You own the early 2v2: Rakan is a squishy enchanter-engage hybrid with no sustain, and at levels 1-2 your Q (Bone Skewer) hook plus E (Phantom Undertow) dash-stun can burst him before his mobility is online. Punish him whenever his E (Battle Dance) has no allied target to leap to, because then he has no escape. Play the camouflage from W (Ghostwater Dive) to threaten hooks and force him back off the wave.
