If that enemy was a champion or epic monster, a small circular area is marked around Rakan.

Melee

Melee champions have a basic attack  range usually within 200 units. A melee attack does not use a projectile to deal damage, therefore not subject to effects that mitigate projectiles, like Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.

Ranged

Ranged champions have a basic attack  range usually beyond 300 units. Many deal damage through projectiles, which are subject to mitigating effects like Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for ranged characters.

Airborne

A unit that is knocked airborne undergoes a forced displacement in a specified direction, to a specific point, or for a set duration at its current location, during which it is also unable to control its movement, declare attacks, cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash.
Airborne is an immobilizing effect.

---

Interrupts:	Interrupts attack windups (excluding uncancellable windups), and all channeled and charged abilities. The accompanying displacement overrides all other previous displacements, including dashes and other airborne effects.
Reduction:	The duration of airborne and its forced movement execution time is unaffected by Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity, displacement immunity, and Dr. Mundo's Goes Where He Pleases.
Removal:	The forced movement that is applied alongside airborne effects cannot be removed by cleanses, which innately disables attacking and moving and can be overridden by dashing, blinking or lunging. Cleansing effects, with the exceptions of Milio's Breath of Life, Cleanse, Mikael's Blessing, and Quicksilver, remove the airborne status effect.

Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced in duration, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.

• The crowd control effect may still be cleansed if it is applied as a debuff separate from the originated ability.

League of Legends content

Charm

A unit that is charmed is forced to move directly toward the Source (the unit that casted the Charm spell) for the duration, during which they're unable to perform issued movement commands, declare attacks, cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash. All charms also apply a slow.
Charm is an immobilizing effect. Forced action effects cannot force the unit to perform an action that is disabled.

---

Interrupts:	Interrupts attack windups (excluding uncancellable windups) and all channeled and charged abilities, as well as overrides previous Forced Action effects.
Reduction:	The duration is affected by Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity and Dr. Mundo's Goes Where He Pleases.
Removal:	Removed by Cleanses or when the Source dies.

Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced in duration, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.

• The crowd control effect may still be cleansed if it is applied as a debuff separate from the originated ability.
