PSA: Playing Rek'Sai top means giving up a ton of utility

I realize she's a new champion and that people want to try her in different lanes, but common sense indicates she was made to jungle. Disregarding everything else, just look at her tunnels and her ult. Her ult lets her go anywhere her tunnels are, and she can place tunnels anywhere as a jungler.

However, as a top laner, which is what I'm seeing, she loses this immensely valuable skill. I had a top laning Rek'Sai tell me that her ult "is just for getting away". Yes, a skill that's interrupted by tower shots and champion damage is made to get away from fights -_-

TL;DR Rek'Sai was made for the jungle. It's what she was made for and does best.

Well you can actually use your ult to get back to lane really really well after going bot lane to gank. You can even leave tunnels in the jungle and what not. Just take Teleport. It works on your Tunnels as well. Basically functions like a Pantheon. I've taken Pantheon top with Teleport and just gone down to bot, took a kill or two and then just went back to lane like nothing happened.

Honestly its not as weak as you make it out to be.

The real problem with her top lane is that she isn't a great duelist early and can be pushed out and out damaged rather easily from what I can tell.
