Something for riot to consider while they continually nerf rek.

Why is rek getting picked as a tank over zac.

They're just giving her the Kalista treatment, they don't have time to consider anything reasonable.

IF you look at some of the nerfs they are trying to do something reasonable. Specifically the recent ones on pbe stand out to me.

First off, base armor and armor growth changes are pretty damn huge when looking at the big picture, they took away 4.3 base armor and .35 armor per level.

This is equal to 10.25 armor at level 18, which is really big. I don't have any exact math but overall it will increase the physical damage she takes by roughly 1-5% from all sources.

Second, it doesn't matter how small the change if it's stacked on top of many others.

It's completely unreasonable to repeatedly nerf something patch after patch, we saw the results from Kalista and Azir.

Rek's armor per level nearly matches zac after the nerf. hence why zac was mentioned.

Zac is picked one time in the LCS because Meteos used to main him and there are already complaint threads. God help us all.

If it was a zac thread zac would've been in the title, I bring him up for a reason though.

Because zac engage is unreliable?

pretty sure Zac is top soloQ right now

Rek's dash is slow, and zac has more cc overall, yet rek is the one chosen.

Zac slingshot can be interrupted, that is the whole reasoning. LCS players have better reflexes than average people so Zac keeps getting his engages interrupted and it ends upmaking it unreliable. Rek doesn't have that problem.

Also the reason that rek is picked is his mobility on the jungle, she rotates faster than any other champion, possibly even faster than hecraim
