How to Beat Thresh as Rakan (Support)

While statistically Rakan is slightly stronger than Thresh as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. 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, Thresh deals primarily magic damage (72.56%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Rakan is superior vision control (ranked 2nd among supports) (versus 39th for Thresh), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.7 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Rakan Support versus Thresh Support matchup

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