Why can't you cast anything right after Rek'Sai's R

QuantumElement·6/22/2017, 12:19:33 AM·81 votes·3,094 views

Hey, I've been a Rek'Sai 1 trick for around 2 years now with around 900k mastery points. I've also been in contact with many other Rek'Sai mains and we all don't understand why we can't do anything after we R.

Now I know not too many people play this champion so it'll be harder to be heard. However, with Rek'Sai's new kit she has been building more and more ad in games. With this kind of build, every milisecond counts. This brings us to that awkward moment after Rek'Sais ultimate when you can't cast any ability or even use hydra. You're just sitting there after having struck. Assuming you got the kill and no one else is around then its fine i guess. However, most of the time you won't have gotten that guy below 10% hp. That little moment after R is crucial to finishing the job as most of the time you'll get killed off as you sit there like a headless chicken. Why is it like this? Could we get some form of a change?

Thanks

Yeh riot can we please do something about this its actually a lot worst then it sounds, sometimes even movement is impared and for an ultimate that only takes about 10% of other champions life it REALLY doesn't need to have a dmg suspender after the fact (or what ever you want to call that. The point if you need to fix it. This is honestly partially why she is still bad as a champion. By the way I'm in the same boat as quantum as being a rek sai 1 trick having the top 10 most masteries in the world on her. Please save our beloved champ! :"("(

This makes the ult feel incredibly bad. It feels like you absolutely need to execute with it, because otherwise you're SoL. With other Executes like Garen ult, you can ult then AA right after to kill them if you know your damages right. But Rek'Sai has no such options.

(Also, for qualifications, I'm not quite as utterly devoted as these guys, but I'm still over 300k on her)

Agreed. Her ult feels so horrible, that it seems like it's just plain unfinished. It's better now, but goodness if you don't kill the target with your ult, you are 9 times out of 10 flying in(Wonky AF animation and all) to your death.

also fun fact! reksai ult only has 200 units more range than LeeSin Q(which 99% cannot miss and follows it's target to the ends of the earth(1% is flashing at the perfect time))

Just need her to burrow right after his ult... like this u will be able to knocup a ennemy.

this is impossible. there is no such that as a reksai main since they nerfed her. they all were killed off by riot.

I may not like Rek'sai but I have to agree. I have seen a few of her in games some she did good, but others not so good. When she ults if she misses she is dead. The fact that they are trying to make her into a Bruiser/assassin hybrid thing hurts her hard if she misses an ult. It's like they tried to copy WW, but ultimately failed doing it. Even if WW ults and lands or misses he still has the aoe fear to get out and even the small Jump on his Q can help. Also her Vision while burrowed is HORRIBLE. I did not think my red was ever up, because I could never see it when I was near that area, unless I came up. I kinda don't want to waste my Q to see if something is 5m in front of me.

Not a Rek'sai main, but her rework put her right in my wheel house for play style, and I have to say the lockout feels really bad, sort of like the bug Sion used to have that locked him out after landing his stun. You feel kinda stupid and then usually die if the enemy wasn't alone because you get chain CCed unless your team is right with you launching their CC as you blink in.

She feels like she'd be really strong if they just fixed this issue.

I liked Rek'sai when she was built to be a tank. This new ult feels really flow breaking for her kit, and makes her another "click2kill" character

I small fix could be different functionality for burrowed vs unburrowed. Where Burrowed knocks them up and does % current HP, and unburrowed works the same as now(but still needs to be fixed).

Riot needs to revert a lot of the nerfs to her kit that happened before her mini rework, like tremor sense refresh time. That ability is still pretty awful to use.

They also should revert the cd nerf to her E, the part where you made the tunnels, not the refresh rate to using them again.

Her all rework is a huge miss,they want to make her assassin/bruiser but her kit is just terrible for that. They should have reworked her entire kit if they wanted her to become that. Right now her kit is designed around being tanky and control in jungle,they either need to bring back old reksai or rework her kit so she can become assassin if they want her to be that. Also buffing bonus damage scalings is never going to fix her,just stop.

her new ult is honestly terrible. bring back the old one it made more sense and was working properly. I have been playing her a lot in the past year or so and her new ult feels terrible to use. i almsot dont even use it. You just stop moving and half of the times people will just flash away or if its a close fight get the better hand in the 1v1 because for a second youre unable to do anything. plz riot why u do this??? All you did was give her a worse version of warwicks new ulti. completely unoriginal and useless on the champion.

I have an idea. I'm ok with landing on the surface, but how about her ult resets burrow's CD. Make it so that she can instantly reburrow if she wants.

If i had to guess, it is because they don't want you to pop out of the ground, nuke them, then e for 600 true damage immediately.

I tried them as a free to play. I agree, when you ult in it's a death sentence for you and the one you ult
