Hey there, I love your guide first of all but I have quite a few questions generally on Rakan runes, builds and such.

First of all for summoner spells, is it viable in your opinion to go Flashless and only go with Exhaust and Ignite as Rakan has many jumps and dashes to get outta situations, I Understand it may be like Rell where after she uses her Ferromancy she's kinda dead besides Rakan's E. Also I saw Hylissang use it and questioned it.

Secondly, is there a secondary Domination tree Rakan support can use. Like for example would Zombie Ward and Ultimate Hunter work with a Guardian Build or a Summon Aery Build. Or would it be better to stick to Sorcery or Inspiration.

Thanks,

M1sh0

To your first question, yes it's possible, but highly matchup dependent. Facing something that can cancel your dashes like Thresh with his fling or even any CC champion makes it way harder to play without Flash. Also you weaken your own 'all-in'-engages like Flash + Grand Entrance or other combinations.

You name it. If you want to use Zombie Ward or Ultimate Hunter you can take them, but you'll definetly have a weaker lane than with Sorcery or Inspiration runes. It doesn't really matter for the whole game and just depends on your own liking, but Resolve Sorcery aswell as Inspiration have the most useful and also the best laning siderunes.

you really spent a lot of time and effort on this guide, and it's one of the best I've seen on Mobafire.
Thankyou for writing this in a way that can help those new to rakan, as well as improving others with a little experience.

Hello, There are some problems with your build you may have over looked. There is a very high impacting movement speed cap. So high in fact, i will get higher movement speed when using my ult if i am NOT using nimbus cloak, or boots of mobility. This is because the cap is % based, reducing MS to 80% at soft cap and 50% at hard cap (which is what your build is running). Also due to the changes in banner of command this patch this makes it much more viable than Zz'rot Portal at the moment. Write me back with your thoughts :3

Would love to bounce idea's and theorycraft off you anytime :D I was thinking about running domination as my 2nd path due to the 40% item CD reduction given by indigenous hunter, at only a combo of 5 kills or assist. This reduces the time of 120s Cd items to 72. I am not sure if this is worth it, as i see more viable options in other trees, such as biscut delivery+cosmic insight.

That sounds easier as it is for new Rakan players or hard matchups. I always try to choose the easiest way so everyone has good chances to play well with Rakan even while having some trouble or sth.

Keep in mind that in most of my builds or for example the example rune pages too are meant and designed for standard players and not directly the advanced or professional ones. If you count yourself as advanced I highly suggest to change items, runes or even summoner spells to your likings and playstyle. If you can easily achieve those 5 kills or assists Ingenious Hunter could be the best choice for you! :)

I thought about the cap and read some stuff. Afterwards I tested it. With the runes of the "angry birb" tab of my guide for poke/aggressive playstyles and with a build of Eye of Ascension, Mobility Boots, Shurelya's Battlesong, Ardent Censer, Knight's Vow and Turbo Chemtank I reach a raw movement speed of 497 without using any abilities, having any teammates or using item actives. As the wiki says this should apply the hard cap. But even though we achieve the highest possible movement speed (with support items and stuff like Youmuu's Ghostblade excluded) because of the formulas:

If the raw speed is 415 or lower, no cap is applied.
If the raw speed is between 415 and 490, final speed is soft capped to RawMS × 0.8 + 83.
If the raw speed is above 490, final speed is soft capped to RawMS × 0.5 + 230.

Maybe you missed that out or sth, but after my tests with this setup we reach movement speed with The Quickness + Turbo Chemtank + Shurelya's Battlesong of 704. Not a single other combination of boots or items reaches the 700 mark without Nimbus Cloak.

With Nimbus Cloak active we can even boost those 704 movement speed up to 807 which results in the highest possible movement speed that I was able to achieve while testing.

If you think I miscalculated something or you want to prove me wrong feel free to. We all want the same I think and that is to find the best and strongest way to play Rakan! :)
