How to Beat Rakan as Janna (Support)

The Janna versus Rakan matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Janna deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Rakan has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Rakan, ranking 2nd (versus 9th for Janna) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.8 versus 3.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Janna Support versus Rakan Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Janna player to maintain constant pressure on Rakan, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Janna tips:

  • Eye of the Storm can be used on allied turrets.
  • Quickly firing a Howling Gale without the charge up can be used to heavily disable the other team.
  • Timing Janna's ultimate can push enemies away from a wounded ally or even separate enemies.

Playing Against Rakan

  • Rakan's movement abilities forecast their destination. Try to use this to your advantage.
  • Champions with crowd control that can be applied quickly excel against Rakan.
  • Catching Rakan with no allies around severely inhibits his mobility. Try to find him alone.
