How to play
General
- Playing AP Rakan build, your default rush is Stormsurge.
- You can optionally rush Hextech Rocketbelt for reach.
- Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
- Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
Rakan AP specific
- Max Q if you want to play safe, want to poke or can't go in. Otherwise, max W.
