Alistar is a pretty difficult matchup, he can peel you off really easily, he can stun you if you go for his carry, he can cleanse your ult, and so on.
Rell
Rell is just like Alistar. She stops your engage with ease, but you can't stop hers.
Leona
Leona just counters your engage like nobody other, and she is tanky AF.
Thresh
Thresh is a pain. He can hook you, he can cancel your W AND E, he can trap you and so much more. Definitely one of the hardest matchups.
Sett
Sett is tanky, has great damage, can ruin your engage and engage you efortlessly. A very painful matchup.
Pantheon
Pantheon hits hard, he counters your engage hard and you can't even kill him if he tries to towerdive him.
Morgana
Morgana is extremely difficult to play against in the lane. Her Q is hard to dodge since its massive, and her E counters your engage completely. You have a much bigger presence than her in the late game though.
Blitzcrank
Blitzcrank isn't that threatening for you, you can easily dodge his hook, but there's always a chance he'll hook your ADC instead...
Karma
Karma is really annoying. She has a lot of poke, she can speed up her team, she can root you if you're not careful.
Lulu
Lulu's W is incredibly strong against you, it ruins your entire engage. Her ult, if timed right, can also counter your knock-up.
Braum
Braum is really durable and can stun you if youre not careful. Furthermore, he can peel a decent amount for his ADC.
Bard
Bard can poke you down, but he is fairly squishy and you can dive him rather easily.
Brand
Brand is annoying as hell, but if you focus on dodging and you go in after he wastes his abilities, it's pretty easy.
Swain
Swain is rather tanky and he does have a lot of burst, but his E is very slow and he doesn't have a proper way to counter you if you get on top of him.
Zilean
Zilean can slow you or speed himself up... but that's about it. He really doesn't do much against you, but neither do you, really.
Seraphine
Seraphine can dodge you with the speed of her shield and she is pretty good at poking. Thankfully she's rarely ever gonna root you before you lift her up.
Janna
Janna is free until level 6, since her ult is very strong against you. If you can predict her tornadoes and keep track of her ultimate its a free game.
Senna
Senna is pretty easy to dive, her W can't stop yours and she's squishy. Just watch out and try not to get poked.
Yuumi
Yuumi can't do anything against you. If she tries to jump off her ally and you catch her, she's gonna die.
Lux
Lux is pretty easy if you let her waste her Q before engaging. NEVER engage when she has it up, she will root you when you W.
Nami
Nami is really not that big a deal. Her Q is really slow and her W does basically nothing against you.
Neeko
Neeko is very easy to beat. She is rarely ever in position to hit her empowered E, and she's really squishy. Just don't fall for any of her illlusions and tricks.
Pyke
Pyke is incredibly easy to beat. His Q is bad, his E is extremely slow and he is also squishy as hell.
Nautilus
Nautilus can ruin your entire engage by just AA'ing you. He has a hook also.
Sona
Sona is squishy and your passive blocks her poke. Just try not to miss W because of her speed up.
Soraka
Soraka pokes you hard, heals whoever you engage on, goes fast and stops your engage by silencing you.
Tahm Kench
He can stop your engage AND protect his ADC from it. Try to play more carefully and go after the ADC whenever he wanders off.
Taric
Taric is tanky and can ruin your engage, and in the late game, his ult messes you up hard.
Veigar
He can cage you in and poke you, and he scales lke crazy. You can outplay him if you play smart though.
Vel'Koz
He can poke you like crazy and he stays too far for you to do anything about it.
Xerath
Pokes like crazy and stays too far away.
Zyra
Step on her plants and always be ready to dodge her root. You should let her waste it.
Aphelios
Observe Aphelios's weapons and go in if he has Crescendum and Severum/Infernum (aka white and red/blue)
Ashe
Ashe can slow them down, giving you an easier time knocking them up, but other than that she's mediocre.
Caitlyn
You can set up her E and do substantial damage. Other than that, they really don't synergise well.
Draven
Draven can set up your knockup with his E and burst down the opponents in seconds!
Ezreal
Ezreal is probably the worst ADC for Rakan. He has no follow-up to anything you do and he just lets you die. Only good if you play enchanter.
Jhin
He can W whoever you knock up and then deal a lot of damage on them.
Jinx
Jinx can't follow up on you, except for maybe using her traps to extend the CC.
Kai'Sa
Kai'Sa can go aggressive early, can follow up on your engages, can dash into battle to assist you... There's nothin' this girl can't do!
Kalista
Kalista can keep up with Rakan thanks to her passive. She can also ult you in the middle of the battle for some wombo combos!
Kog'Maw
Kog'Maw can do a lot of damage when you CC your opponents, but is extremely squishy. You can go enchanter for him.
Lucian
Lucian does it all! He can dash and keep up with you and he can burst enemies down.
Miss Fortune
Just R and W near her and she'll shred anyone you catch with her ult.
Samira
Samira can stack her passive fairly easily thanks to your CC and she can go for all-ins, but her nerfs hit her hard.
Sivir
Sivir can't really follow up on you and can't keep you safe. MS from her ult is nice I guess...
Tristana
Tristana has great burst and great mobility! A perfect match!
Twitch
Despite the slow laning phase, they have some pretty good interactions! You can E onto an invisible Twitch and you can combine your ults for massive damage.
Vayne
You can set up her E with your W for free kills and lategame your CC is extremely valuable to her.
Xayah
Xayah is great, you can help her set up her combos and your laning phase is pretty good.
Yasuo
You can go in together and you can help him use his ultimate, but you'll get poked hard.
