I didn't even understand its nerf to begin with. "she's too powerful so let's make her linear in build" huh? now she's like, fair to play. you got people who love her and think she's op, but then that's like nobody ever and she's actually underplayed right now anyway.
OK I'll be honestly really what it is, is she has a very low win rate on ARAM map and I just want to be able to build full AP 'sai and just poke for days there :(
Nahui7 votesShe was nerfed because of her toxic playstyle. AP Rek'Sai would max CDR and build pure AP and just be firing sonic Nidalee spears ever 3 seconds.
I don't know if this playstyle ever won games, but it made games unfun when one Q would half a squishy, and she could resourcelessly cast it again a few seconds. And, she was impossible to catch because she'd have lots of movement speed from burrow, Luden's echo, tunnels, and runes/masteries. Plus, run ghost on her and she was just a ridiculous guerilla sniper.
And Rek'Sai isn't underplayed right now. She's the second most contested pick in worlds right now, second only to Elise However her AP build path isn't why, and I wish they would buff it a bit. I also like going AP in aram, but oh well.
lofi n chillhop1 votesI see. I guess I don't NEED the 100% scaling it originally was :P but oh do I miss going AP reksai, super fun to just q-poke and ignore most of her kit. I mean q'ing unborruwed still proc's spell effects or at least it used to, so there was that...
SoMNia3 votesBeing able to "poke for days" without mana is exactly the reason it was nerfed. Being totally safe while you sit back and spam long range AoE magic damage at 100% AP scaling might have been fun for you, but it was seriously unfun for everyone else.
On the other hand, nerfing her AD scaling, her health, AND her CC was just stupid. She should've been allowed to be good at SOMETHING...
Sire Hippington2 voteswell, i'm all for an ap-reksai buff, but not on her ranged Q, 0.7 is enough on unlimited highranged poke on short cd... But pther oarts of her kit could get some ap-scaleings, so the rest of her kit isn't as usless if built ap, which might lead to interesting off builts like rylais tank in summoners.
lofi n chillhop1 votesOOH ya that's a good idea, I guess ap scaling on her healing or her e would be a nice addition. or scaling unburried q. I guess if you could get just one, the healing would make the stay back and poke style just more troll so a bad idea, and on e the way to use it would just be an unintuitive burrowed q and scaling on w same same. but three ap scaled attacks with ungurrowed q would definitely be a nice way to make ap sai worth going, but not be a troll play style. idk.
although all this thinking about rek'sai is making me realise I haven't played her since the buff to cleaver :o clearly I'm doing something wrong. time to learn how to jungle again :3
Verxint2 votesBecause it completely ignored all the play patterns they intended Rek'Sai to have and turned her into a stupid not very useful but really dumb to play against poke bot.
LadyRenly1 votesPlease don't mention ARAM rek sai, that alone makes me regret ever, ever buying her. I don't think I've never felt so useless.

Done letting that POS game mode have any influence on what champions I buy. Complete bullshit how you're allowed to have fun if you roll someone like Blitzcrank or Lux (and the enemy team always has at least 2 of the obnoxious champs for the game mode) but if you roll some shit like Rek'Sai or Skarner or Udyr you are forced to sit there and spend 20 minutes losing and aren't allowed to do anything else.
Go play teambuilder and have fun with a champ that you worked hard to unlock. Don't let's some bullshit casual mode dictate your champion pool, fuck ARAM honestly.

Someone hasn't learned to mark/dash.
Only Play Darius1 votesOK
Let me dash into the middle of the enemy team so I can get instantly blown up.
"Build tank items idiot"
So you admit that I'm not allowed to have fun because of the champion I rolled. I got Vi and even though she isn't a tank I have to build full tank on her because otherwise I will die, I'm not allowed to have fun and build some damage.
Only Play Darius1 votesRek'Sai is one of those ARAM picks so useless you're better off dodging and saving yourself the 20 minutes of no-fun-allowed
Like a dog digging holes in the backyard I swear
Kitten of Evil1 votesIt really did kill her ARAM viability. Now she's on my "always reroll" list.
