ABOUT ME: What's up guys, my name Trevor but most people know me as Nasteey. In the real world I'm just a 22 year old college graduate trying to make it in the world. Online I'm a challenger player, support main, and content creator trying to grow in the League of Legends community on Twitch and CZcams. I provide in-depth advice including champion guides, key tips and tricks, and coaching just to name a few.

What champion should I make a guide for next?
I'll be picking the champion based on the comments you guys leave on this video!
Any top tier support champ
Pyke would be nice
Leona would help me or rell
RELL please .. :) THANK YOU !
If you can do Kindred Please! or Shaco!
Swain guide so I can learn how to piss on everyone in my elo and climb with the most broken support in the game
please swain guide, hes the only person i have a positive winrate in ranked with
If this gets a lot of likes we might just have to make that happen
Try another ranged/mage support like Seraphine, lux, nami, or brand. Those work similarly to Swain
@@Nasteey yea but I love the range on his W and how unique his pull mechanic is!
I feel like he does so much damage really early
Would love to see a guide into Taric, talking about when to engage, when to play him, how to play into a strong AP Champion, and so on :)
I have a Taric guide from a few seasons ago if you want to check it out but I haven't made an updated guide for Taric yet this season
@@Nasteey TY! Will look for it.
Great guide Nasteey, thanks so much! Rakan is one of my mains but I knew I could learn some things out of your guide anyway, just as always actually. Keep going on :D
I appreciate the kind words!
Been waiting for this!! Thank you!
Would love to see a Rell video!
Happy to help!
Amazing video! These kinds of videos are the reason i subscribed, great work! :)
Happy to help!
Hey Im a rakan main and have been since the release. I enjoy building Locket (and did in the past) especially when I have to offer more peel to my carries rather than just engage if we have either poor follow up or if they have a more diver focused team (say assasins or hecarim and the like). Locket allows much more sustain and lets you tank and peel for longer while using your cooldowns defensively to protect your carries, as well as the active aoe shield of course. Would recommend but tbf I do this more often in flex or clash or when I have a good duo that i know will be useful as long as I can peel for them, otherwise sometimes its better to still go shurelyas and look for picks.
I am main rakan too but i prefer build mandate or shurelya because all his skills scales with ap, and in mid/late game u become real strong. But the worst thing of build him ap is that u jump on enemies but u dont have resistences
Nasteey said if it gets top comment, he'll do it. Help me out!!
Zil Guide Please!!!!
This is true.
I endorse this endeavour. Gettem Popo.
Yoooo that'd be saweet
it's all coming together.
Thank you for this guide!!
Was waiting for this, watched your s10 video of him and love the update
Happy to help!
Such an fantastic Guide!
Ty for this video dude. It was a very informative and straight line to follow now stupid and annoying stuff. Finally someone making vid that is not totally boring and stupid.
Hope you will make more vid of champions. tyvm
I think staff of flowing water should really be the first item as rakan.. he can procc it 3 times and the movement speed feels so good when you do it
Thanks!
Awesome stuff yo!!!
Thanks I appreciate that!
Omg was this ur gameplay in the back ground??? The peeling around 21 mins was nuts I can't belive that EZ survived lol
Awesome guide!
I appreciate that!
Yo I'm d4 atm with Rakan Rell being my main champs this season. I've been watching your content since Yuumi's release.
You mentioned a bit about the Rakan enchanter playstyle with 3 points in Q max E. Would you consider Redemption 2nd instead of Zeke's for the Ability Haste and supportive qualities for that enchanter playstyle or would you still say Zekes is better?
Also for the video you didn't mention the best kind of lane partners for Rakan. Obviously Xayah being one of the best but who else would you say Rakan pairs well with?
The early points in Q are just to help with the lane phase but the playstyle late game is the same which means you want to engage and be tankyish while doing so. This means that Zekes will still be the better option. As for lane partners, Rakan works with anyone really, since he can scale and play safe with passive ADCs or play aggro with aggressive ADCS.
20:06 insane!
Hey, is it okay to change zombie ward for ghost poro in lower ranks, so we can still have ultimate hunter?
It was very helpfull but is Relic still the way to go after the buffs(that maybe come) for Spellthief's Edge?
Would love to see a Rell Video
YES ALWAYS RELIC :D
I agree with relic. If you took spellthief, it forces you to poke the enemy, which can be hard if say, you're working against a cc heavy support or a long range adc and it'll take longer for you to get your wards out. Spellthief is better for longer range supports like seraphine or lux or champions who can poke aggressively like Orianna
I was only half listening for half of the video, not by choice it's just so satisfying to watch his knockout work
Please make a Janna guide! 🥺
I'll be picking the next champion guide from one of the comments so if this comment gets a lot of attention I can definitely do that :)
It is very unconventional and I only do it in norms but going tank rakan with the new tank mythics is pretty fun, I enjoy building frostfire and autoing after I engage to make a slow field and further soft cc the enemy, is really fun! But again it's rather unconventional :D
Bard guide plz. Amzing vídeo btw
I already have a Bard guide from last season if you want to check it out but I haven't made an updated guide for Bard yet in season 11
@@Nasteey I alredy saw the s10 guide. But with the new items his playstyle is different I guess
@@Jose-cv5rw Gotcha. I'll put an updated guide on the to do list!
Waiting for the season 12 rakan guide !
I'm g2 and i've been one tricking rakan since the start of the season, love him, but i struggle a lot against some match-ups. Should I invest time into learning another champ to counter them or should I learn how to play against them as rakan? I'm interested in playing pyke or thresh (to counter long range poke) but they seem very challenging to play. Would love to have your opinion on the matter. Great vid as always!
It's probably best to just avoid blind picking Rakan if you struggle in the counter matchups. Thresh is challenging but a pretty good blind pick if you're interested in picking him up!
@@Nasteey thank you for you answer! I'll make sure to check your guides on thresh
I like to put 2 points to my e then w again on my e and then one last on w so both e and w can have the same cd so I can engage and disengage with safety
I've never heard of that one before I might have to check it out
Honestly even if Rakan ever gets to an F tier, he's so fun I'd play him anyway
For skill order, wouldn't it make sense to alternate putting points in W and E so that their cooldowns are about equal at all times? I mean...its usually not a good idea to engage with W if your E is not available yet.
You typically only alternate maxing abilities if you have one ability that is completely useless. I think of Jhin for this example, since I've seen a lot of people alternate between Q and W. Rakan doesn't have any completely useless abilities so there's no need to alternate. Just max W first.
Anyone noticed the wrong rune Names? :O
Gread guide, i realy like the Matchup / Laning part in it especialy that you say what you have to look out for.
How about a Galio support guide. He can be an eyesore for the enamys and would like to see what you could do with Galio on Support :)
Keep your work up buddy
Oops... I'll have to double check next time before I post :D
What do u think about ap rakan support? For a mythic i get battlesong (or Rocketbelt if we are winning) and after that i get cosmic drive.Rakan scales very well ap so why dont we use it
AP Rakan has really poor win rates. It seems like people only know of it due to people smurfing and making it look good. The standard build is much better.
I think second wind is way better than bone palting vs poke lanes.
What do you think about getting H2O staff second when taking font of life? (since with font of life staff of flowing water procs with every ability)
I think Zekes is simply too good to pass up on. The active is really strong on Rakan and the armor is very important for engaging without dying. Not a bad idea though.
@@Nasteey Zekes is so underwhelming this season, it really doesn’t feel worth it most games (looking at how much damage it actually did at the end of the game).
On another note, you show clips with the old zekes which was his Core item, when now it doesn’t do much other than a bit of damage for ur carry
Support Sett or Pyke guide!!
I'll put those on the to do list :)
Thank you
You're so welcome
you should rly mention banshees veil as an essential item versus zoning CC like Veigar or Poppy, that can fuck up your entire engage in a second and gets you killed.
Banshees is pretty bad on Rakan I wouldn't recommend it
@@Nasteey how do you prevent from being stunlocked by aoe cc then? if you dont know, when you get cced during the animation of your W or E, it gets canceled and u will stay in between your targets absolutely helpless... Almost every mage and tanky support has some sort of this disengage CC that can fk up rakans engage entirely. Besides, the ability haste, hp and mresist stats that are perfectly fit for rakan.
Did you try out the moonstone renewer I find it so good tbh
I think it's best on enchanter supports. Rakan has heals and shields but doesn't play as most enchanter supports do.
I know but giving the time Rakan spend in combat and the ability haste it provides u basically got your W every 4 seconds or so and the healing cooldown in insanely low that it makes him heal good you know, try it out😅😅
Did you give it a try?
@@MohamedTarek-nd3ik mikyx did this season about 2 months ago
What about Ap Rakan as support? I heard it is very strong.
AP Rakan is pretty bad actually. I'd stay away from it as much as you can. It was only good about a year ago but it hasn't been very good since.
Why the other channel's vids stopped tho? I liked them a lot... I personally prefer to watch one of them than a lec or lcs game because I can get more things to my gameplay and get better (no time for whole streams so it's a nice way to see the one game you thought is the best of the day)
They haven't stopped I just don't have any footage to upload at the moment! As soon as I get some good games to upload they'll go on the second channel
Wait wtf? I just got rakan yesterday thanks
Happy to help!
Can I ask why aftershock is not that good? It gives rakan as or and Mr as soon as he immobilizes an enemy and then damages them a bit. After that he can disengage with e (asking to learn)
Armor*
Great question! Guardian is simply more reliable and can be used even when not engaging. Also, as Rakan you're typically getting in and out of fights quickly so a shield will help more than resistance. The stats you get from Aftershock are good for tanks who get in to fights and stay in the middle of fights. Rakan doesn't stay in the middle of fights.
Oh ok I was thinking that while engaging it helps more not to get oneshot but now I see what I was doing wrong... Overstaying... In and out... I will give the champ another shot cause I like the kit and I left him because I wasn't being as valuable as with other Champs so I couldn't climb thanks very helpful as most of your vids
I’ll answer you as a otp rakan. No you’re not wrong, aftershock is really good on rakan, specially this season when you get burst down while engaging. If you’re facing an engage supp in laning phase (leona, naut for example) or if you’re the only engage on your team or if you’re feeling you might die against burst comp.
Guardian can help but 200hp shield is for me less useful than a huge amount of resistances (but is better to peel your carries).
Finally many runes can work on rakan (like electrocute) but in the current meta i think aftershock is usually my go-to.
If you have some questions to ask i’ll be glad to answer it.
@@user-ig1eq3zp1k nah thanks bro you answered... Only question is your elo so I can compare to see if it will work for me too... I'm g3 eune atm
THANK YOU AKDBSNJS
What are good characters to play with Rakan? Like same team
Anything that can follow up when he engages. Draven/Samira/Kaisa etc
Also definitely xayah
Nice guide ty a like play rakan but it’s allmoast impossible in mi opinion too « carry » with ,cose no dommage 🥲🥲🥲
Luckily, you don't need to do damage as Rakan to carry games :)

Nunu support guide when?
in 2031
@@Nasteey You will regret those words in 10 years
You forgot Leona in the counter section
Leona is a counter early game for sure but Rakan wins the matchups late game. She doesn't have the right cc to stop him from engaging or stop him in the middle of an engage.
Religiously go everfrost Rakan, with future market mini boots for secondary, join my church
please no
Rakan combos? you might say a *Rakambo* heh, get it, cuz... Rakan? I'll see myself out.
have you seen this document? what do you say about the points?
Why Guardian sucks on Rakan:
1. Rakan's passive doesn't count as taking damage
2. Huge cooldown comparing to other runes
3. (Poke) In early levels (1-4) there are only few skills that can deal enough damage to proc Guardian (MF Q crit or Caitlyn’s Q 1st target are one of that skills), so until you don’t get hit by one of those then you have no rune
4. If you want to fight lvl 1 with W then you will be too far away to be in Guardian’s range until you start to running but then simple auto attacks won’t be enough to proc it anyway
5. If enemy's attack won't do Guardian's damage threshold with 2 auto attacks then they can just slowly DPS’ing and it won’t be proced until you are about to die
6. Enemies can fool AI by dealing ALMOST enough damage to proc Guardian and then add joke damage like Scorch/Aery/Cheap Shot etc. or just auto attack to deal Guardian's damage threshold (Guardian calculate all damage you get and will proc if you get enough damage within 2.5 sec, which means it can be proced in last 0,5 sec after burst which wasn’t big enough to deal damage threshold by itself and needed like auto attack)
7. Shield skill does count as taking damage so if you use Rakan’s E (or other shield skill) and damage will be big enough to pass threshold then shields will stack which is bad in early since most of the time enemies won’t have enough damage to take whole 2 shields, so at least one is wasted
8. imo runes which you don’t have control are worthless because enemy decide when to use them, if enemies are good enough they can negate all runes like that, similar rune is Bone Plating but this one can be actually 100% useless, Guardian will proc eventually when you are taking lethal damage but it used to block damage when YOU wanted before change
One additional point which I noticed is that if you are leashing your jungle in the beginning of the game , guardian will proc when the red/blue buff starts hitting your jungler if you stand within guardian range to your jungler, leaving you without the guardian shield by the time you start to fight the enemy botlane lv 1
Guardian is the best rune for Rakan if you look at the win rates. People can have their reasoning as to why they think it's bad but at the end of the day if Guardian has the higher win rate than any other option, then there simply isn't any counter argument.
Using Guardian on your jungler while leashing isn't really a bad thing and honestly if you want to save it from procing it's pretty easy to manage.
they nerfed the ms items
so bye bye that build
This video didn't felt like "challenger" guide
It's more like high gold - high diamond guide.
I've seen many games in diamond and above that rakan goes sunfire aegis, or moonstone, or imperial mandate, support items are getting buffed so spellthief's edge gonna be prioritized, no mentioning that your abilities can be interrupted by ANY kind of cc, I've seen players playing with aery keystone, even sometimes with predator especially as rakan mid, man, I genuinely think this not as good as "challenger" guide. It's not as detailed and you just mentioned basics, it's a video made for mobafire not for players who aims to get actually better...
Not much tips (like dobby or donghuap mentions).
But I appreciate your effort and putting this guide for us. I liked the video (literally pressed like) but I'm not gonna hold back criticizing you about this is a weak rakan guide.
Hope you take this into an account and make more detailed and better guides in your next videos.
The word "Challenger' in the guide comes from the fact that I have reached Challenger on multiple occasions throughout the last few seasons all while playing quite a bit of Rakan. Hence, I have "Challenger" knowledge of the champion. As for some of the other pointers you made, I, as a self-proclaimed "Challenger Level Rakan Player", would highly advise stay away from from building those items and taking the runes. The builds and runes I covered in this video will by far benefit you the most. I say this not only based on personal experience, but also based on research and statistics that I have discovered in the process of making this video. Hope this helps clarify things!
lol shut up caner
I think u might be a little confused Rakan is a mid and top champ not a support
Rakan is better ap mid laner loll
It's been a while since AP Rakan mid was meta but that'd be pretty fun to see it come back again :)
rakan is so bad champ
He’s actually really good if u know how to play him
