Rek'Sai Tunnel Bug. or Not?

Carl Fredrickson·Dec 15, 2014·1 votes·684 views

Middle of team fight I burrow and try to tunnel out. The tunnel is created however I am still stuck in the middle of the fight.... I can understand not being able to tunnel out if you are CC'd but then you just shouldn't be able to use the ability and it should come available once the CC is over. It pretty much sucks and is useless to just create a tunnel mid fight and get to see its other end at the location of safety...

Also speaking of this... Same game while I was trying to steal their blue I was spotted and while trying to tunnel back out (using an already created tunnel) I could not enter while receiving damage.

I'm guessing the tunnel you were trying to use when you were stealing their blue you had just created to get to said blue buff. If that is the case, there is a window of time you need to wait before you can use a tunnel after creating it and after using it.

Also even when Rek'Sai is tunneling or just burrowed, CC is still applied to her.

The only time she cannot be interrupted is after she channels her ult and begins burrowing towards her destination.

Other than that, she is always vulnerable to cc

The tunnel at blue had waited the allotted amount of time. I just played another game where I couldn't enter a tunnel while taking damage.

As I said before I can understand not being able to use while CC and also I guess I can see being able to be CC'd mid tunnel but if the ability is going to allow you to create the whole tunnel and go on a cooldown at some point it should ensure that you do also complete your travel. If you get knocked up sure maybe you stop in the middle but eventually you continue...

When they released Rek in the Q&A they claimed that no CC could allow form changes (Burrow to Unburrow & vice versa) however this is what happened. I was clearly burrowed, hit E to tunnel out then was CC'd and the tunnel created and I was standing above ground at the starting point of my tunnel unable to use my tunnel because it was just created.

Just played a game.

Janna's ult also forces Rek'Sai to change form from burrowed to unburrowed.

Another update. Howling Gale also forces form change from Burrowed to Unburrowed
