Who counters Rakan and who Rakan beats

Rakan looks unkillable when he is flying around, but the magic only works if he has room to dance. He is extremely squishy, leans on mana, and his engage is telegraphed: Grand Entrance has a brief windup before the knock up, and the second hop of Battle Dance needs an ally nearby to land on. Lock him down before he can reach you, or punish him in the window after he dives in, and the playmaker becomes a free kill. Long range pokers chip him out of the lane before he ever gets to commit, and hard crowd control that catches him mid leap shuts off his whole kit. When you pick Rakan, you are betting on slick movement and good timing, so respect anyone who can root, hook, or burst him the moment he overextends.
