I'm a Rakan OTP & I have been stuck in silver for a long while mainly due to my skill, I'm not ashamed of it or anything because it's my skill level but i've been wanting to improve so I can play with my friend who mains ADC more without throwing so i'll appreciate any tips.
The thing I struggle with the most is mainly engaging, especially early on in laning phase. I'm not good at engaging early or properly positioning in a way to where my ADC can get good value. I try to sit upfront or in a bush so that my adc can farm fine & then they have to be wary of my W but most of the time it just doesn't work because I just get poked out. I might seem dumb but I genuinely have no idea what to do there, I usually back up and mess up the entire lane state because of it.
Also, what should I do against ADCs who can just poke out my ADC? Like a caitlyn? I'm not too sure what to do there especially against Caitlyn since she can E my W & her traps always mess up my positoning for engages. My laning phase is actual just diabloical on Rakan, like wayy worse than it should be as a OTP.
I just actually suck at engaging and i'd really appreciate any help that I can get. I really wanna try and get better but my lack of game sense is kinda beating me up, like I never know which comps I can be aggressive into for early game or like when I should be engaging. Usually it is when the enemy used their abilities or are out of position but they're always out of my W range when they use their abilities & if they're out of position, it's always just a lost trade anyway.
This is all probably a skill issue ngl but i'd appreciate any advice / tips I could use that could help me get better.
