How to play it
- Press early
Vel'Koz is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Rakan reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Cut the healing
Rakan sustains — Searing Crown on your first back.
- Don't chase
Rakan escapes faster than you — take farm and towers instead of running.

How to beat Rakan
- Build magic resist like Mercury's Treads or Force of Nature
- Use hard CC before he can dash / blink
- Hard to pin down without CC — don't waste delayed skill-shots
- Buy Quicksilver Sash for tenacity / cleanse
How to play as Vel'Koz
- Poke from max range, Luden's Echo first then Rabadon's Deathcap
