Ok, when are we going to admit Rek'Sai is a problem?

ridiculous sustain? check

CC that can't be reduced by tenacity? check

high burst damage? check

insane mobility? check

ranged poke? check

Why is it that whenever Riot releases a new champ it's either filled with bugs, overpowered as all hell, or completely useless? Why can they never release a balanced champ?

New champion with high win rate = Easy to learn how to play, not easy to learn how to play against.

Rek'sai requires you to ward in new places to avoid her early ganks. She initiates fast and hard, with burst damage and CC. Her initiation has tons of indicators that it's going to happen, giving her teammates time to position themselves accordingly for the impending knock up.

It seems like if you can avoid the knock up you're home free. A Spell Shield or mobility spell at the right time should save you.

I believe they have some changes on the PBE - anyone have source information?

Played against one last night and she dumpstered me levels 1-6 as Teemo with that early game high dps, but once i hit six and could kite her she was neutered. Late game she fell off hard and we ended up pretty much rofl stomping their team.

Well if you look in challenger winrates over the last month, mordekaiser and urgot should be uber nerfed right?

Nerfs are on the way. Reduced scaling with both burrowed and un-burrowed Q. I feel that while yes Rek'Sai is strong, people are just not taking advantage of her weaknesses and taking note of her strengths. First off she's not a tank, she's a fighter. You should expect that amount of damage from someone of that class. Especially one that is so easily kited. If you get near her you should expect to get shredded apart. Her dash has a very long CD even at max rank and has a set distance and path. If she misses that dash she is never going to get to you.

Edit: Rek'Sai Changes - Queen's Wrath (Q) bonus AD ratio lowered to .3 from .4 Prey Seeker (Burrowed Q) AP ratio lowered to .7 AP from 1.0 AP
