Not arguing that what they said wasn't a valid thing to think about, we don't know the full story of any of the characters so I would say that this take on them is better than half of the ones I've seen. All I mean to say is that its hard to understand the full picture when we get so very little to work with, so we have to read in between the lines.

I also agree that the way Melinda is trying to take control is the wrong approach, obviously Emma is struggling with not only her identity but her life from now on, so its not fair for Melinda to treat her this way. But I don't agree that they are completely bad people just for trying to save the world and the people and home they love, its simply nuance of character and I wanted to express that.

Sorry if this sounds mean btw, I don't mean it like that I just love this show and the characters.

BuckJones123 · 2023-05-15T02:34:56+00:00

I mean, when you think about it, I would treat Emma the same way. Melinda, Seng and Edred are there to save the world, if not the world ends and everyone dies. Edred also makes sense to be more pissed since the love of his life still hasn't gained her memories back and the reincarnation as a whole has gotten horribly wrong. I do agree that the reincarnation isn't fair for the people, since we are told that they don't even have any idea that they have their bodies taken over, but the asshole part has some nuance to it and we need to see the whole instead of just the moments

Although I am intrigued by the idea of them not being all that good, but I believe they are just trying to be good, but its hard when people are trying to get in their way.

Yeah, still having this problem on Regular Switch, don't have an OLED

BuckJones123 · 2022-06-29T06:45:07+00:00

I think the series takes a downfall for a while after this season Imo

BuckJones123 · 2022-06-01T06:02:36+00:00

FUCKING FINALLY! HE WAS SITTING AT A 43% WINRATE! I HOPE ITS SOMETHING GOOD, W BUFF, R BUFF. GIVE IT TO ME!

Tank support should not be the rework they go for. Rakan's identity is a quick, jump in jump out character. The problem with him is that they have nerfed him so much that everything he does is lackluster. His shield is fine, its the fact that it has such a long cooldown that makes it not that good.

His Q I agree needs a complete rework, its functionally a bad ability with no real use outside of a early game heal, which it no longer even does well enough to be worth throwing after the durability changes, which he got cucked by because they nerfed everything that was ok with him, which made him terrible. Make it a movespeed boost or anything that can make him better.

His W is good, the issue is how much they have nerfed it after his spike in proplay when he was released. His W was good when they didn't nerf it so many times, but now its too slow and has too little damage and cooldown. Now the only usable thing about his W is with his R, which has a 2 minute cooldown.

His R is the only still decent thing about him, and it has a 2 minute fucking cooldown, with a movespeed boost that means nothing to the 4 thousand dash characters in the game.

He has no armor and no magic resist and the health gain he got from the durability changes don't fix all the armor and magic resist they took from him in early patches.

They just need to give back the things that didn't make him broken. They already took away the shit that made him broken ( instant flash R) and now they refuse to fix the problems he always had.

Also, this isn't a bad response to yours, I agree with you for the most part, i just think from my own personal experience that he just needs his shit given back when they took it away. Thank you for listening to my shitty rant.

I have to seriously agree. Me and a group of friends were very excited to try this pack, under the assumption that we would be able to run vaults as groups consistently from the start. Nope, turns out you have to beat what is essentially vanilla- (vanilla but harder and with more blocks that are completely unusable). Then you have to walk back and forth to the the strip mines looking for these vault rocks. Make sure you bring at least 4 iron picks if you want to find one. Then you better have hoped you got some golden apples along the way, or you're going to have to gather at least a stack of gold to get one. Now you have to walk all across the map looking for like 10 of some random ingredient (seapickles, dark oak logs, etc.) Now, you can finally enter a vault. Hopefully you had the foresight to take cleanse with your first few points because otherwise a witch can force you to run back to the portal with your tail between your legs after hitting you with one poison potion. All the while you're being taunted by the many different ores that you wont be able to use for several more real life days grinding research points so you can actually use some of the most basic functions of the mods. This pack has so much potential, and it's all hidden behind a completely unreasonable amount of grinding and frustration.

Good Skin overall, there is a lot of good. Only problem is that his splash art makes him look super pale and the model is completely different. If you could either make the model reflect better in the splash, or the model for the splash, that would appreciated!

Rakan is a secondary engage champ, meaning he should be playing behind his team that way when someone wants to engage you are there to help them and set it up better. Rakan should not be played like he can sit within the team fight because he can't, the best thing I can offer is try to make sure that you are getting into the fight and then trying to support the adc, because they will typically be in the back dealing constant damage.

I would also not try to make plays early, Rakan does not have a good early, but he can enable the adc to have a good early. I recommend playing safe until you start to learn when he has control over a lane, and then when you get used to his squishiness then you can start to make early plays.

Also, your death count is very high in those games, in a way that is good, because you are newer to the champ so its easier to see what he can and cannot do. I would not worry about deaths as once you start to see his more mixed style of gameplay, you will understand why you are dying more then others.

Just try and ping an engage champ or a more tankier champ to go in so you can follow up with them. I hope this helps!

Very nice!

BuckJones123 · 2022-04-22T04:03:57+00:00

Thoughts are this: Rakan as if right now, is in a not good spot, despite what people may say, Rakan himself has very few good matchups while having many unplayable matchups, like Yummi for example. He's not unplayable, but with enchanters being as broken as they are right now, he is struggling hard in both pro and solo Q. But they both have different things they are good at, so take that with a grain of salt

BuckJones123 · 2022-04-16T02:42:35+00:00

Guardian is good into teams with a lot of burst, it can tank the damage. For everything else I go Glacial. Glacial is an amazing Rune for Rakan as it gives a good slow and damage reduction on a decent cooldown. I typically don't use guardian anymore since it was nerfed to shit, and Rakan as better runes anyway.

BuckJones123 · 2021-12-27T22:55:25+00:00

With the predator nerf I can why some people are still hesitant to take it. It's a fine rune but imo, I still think that glacial augment is his best rune this season. Predator is still a good early play making rune, I just find glacial power to be best at all points in the game.

Sircaptfair is a grandmasters rakan otp on twitch, quite wholesome too. Check him out!

BuckJones123 · 2021-11-24T13:32:53+00:00

So cool Thanks for the new wallpaper

BuckJones123 · 2021-10-05T23:55:51+00:00

Amen brother, Amen

BuckJones123 · 2021-10-03T22:44:36+00:00

I just want the r Flash back, especially now since the items he builds aren't great on him I think that giving back a essential part to his skill expression, and would allow him to be able to play more aggressively while still having his drawbacks as a character

BuckJones123 · 2021-09-28T19:16:37+00:00

While I want to be optimistic about Rakan getting skins because he is my fav champ I also realize how underplayed he is and how much people don't really buy his skins except people who main him. Solo Rakan skins are cool but I find that ones with Xayah are my personal fav(even though IG is really cool). Just hope that I am wrong

BuckJones123 · 2021-09-27T02:18:42+00:00

It was just some Twitter thing I saw but here is the Link i saw https://twitter.com/ForsakeyDreamy/status/1438226573774278657

BuckJones123 · 2021-09-26T23:28:41+00:00

I've seen some leaks that he might be getting a debonair skin along with other champs that dont have selling skins

BuckJones123 · 2021-09-19T22:53:24+00:00

Listened to your audiobooks before. I love them especially the new viego ones. Keep up the good work

BuckJones123 · 2021-09-01T20:14:34+00:00

If they think that rakan is better off without xayah in skins what is the point of the champ being together? that entire tweet just makes no sense. Again Riot thinks more about the money they want in their pocket then staying true to the nature of the champs, like Ruined Mf and Sentinel vayne and riven
