Early game (levels 1–5)

Rakan owns the early lane because his W Grand Entrance is a point-blank knock-up you can't side-step without a dash, and he can W-in, auto, and W-out before your Q-E lands. Play far back behind your minions, poke only when his W is on cooldown, and never let him bank a shield off his passive for a free trade.
