How to beat Rakan

Common role: Support

A hyper-mobile enchanter who dashes in to knock up and charms a grouped team.

What makes Rakan dangerous

Rakan dashes to an ally or in a line (W is a knock-up engage), shields allies, and his ultimate charms enemies he dashes through — a huge AoE engage. His mobility lets him flash in, lock down a team and dash back out to peel his carry. He's all about his charm engage and slippery repositioning.

How to play against Rakan

• 1Dodge his W (a leap knock-up) — it's his main engage. Sidestep the telegraphed dash and his lockdown fails.
• 2Respect his ult charm — it hits everyone he dashes through. Don't group tightly when he can flash-ult into your team.
• 3He's slippery but squishy — if you catch him without his dashes up, hard CC and burst delete him.
• 4Bait his engage/mobility, then commit — after he uses W and R he has limited follow-up.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓W engage is a dodgeable leap.
• ✓Squishy — punish him when his dashes are down.
• ✓Charm ult needs grouped enemies — spread out.
• ✓Low damage on his own; he's an enabler.
