You might as well rework Rek'sai

If you're just going to keep nerfing her because she sees so much competitive play despite all of her nerfs, you might as well rework her. She's not going anywhere, and I'm glad.

I honestly don't even know why she's getting nerfs in the first place. She seems like a safe pick not so much an overpowered pick in competitive play. Plus I havent seen a single rek'sai in the past couple months.

Meteos plays the hell out of her, haven't really been following the other teams besides C9, but I think it would be arrogant to assume that he's the only one who plays her. As for nerfing her, they do this every time they see her still being played. Frst they nerfed her damage, then they nerfed her base health, then they nerfed her healing from passive, then they nerfed the radius of her unburrow's sweetspot, now they're nerfing her Tremor sense's usefulness. Honestly, Thresh is always good no matter what, and you never see him getting nerfed to try and bump him out of competitive play

I remember the unborrow nerf, main reason I started to not play her as much.... I mean I have never seen rek'sai as nerf worthy, maybe when she first came out for balancing, but lately she seems to be in a pretty fair spot. Maybe riot just plays favorites and likes thresh or other champs and whats to keep them in competitive play while other they want to see less of.

She definitely deserved nerfs on release. 95+30% Bonus AD? Times 3? When Ravenous Hydra still did the damage it did? Pfft But there have been many item changes and many changes to how the game works. Rek'sai's main jungle item choices are FAR more expensive than they used to be, and there aren't any really good AD items for her besides Titanic Hydra at the moment. Her main strength is early game pressure and global presence with ult, and I don't think those two aspects of her are too strong.

Item wise she has warrior enchantment or titanic hydra for AD, maybe steraks as well.

Honestly I agree she has strong early ganks and the ult to get places (although I've had games where I don't use it). The most recent stuff just doesn't make sense to nerf though, like tremor sense? That's a big part of her character and atleast in competitive play there are a lot of wards so it really shouldn't be a problem.
