Hi there! I am Suicidal Emoji, and this is my Support Rakan guide. I worked hard to make this guide the best I could, and I would appreciate any and all feedback that you guys may provide.I believe Rakan is a fantastic champion, and he is by far the most fun - because your role is to disrupt and irritate the enemy team as much as possible, especially with your ultimate, The Quickness. Without further ado, I present to you, my first ever guide, my Rakan guide. I put a fair amount of effort into this guide, so I do implore you to reconsider any downvotes pending the actual trial and testing of my guide that I imagine you are planning to do.I am still learning how to make guides, so I do apologise for any mishaps.

Pros + Ranged Lifesteal with Gleaming Quill + Good Knock up with Grand Entrance + High Mobility with both Grand Entrance and Battle Dance + Fantastic crowd control with The Quickness + Passive Fey Feathers increases survivability + Barely winning trades is your forte

Cons - Squishy without your abilities - Poor laning phase - Once you're in, it's hard to get out. - Easy to counter - Only viable as a support - Long ability cooldowns in early game

With Rakan there are several ways to dance around, but for this guide I am saying we want 0/18/12 , Windspeaker's Blessing , Insight , Explorer and Meditation . If you were elsewhere on the map, Thunderlord's Decree is the obvious choice. But you are not, and you are supporting. Thus I have not chosen Thunderlord's Decree .

• Greater Quintessence of Armor: With these, Rakan is tankier than most supports in the game, and can handle the damage of Miss Fortune and Caitlyn in the early game. It softens his nasty levels 1-4.
  
• Greater Mark of Attack Damage: With this build, you will notice no Ability Power runes because that could very easily result in stolen kills. You want the AD marks because it adds a little bit of damage for when your abilities are on cooldown. This, again, helps with the early game slump Rakan faces.
  
• Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: Supports often have a chunk of AP that you want to negate.
  
• Greater Seal of Armor: More armor! Because otherwise you'd be a sitting duck. Better to fly a bit first.

Flash: Is a great Get Out of Jail Free card, or to jump and Grand Entrance into the enemy.

Exhaust: Slows BOTH movement speed and attack speed. I use it to slow the attack speed of something like a Tristana to help cheese the hell out of the enemy. Better to use it to win the trade than to slow down the enemy so you can escape after your ally died.

Ignite: The only other option. Useful, but very easy to steal a kill with. Personally I'm not a fan because it feels like it belongs in the midlane. But it wins fights, I would use it versus something like a Soraka ONLY when you are going to all-in her. The less power her damn heals have, the better.

• Fey Feathers: This passive keeps Rakan from taking too much damage. It pops a shield every 30 seconds. Referred to sometimes as "The better version of Malphite passive".
  
• Gleaming Quill (Q): This skill shot hits the first thing it touches and deals damage. If it hits a champion or a big jungle monster (Dragon or Rift Herald, for example) The damage it does returns to Rakan. It then heals If Rakan touches of an allied champ, healing both Rakan and the ally for the amount.
  
• grand Grand Entrance (W): Rakan dives underneath the selected area and knocks up all enemies above him. Useful for initiating teamfights or just trades.
  
• Battle Dance (E): Rakan jumps to an ally, shielding them. It can be recast at no cast within a short time-frame. Range is increased when with Xayah.
  
• The Quickness (R): Rakan jumps in the air (BEAUTIFULLY) and proceeds to charm any enemies he touches off of. The ultimate lasts a while, but the charms do not, and once they are hit once they will not be hit again with the charm. Make it count.

We want to max out Grand Entrance because it is our main damage dealer. Then Battle Dance as it allows you to keep your adc alive. We level up Gleaming Quill last because it is a skill shot that is not worth the points until later on. You'll notice that Battle Dance is the first thing I put a point into, because the leash you give your jungler is more effective when he is shielded for the first two hits.

Certain ADC's are a bad idea to team up with as Rakan because they do not synergise well at all. Let's get into it.
Twitch. Not only is he incredibly strong right now, but his ability to hide means you can engage very easily on the enemy by using Battle Dance on him followed by Grand Entrance.

Kalista. Kalista is widely regarded as a weak ADC, but I truly believe that she is fantastic. Her ult synergises with your entire kit so amazingly well. Play with her a few times, and you'll come to learn that played right, her ult is devastating.

Xayah. Obviously fantastic, as simply being with her buffs your Battle Dance. Very enjoyable combo, and if she is a good Xayah you can crush the enemy team with ease. Care not to use your ults together, rather than one after the other, as the aim is to keep her alive so she can do as much damage as possible.

Miss Fortune.Her early game damage from Double Up is impressive. Your Grand Entrance synergises beautifully with her Make it Rain, and your ult can grab her a nifty triple kill with ease. She has no escapes, however, so protect her.

Jhin. While it is a good synergy, Jhin would prefer you could peel more for him or slow his enemies down while he reloads. You do well however when he lands his Deadly Flourish, and your charm makes it easier for him to land his ult.

Caitlyn. Her traps are useful, but anyone who is caught in one will get headshot by her so you can guarantee that they will back off. Her ult does not synergise with yours at all, and even though she is incredibly strong right now, you are almost useless to her in the laning phase because she does not need your knock ups to get in range. She is Tier 1 only because of how strong she is in the cureent meta.

Draven. Draven is very strong right now, so it would seem that he fares well with Rakan on his side. Realistically, Draven does not need Rakan in the early game because every Draven will focus on their stacks. This works well with Rakan, because your early game is weak and you need to wait a few levels to be relevant. His Stand Aside knocks enemies aside and if you time it right, it can be end-game for them.

Tristana. Tristana is an unusual champ in that you can either do very, very well, or disgraceful. Fortunately, her Rocket Jump is fantastic to get her where you need her to be once you attacked with Grand Entrance. Her ult is the opposite of beneficial, as most Tristana players use it to get a big hefty Tryndamere ofF them, whereas you need it to be directed towards you so you can Grand Entrance them. Can be brilliant, usually just okay.

Varus. His ult is why he is Level 1 Tier. His range on his Piercing Arrow is massive, he simply does not need you to initiate. He would rather you were a poke champion like Sona or Nami to catch out immobile champions so he can stay far back. However, your ults synergise brilliantly as it locks down a chain of enemies, precisely what you need to charm them.
