This suggests Neeko's kit specifically counters Rakan's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Unsealed Spellbook + Magical Footwear combination (46.2% win rate) plus optimal itemization Locket of the Iron Solari, Knight's Vow, Zeke's Convergence, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 48.1% to 69.8% - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Rakan's superior warding (0.88 wards/min, 31st among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Outclassed across the board: Neeko leads in both matchup win rate (51.9%) and damage (564 vs 222/min). Rakan must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination.

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Rakan versus Neeko matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Rakan deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Neeko deals primarily magic damage (87.59%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Rakan is superior vision control (ranked 31st among supports) (versus 36th for Neeko), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Rakan player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Neeko player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
