How to beat Milio as Rakan: the early game

Milio edges the early lane - his Q knockback interrupts your W dash and his W campfire heals back your W-Q poke, so you struggle to build a lead and he keeps his ADC safe from your chip. His kick knocks you out of the leap, so make him spend it before you commit. Heal off the chip you land on their carry in between, and keep the dash back ready, because his sustain outlasts anything you can win in a straight poke exchange.
