His abilities taken apart from the whole aren't that original and that's pretty hard to deny, but you can say that about a lot of abilities really, and what matters is what they all are combined: which is a hypermobile support champion who's part enchanter part vanguard but at the same time basically the support equivalent of an assassin. His W and ult give him strong initiation tools while his passive and E incentivize and enable a squishy enchanter build, with his Q serving to yet solidify his identity as an enchanter with vanguardy tools rather than vice versa as well as keep himself and his ADC topped off between risky plays. Again, he's basically the support equivalent of an assassin, in that his itemization is primarily not defensive and that his gameplay pattern consists of alternately poking and going right in then right out; which is pretty unique IMO, and while every part of his kit does a similar thing to a part of someone else's kit I fail to see how the one and only hypermobile initiating enchanter Rakan isn't a unique, exciting, interesting champion.
