Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Rakan deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Sona deals primarily magic damage (78.37%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Rakan is superior vision control (ranked 2nd among supports) (versus 14th for Sona), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.0 versus 2.9) suggests they participate more effectively 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 Sona 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.
