Is Rakan better when played alongside Annie?

There is no ideal companion for Rakan that will 100% of the time be his top teammate. Yet, Annie is a very typical companion for Rakan. By being on the same side as Rakan, she drops their win rate by -0.8% to 49.8%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Rakan and Annie that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Annie has a greater difficulty than Rakan. That means you must be very careful when lining up Annie comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting together, Rakan players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Rakan and Annie together, you probably will not be providing your team a great deal of attack damage. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that fills this gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Annie ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
