Rek'Sai in the EU LCS; Really?

Watching this video made me cringe. All these players had nothing bad to say about Rek'Sai except for that one moment at 1:11 http://youtu.be/xI0D2qeBdUQ?t=1m11s But that's arguable because you can see Rek'Sai had only and and got caught out by the enemy team.

What is this telling you guys? They're basically saying Rek'Sai is OP and they have no problem with it. Where's the bad aspects of Rek'Sai? Can you name them right off the top of your head as easily as you could with other champions?

Of course, I can't say anything, this is LCS. Players could care less about balance as long as they have similar opportunities to get their hands on the latest, best champions.

They aren't really saying Rek'Sai is OP. I feel like out of all the champions Riot has released recently, Rek'Sai is not only the most balanced but also the least overloaded. She has some clear weaknesses - she lacks good ranged damage (her burrowed Q is more a scouting tool) and her damage isn't actually all that amazing post-nerfs. Her power lies in cross-map mobility and the pressure she applies in counterjungling and ganks. Her teamfight is kind of lackluster.

Doesn't Rek'sai have a negative winrate in a few competitive scenes? She's strong, but after the second batch of nerfs, I don't think she's really a big deal anymore. 1 short form of cc, decent dueling, good presence, and somewhat okay teamfighting(?). She's not that big of a deal imo...

RekSai's damage is pretty low

Down-sides? No effective ranged damage. Its all in or nothing unless she has planned a tunnel nearby.

bad teamfighting, rather easy to kite, bad ultimate once you loose mapcontroll->snowballs hard in BOTH directions. So yes, i can name bad aspects off her as easily if not even better than off other champs.
