Meddler, few months ago you said that you (Riot) are going to shift Rek'Sai's power.
So what about her? When do you plan to change Rek'Sai from Tank to Warrior? And give her more advantages from building damage items than building tanky items.

Rek'sai's kit will never allow her to be anything other than a tank for as long as she has the ability to teleport to any tunnel on the map, knock-up initiate & have sonar sense. The mechanics of her kit will need to change if they want to shift her identity, which basically calls for a gameplay rework. If Rek'sai can suddenly deal enough damage to kill carries with her current kit she will be back at being 100% pick/ban once again.
Still planning that work. It's been started, has to take lower priority behind pre-season follow up work though (jungle changes for 7.2 right now for example). Can't offer a clear timeframe as a result, certainly not forgotten or iceboxed though.
THIS THIS ALL OF THIS I NEED THIS!
I just want my Xer'Sai back.
player "hey riot what's the deal with this"
riot crickets
Meddler lied? Surprise surprise.
How is Rek'Sai not a warrior. Build cinderhulk and titantic. There's your warrior rek'sai. Even if her damage gets buffed and defense gets lowered, it won't change her buildpath.
Reksai really demonstates how important vision is in pro play. After bilion of nerfs she still was picked just because of knock up and tremor sence. Basically, because of 1 freaking skill out of 4.
