Thoughts on Rek'Sai so far

Overall pretty decent but needs the following to make her slightly better overall. She has a lot more trouble sticking than she honestly should, and some of her kit seems way too restricted.

Slow on Burrowed Q because it feels really lackluster, either that or a lot more damage and an MS increase when you hit someone with it
Higher base MS so that she gets more out of her burrowed form bonus than just being 5 faster than Pantheon/Yi in late late game
Drastically lower CD on her Ultimate, 150 seems way too long early. 80 at rank 3 doesn't seem low enough still.
CDR to actually work with her E. Such a weird bug.

CDR works on e, just a tooltip bug.

Personally she needs more base speed and an actual base damage on E.

if you are going tank, item 3022 item 3267 are really good items to use, merc reduces CC and the extra movespeed after autos with the enchantment makes it hard for them to run from you, dasher can be slightly difficult but if you have a tunnel up its not really an issue, and mallet slows them even if they dash away making it easier to stay on top of them, gives you a little AD and a huge amount of HP for defence.

Not worth the gold honestly for Frozen Mallet. Doesn't give you enough stats for it to matter. Ravenous + Trinity is all you really need in the damage department anyway.

it's not for damage though, and a permaslow auto attack Makes it worth IMHO.

Trinity gives you more or less a similar effect + % MS + AD + AP + Sheen for more or less the same gold

I like your first suggestion, especially the MS increase; reminds me of a sonar ping type deal.

I think her MS is okay. She already has a ton of 'burst' mobility, I don't know if she needs more flat mobility on top of that.

Ult cd...I haven't had problems, but I could see where it could seem restrictive. It is GLOBAL, to be fair, so you can't have it be too short. I think it could be a little bit lower at early ranks though.

Dunno anything about an E bug.
