Because Rakan support is so boooooriiiing when you have to build tank on him. Normally, you can't get the income to afford the AP items required to bring AP Rakan online. So it's better to just build tank. BUT NO LONGER!!!

Through the power of GOLD GENERATION!! Think about it! What does Rakan normally do? He goes in, right? He combos someone then E's back out! Now what if you got PAID to engage? And none of that ****py "enemies-proccing-your-first-strike-first" ****, not when you have the super cool Rocketbelt Technology© that shoots this giant ****ing fan of rockets in front of you, guaranteeing that you will at least hit the enemies at the same time as they hit you.

And especially since Rakan is Melee, he gets full benefit from first strike! No more gross 70% of bonus damage converted into gold, we going full 100% baby!!!!! Call me Mob the way this build is psycho and going 100 !!

And you're getting up to 450 gold from Treasure Hunter, 300 or more golds worth FREE from Magical Footwear, and up to 30 AP from Ghost Poro. ****'s crazy!!!

This combined with the beautiful beautiful celestial opposition item, giving you 35% damage reduction for 2 seconds upon taking damage! You're unkillable AND you got mad stacks!
