How to win lane as Thresh against Rakan · 50.83% win rate over 6,154 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skirmish between two engage supports - skill. |
| Level 2 | Thresh | At 2 you hook Rakan before his W-E mobility comes fully online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 he gains his dodge tools, re-leveling the lane to skill. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 his mobility trades evenly against your hook threat. |
| Level 6 | Rakan | At 6 his unstoppable Quickness charm engage swings fights his way. |
| First item | Even / skill | One item in his elusiveness evens back to skill if he misplays E. |
| Two+ items | Rakan | Late, double-charm and W-E escapes out-class your single hook. |
Level 1 is even, but at 2 you get the jump: Rakan's threat is his W-E combo mobility, and before he has both he's a squishy target for Death Sentence. Land a hook while he only has Grand Entrance and Flay him as he lands to cancel the knock-up, and your ADC gets a free trade or kill. Play for that one window because it closes fast.
