Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch.

Rakan Support guide

Rakan support is an engage playmaker built around Grand Entrance (W), Battle Dance (E), and The Quickness (R): dash in with Grand Entrance to knock up nearby enemies, use Battle Dance to fly to an ally and shield them, then close with The Quickness to charm and damage everyone it touches while Fey Feathers (passive) periodically shields him.

The build

Rune page: Guardian, Font of Life, Bone Plating, and Unflinching (Resolve), with Ultimate Hunter and Sixth Sense (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Heal. Skill order opens Grand Entrance (W) at level 1, then maxes Grand Entrance (W) first with Battle Dance (E) second, priority W, E, Q. Starter: two Health Potions, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Zeke's Convergence, Locket of the Iron Solari, Knight's Vow, with Celestial Opposition, Solstice Sleigh, and Shurelya's Battlesong as later options.

Ability mechanics

Grand Entrance (W) dashes Rakan to a location and knocks up nearby enemies on arrival. Battle Dance (E) flies him to an allied champion, granting them a shield, and can be recast for free for a short duration. Gleaming Quill (Q) flings a feather for magic damage and lets him heal allies once it strikes a champion or epic monster. The Quickness (R) grants move speed and charms and damages every enemy it touches.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Senna, Seraphine, Pyke, Lulu, Thresh. Best matchups: Karma, Nami, Nautilus.
