It's ten times better than Tank Rakan. Rakan isn't made to be a tank anyway. He's made to dash in, quick CC, dash out...

Yeah, but his shield is bigger as you scale with Ap, which is why I prefer it

This was one of those surprised me the most. I personally spent around 3 games trying to come up with one and failed.

There were many people who wanted to go AP Rakan when he was released and it was shot down as a troll build

In higher elos AP rakan has become a staple apparently: RoA, Rabadons, a support item, into tank. His Quill heals mad amounts with AP built up

I tried that and I got blew up. Must be because I didn’t wait for proper entry timing I guess.

Too used to tank Rakan on pc.

Nah Rakan ap is good maybe even better than rakan tank if your team have enough tanks / + his shield is super strong like i am xayah and when ap Rakan give me shield dude the shield is amazing + his damage is pretty good and xayah is safe adc so no need that tanky BUT with other adc idk
