One of the worst counters to Rakan because she can black shield any crowd control you do to any champion she gives her shield to.On top of that if you as Rakan use W to jump in on her, she can use her q to bind you and you will be impaired for a very long time especially late game.
Alistar
if I were to engage without my ult early game . He's able to get a full combo and push me into turret if your good enough.He can just stop my engage completely by using W and push me away as well.His ult as well can get rid of the charm and cc and then use his combo to destroy me so be careful when you first pick!!.
Thresh
Thresh Is considered Major though I would put him in Extreme. Thresh is one of the few champs that can completely shut down my whole mobility if he hooks me out of W and then E's me away from my shield.If you get interruped before you reach your target then it goes on cooldown making you absolutely useless until you get your cooldowns back.So the resolution is just hold your abilities and make sure you dodge thresh Q with either Rakan W or E which is easier in that instance.
Zyra
Because of her burst capability if I were to miss my W and she roots me with her E then I would most likely get one shot it before the root finishes.This gets more true as time progresses and she have more AP.
Lulu
Her poke early and ability to make you useless by either ulting my target or using w with me makes me unable to do things my way.
Janna
Janna are good at keeping people off there ADC. Using stuff like Q or R can help remove my CC on my target.This gets more annoying as the Janna gets better.
Bard
The only thing with Bard that can get annoying is his Q stun when I W in. If he times it right he can stop my W and get me stun in the middle of wave taking a lot of damage.
Sona
Her ult can be annoying because of the long cc and her early pokes makes it hard for you to engage.
Xayah
Self explanatory. His E range increases making his escapes and engage insane, the recall option with these two champions can save you time, gold, and XP. Finally whenever Xayah uses her W it increases both there attack speed making it one of the strongest level 1 champs to be against bot lane. One thing that will be repetitive to mention is the Zeke's Convergence on all the ADC. Every ADC benefits so much from the extra damage from Zeke Convergence and so do you! Your slow makes you more annoying because even after your done your cc just from you being around them, you slow them so much that it would be very difficult for them to escape.
Lucian
Lucian's amazing with you because of his initiation with his E making it easier for you to hop on him and land your W and get amazing engages.
Ezreal
Same goes for Ezreal with you. His initiation with his E making it easier for you to hop on him and land your w and get amazing engages.
Tristana
Tristana has the similar reason where with her W jump she can give you really good angles to land good engages on the enemy team.
Draven
Draven is a very aggressive ADC with his W move speed increase it makes it easier for you to engage with his E and W combo.
Aphelios
The versatility of Aphelios give many options for cc and easy engages to Rakan. For example the Severum weapon and the Gravitum. The Severum movement speed helps with engages and the Gravitum makes it easier to land your W.
Caitlyn
Caitlyn has synergy with Rakan because of her trap. If you land your W then Caitlyn can put a trap directly below the champion allowing her to get the damage and the cc for even longer.
Twitch
Twitch is amazing because of his Q. He can sneak in desired positions allowing you to get good engage.
Kai'Sa
Kaisa with her R and her E gap closer help you get good angles for your W.
Kalista
Kalista with her ult and with her kiting potential makes gap closing easy for Rakan and engaging.
Jhin
Jhin has good synergy with Rakan's W and his own W.Snaring the enemy champ for longer and then following up with an ult can be a lot of damage.
Ashe
Ashe with her ult cc is the only reason why its a violable.
Jinx
jinx passive allows that extra move speed be useful for engages for you.
Miss Fortune
Miss Fortune currently a pretty good ADC but her kit is only useful for Rakan because of her e slow and ult combo.Really good combos can be done with these two.
Sivir
Sivir Is a good champion as well, the ultimate always helps with move speed so more interesting combos.
Vayne
Vayne is another good champion but you tend to let her do her own kiting which can be harder to do your own combos since They won't always move forward.
Varus
Especially with lethality Varus builds, its been harder to engage with Varus other then his ult engage since they always stay back and spamming Q. So I would rank him the same as Kogmaw in terms of mobility.
Kog'Maw
Out of all the ADC, Kogmaw has the least synergy just because hes the ADC that kites and does the least amount of movement speed compared to other ADC.He does have his slow but Rakan much prefers ADC that are more mobile.
Yasuo
Yasuo is very underrated and should be played more often. I get my bottom laner who only play mid's to always go Yasuo and the combos are limitless.This can be played mid or bot lane.
Orianna
If Orianna ball is on you and you get many people in a combo the ult will make them disappear and is an amazing way to get a wombo combo.
Gnar
Gnar synergies so well with Rakan. The wombo combo potential with Gnar rage, the jump on Rakan then Rakan using E to look for the engage . Gnar q's slowing and W giving him movement speed. He can help Rakan close gaps to essential target and provide good CC.

Hello, My name is TheGreatHazam. I am currently as of June 07, 2020, a Diamond 2 Rakan OTP (One Trick Pony) and Streamer. I have been applying this games since the late season 2 and out of all the champs I played I just love Rakan's capabilities and engage utility potential. You can follow me on https://www.twitch.tv/thegreathazam where I majorly play League of Legends and Rakan in Rank. In terms of credibility and why should you consider looking at my guide, I am currently the 1st place for Rakan enthusiast in NA op.gg.
This Guide will need A LOT MORE INFO but comment down below if there something in detail that you would want in particular that I should mention in these chapters.
