How to win lane as Blitzcrank against Rakan · 49.04% win rate over 2,190 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | Level 1 is yours because Rakan has no hard CC and folds to your grab threat. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | Level 2 stays yours as your grab-Overdrive all-in beats his poke-and-shield kit before his W exists. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out once Grand Entrance gives him a real engage to trade with. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a skill duel of who lands their engage cleaner around cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Rakan | Level 6 tips to Rakan because his AoE charm ult starts fights your single-target ult can't answer. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item it re-levels to skill as your grab pick-potential offsets his mobility playmaking. |
| Two+ items | Rakan | By 2+ items Rakan's multi-target engage and double-dash disengage outclass your lone hook in fights. |
The first two levels are firmly yours. Rakan is one of the weakest early laners: no hard CC until his level-3 W, only Silver Slash poke and a shield to work with, so you threaten Grab freely and can win the level-2 all-in outright. Play aggressive on the first two crashes, zone him off farm with grab range, and try to burn his Flash before his engage tools arrive.
