever gets skins it'll have to pair with xayah having a similar skin somehow, but i'm excited to see what kind of possibilities they might have. any ideas you'd like to share?
