So it' been announced that Rek'Sai's Knockup radius is being reduced by 40. This is huge. Now you will have to be directly under your opponent to catch and CC them. Riot, if you're going to go through with this, please add a small slow to Rek'Sai's burrowed Q, her Prey Seeker, because Rek'Sai is extremely easy to kite, and this nerf will really make it harder for her.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesThis is somewhat mostly a nerf to Tank Rek'sai, as I don't think a Tank build is actually a thing for her.

Except they neutered her Q, both base and ratio.
What the fuck else is she left to do? She builds damage, and she gets punished for it by Riot.

Exactly. She only has one form of CC, and it only lasts one seconds, and that's ONLY if you are directly under the target. It knocks up for less time on the edge of your knockup. Originally, she was supposed to do lots of damage, but you can't build much or any damage now, because of all the nerfs. Honestly, tank Rek'Sai is good I guess, but I'd rather play an ACTUAL tank, like Zac.

It's a nerf to Rek'Sai in general. When you finally get near the enemy, you'll probably never manage to hit them because they're out of range of your knockup.
Malix Farwin1 votesOP i think you are misunderstanding something, the idea is to nerf rek'sai not shift her power around.

I see your point, however Riot stated that the reason they want to reduce her knockup radius was to stop Rek'Sai from so easily knocking up several people at the same time. However, this reduces her ganking potential as a side effect, so I think that they should add a slow to her Prey Seeker so she can still catch people out.
