rakan has 2 forms of cc, and 4 ways of movement, a shield for himself and allies, a heal, and a little damage. I first tried him when he came out and fed a couple games until one game we needed a tank, I fell in love with him that game. he has amazing peel, and a good escape.

Pros of Rakan
a heal
a shield for you and(potentially) 2 others
2 forms of cc
4 forms of movement
easy peeling
an escape
you are not forced to pick to use escape for your engage

Cons of rakan
no damage
mediocre heal and shields
w is delayed

talisman
i use talisman because it synergies with his ult very well, and also you can afk in lane and still get your gold, no need to focus on minions, and potentially push wave too hard because im **** at League.

ninja tabbi
usually the ad carry is an ad and does damage...amirite? ninjah tabbi give auto attack resistance which helps a lot, and ninja tabbi are broken right now

deadmans
move speed, I want to play Rakan on his strengths, trying to maximize his move speed, while giving tank stats, and also armor, for that ad carry I just got **** on in laning by.

i build solari because i pop it in a team fight, my team gets shields, i get assists, its a winwin.

everything else is what ever youre against, build defensive against them.

because i dont know how to work mobafire, just try the build its fun. and remember to ditch your adc and flame her because you didnt protect her! and never use that narnia goat man lookin thing skin :)
