How to Use Rakan Counter Data
Want to know which lanes give Rakan trouble? These matchup figures are pulled from live ranked Support games, so they reflect actual results rather than tier-list opinion. In the current data, Janna, Shen and Zyra are the matchups where Rakan wins least often. Janna is the hardest of them: Rakan has a 45.3% win rate across 979 recorded games. Going the other way, Rakan does well against Xerath, Zoe and Hwei, which makes them the safer matchups to take.
Every card lists Rakan’s win rate along with the game count behind it. A result based on tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even and Hard labels are assigned from the win rate itself: under 48% is marked Hard, over 52% is marked Easy. They help with a quick read but aren’t a separate statistic. The numbers come from Emerald-and-above ranked games in every region, currently on patch 16.13.1, and update every 48 hours, so they shift as the meta does.
