[2.6a] Rakan Guide - Solo Climbing with Rakan _War is in the dance_

If you're in a matchup where your adc won't be engaged you can wait in a bush in mid or baron lane and gank them. 

 You should only do this if:

You know that your adc won't be engaged

Your baron laner or mid laner is strong at level one, or at least has some crowd control and carry potential

If you know that the enemy laner you're ganking doesn't have a good escape and will waste flash, lose hp or die

If you started Boots of Speed

If you asked your laner in the champion select screen for it. He may think you're trolling and trying to steal his lane. You don't want a tilted teammate in SoloQ

If you don't have all the stuff checked, just don't do it

You won't do anything at level 1, except for disengaging, you'll only engage if the enemy is out of position or if your adc is a Xayah with Deadly Plumage upgraded

At level 2 you can find windows to start small trades with Grand Entrance and Battle Dance

After level 4, try to use your Gleaming Quill as much as possible for sustain.

If you manage to get your enemy's hp low enough you may be able to get a kill at level 5 with your The Quickness

If you see your team needs help during a fight and you know that your adc won't be dived, just go help

You should always roam as Rakan , but when to roam? The brazilian support player Daniel Marcon says:

"Você dá roaming quando você pode"

"You roam when you can"

This means that you should only roam when you have an opportunity to do it

Your adc is farming safe? Roam!

Your jg wants to invade and you're pressuring the lane? Roam!

You recalled, your adc recalled or is farming safe? Roam to baron lane or mid lane and try to catch someone out of position!

You can roam to pressure another lane, to get vision, to get a spell or a kill, to help your jungler.

Three important things to keep in mind:

1 - You don't have to go right back to dragon lane when you recall, try to go through the jungle close to the mid lane or even throught the mid lane, so if you can make any play or if your team makes any play, you're close enough to help them.

2 - Try to always roam with your jungler, he will be your best friend

3 - Don't forget about baron lane. They don't usually expect to be ganked by a support, so you can abuse that and gank whenever you find a window.

Rakan is always good fighting for objectives, but try to advise your team on what objective you'd like to fight, they'll sometimes listen to you.

The order I usually follow is

Infernal Drake > Ocean Drake> Cloud Drake = Rift Herald > Mountain Drake

When fighting for an objective try to use your The Quickness and Grand Entrance on the most people possible and then get back to your team

You can always heal your entire team by using Gleaming Quill in any epic monster, try to use this trick even if not fighting for an objective. Just walk by, use your Gleaming Quill and Battle Dance back to heal your adc and get back to lane

Getting vision is a big part of a support's job, you can't make plays if you don't know where the enemy is

Try to always ward the enemy jungle, ward important bushes during objectives so you'll see any enemy coming, always clear enemy wards and as soon as possible move to gain vision.

Basically try to be a secondary engage if possible, if not, flash engage with your The Quickness and get back to your team.

After using The Quickness , just peel for your carry (and for your team, of course, but your job is to keep your carry alive, only reason you should forget him is if he's so weak that he can't deal significant damage)

Try to be close to your allies, always gain vision, always think if they're safe or not and always try to help your allies that you know may be taking risks. The most common is the adcarry, since he's really squishy. If your adc is safe (wich usually happens if the jg helps him) try to protect your splitpusher.

And when I say help, I mean stick close and out of vision, if someone wants to engage your ally disengage or counterengage them and turn the fight.

Don't tilt, if you're really stressed and tired just take your time. Go drink some water, listen to music, play something else, hug your father. No game is worth your mental health, always remember that.
