Due to the removal of the mastery and “old” runes, Rakan really need the tank-ness from “Resolve”; because each tree has a passive stat to it. Resolve is bond to Health. Primary “Resolve” and sub “inspiration” will give +130 HP, other way round will be 145 as well as +20% potion duration, but because the value of “Aftershock” compared to the keystones of the “inspiration” is just simply higher. “Aftershock” provides a good amount of armor and very similar to the old mastery “Colossus”. This really suit Rakans play style; so, when engaging u become harder to burst down and allow you to stay in fights longer, the burst of adaptive damage will also provide you more killing potential.

Next up is “font of life”. This perk is also extremely useful in lane phase, when u “w” in; this will also get proxed. Making your adc heal as they focus the enemy that u cced. This perk will also benefit the “ardent censor” Since when people are hitting the marked enemy; everyone will get a heal which prox the censors attack speed buff. Not only this works with your ult, but items such as randuins omen.

“Conditioning” is just something extra to add in to give bit more sustain to Rakan. Sure, other perks will also benefit Rakan, but this is more simpler and will benefit u in any scenario.

“Revitalize” also works well with “Font of life” your E, Q and items such as redemption. This also have greater effect on low hp allies; so “Font of life” will also have more effects to it.

Now the second tree is a tricky pick because “Sorcery” tree is also good. But “Approach Velocity” Is just too much of a value. “Approach Velocity” gives MS to you as well as your allies. So, whenever an enemy gets caught out or u engage onto them, you or your allies can react and follower quickly and efficiently with the MS. How good is “Approach Velocity”? It has 10% increased MS for 1000 range. It’s also a passive perk which has no CD. Rakan is a mobile champion, this perk will benefit the entire team as to peeling for them and helping them follow up to your combo.

Now the last perk is just between magical boot or biscuit. Pretty much they are same in a way that u save money. But biscuit makes u last longer without backing in lain. You probably back before 10min in lain so I go with biscuit, but boots are also fine.

Sure, “Sorcery” is good; like good perks “The ultimate hat” and the “Transcendence” But, “The ultimate hat” only applies 5% cd to your ult. Let just say its max stack with 15% cd. And if your ulti is 100 seconds, it will just change it to 85 seconds; which is not as useful as in you can’t control when some people is going to get caught out. Even if your ulti was 10 seconds cd, with this is just 8.5 seconds. Pretty much useless I’ll say.

‘But “Transcendence” is So good!” yea I know, it’s good, but its only at 10 min mark. Rakan do have a cd issue “early game”. That’s because you’re stuck in lane phase getting poked down and can’t out value with your e and q by Karma or Sona etc. But at 10 min, u probably already have an item or 2 that gives some cd in a way and, you will also be roaming to and to pressure objectives. Team fights wont last long enough for u to use your w 3 times. Even if u have max cd. Its more of a landing good w and ulti and finish them off fast. Or e back and w to peel of enemy’s since Rakan is a burst champion and doesn’t value as much in long fights.

Rakan support have a very high potential to make plays and carry your team (mid - late). with your r + w and e you can protect and also lead your team. Your e and w gives you alot of mobility, your'll be very hard to get caught.(e ranged dobbed for xayah.) With such mobility, the game pretty much depends on your decision wether to go in or peel back and drag.

Your w the grand entrance give you high mobility and its a aoe hard cc. but it dose not go off instantly, but if u Really need to chase a person down; you can use your w + r combo to instantly cc them for the knock up. Do this at risk because all your cc will be gone and of fight turns out to be longer. u will end up having to retreat. another combo is using your talisman/flash or just to get in a good spot and ulti though as many enemy as you can then w ontop to make a 2-5 man hard cc. this combo will set up wombo combos for your team and create time for people to catch up. when they are out off cc, you have to e to your adc or ad people who relies on attack speed to give them buffs form ardent censor.

Rakans cc mostly lock them in place so any adc who stacks a burst or have aoes works well, such as Xayah (her e prox) ,twitch(stealth in and e to him and twitch can prox his e) kilista(engage with her ult and your wombo then prox her e). for team combs .

Yasuo works extremely well because his w is a really good air-born.
ori ultis
zigs
malphite
kennen
galio
anni
lux... mostly every 1 who has a good ulti cc.

Rakan is a champion thats eazy to start with , but it has a wide range of play skills . With good game interpritations and expereice carring with rakan is faily simple. with a good outplay u can easily lead your team to victory.
