How to win lane as Rakan against Blitzcrank · 54.04% win rate over 2,202 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | A level-1 Rocket Grab threat lets Blitz zone you and dictate the lane. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | At level 2 his Q-E-R all-in can kill your ADC outright, so he's ahead. |
| Level 3 | Rakan | From 3 his long hook cooldown means each whiff gives you a free combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rakan | Through 4-5 you bait and punish Grabs while he waits on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Rakan | Quickness at 6 lets you peel your carry out of any landed hook. |
| First item | Rakan | First-item mobility makes dodging Rocket Grab consistent and punishing. |
| Two+ items | Rakan | Late, your engage-and-peel outclasses his single-target pick threat. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Blitzcrank: a landed Rocket Grab into Power Fist and R burst can outright kill your carry, so you play from behind minions and treat your W dash as a dodge tool, not an engage. Do not walk up to auto into open lane, and never dash in while his Q is available because he can Grab you out of the animation.
