Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Lulu win the 2v2 clearly: your range advantage with Q rockets keeps you safe from Rakan's engage range, Lulu's W shuts down his W, and your E trap zone punishes any aggressive step from Samira.
Post-6, the lane becomes more dangerous because Rakan's R can bypass your zoning tools — respect the all-in threat and avoid standing in positions where both enemies can reach you simultaneously.

Your best trading pattern is to use Q rockets to poke at max range while Lulu harasses with her Q, forcing Rakan to either take damage or waste his W to close the gap — if he wastes W, you back off and reset.
When Rakan does engage, immediately kite backward with your W slow while Lulu W's him, buying time for your E trap to zone Samira off the follow-up.

Prioritize slow-pushing the wave to build a large cannon minion wave that crashes into their tower — this denies Samira easy melee-range farming and forces Rakan to either stay and miss roam windows or leave Samira alone under pressure.
Avoid letting the wave bounce back to their side of the lane, as that gives Rakan safe engage angles from river or bush.

Do not stand in a straight line with Lulu where Rakan's R can charm both of you simultaneously — spread positioning is critical because Rakan's R is a chain CC that punishes clustered positioning.
Also avoid using your E aggressively to zone when Rakan has W available, as he can dash through it and the trap will not stop his engage.
