Rakan gets a lot of value from Guardian since he is a great protector. Utilize both your E and Guardian in sync.

Win Conditions
- Walk up to the enemy and try to engage, but before pulling the trigger and using your W, try and bait out their dash. If it’s down, go for the all in.
- Rakan is really good at roaming from base. Pick up a Control Ward and look to roam to the mid lane before returning back to your own lane. If you can’t gank, at least you can place your ward in the river.
- Keep vision around the Baron and the Dragon to know where the enemy is on the map. Look to engage if you spot an isolated target.
Weak Against
- Brand: In this lane you have to avoid his W and play around his passive.
- Morgana: Her Q roots you for a long time, her E mitigates your engages.
- Rell: She will literally make you stop moving, try to play around her W and try to punish her if possible.

Strong Against
- Yuumi: You need to all in the Yuumi the second the disattaches and get a good trade on her.
- Ashe: Ashe has no mobility, which allows you to get an easy all in on her.
- Twitch: Twitch won't really be able to poke you down as much as if he misteps you just all in him.

Game Strategy
- Early Game: The only thing you care about is mobility. If either the support or ADC don't have mobility, that's the one you focus since you can land your W easily. Your ultimate is one of the main reasons why your champion is powerful, make sure to abuse that to turn fights around or get free kills.
- Mid Game: Swap with your midlaner after the first bot turret is taken. Stay with your ADC as long as you need to and then set up vision in the map. Your charm with W make tower dives easy, especially since you can E away to your teammates to de-aggro turrets.
- Late Game: Pretty much the same thing goes for late game as well, although keeping the enemies busy or getting a good engage can definitely be more fruitful if you don't need to peel your carry. Be careful to not go too deep to clear and put vision since if you end up getting picked you are going to be dead for a long time.
