My poor that guide was designed with some bad editing sorry :<
Rakan indeed a must for support players who's trying to soloQ in my opinion, something like how Yasuo and such is needed in certain roles, when all of your team is ready for last golden finishing champion, you have to slam your card, Rakan, when you can catch a good synergy with your team, it can be most aggressive support with a proper team or maybe most defensive support that is related to your team's composition, so expanded champion pool is a requirement IMO, nowadays supports are on spotlight, Lulu Janna Karma one of them almost get banned every match 99% so you shall always have another card to play, which Rakan getting even stronger with Xayah as his aa's getting on hit damage and expanded range with Xayah's buffs.
But to be honest, these are just ideas, I don't know depth details about Rakan's actual in-game performance, since I gave a little break to LOL and yet didn't master him to Lvl 7, yet he is nerfed again, but having ability to dash through walls for TOTAL 3-4 times, mobility is in meta nearly years, and it can't be reduced to lower levels by cheap nerfs probably, it won't stop you from taking Rakan when a Xayah appears, isn't it?
however, if you already have your support companion (pika pika) like
For me, you may skip Rakan this time and continue good-old style and be loyal to your current companion, since his role as a support is not easy as some supports, and may be a bit complex for those who does not main support, however it's only an opinion, at least, do whatever you wish.
TL;DR if you are short on both sources and choices for sup and in need of a main for bot lane, go with it if not do not waste your IP for now and you may return later.
Thanks for reading <3
