Rek'Sai suggestion [From Rek main]

Rek'Sai main here, level 7 mastery with 50k pts.

My suggestion is based on this change made in the 6.14 patch notes:

TREMOR SENSE REFRESH PER TARGET 0.75 seconds ⇒ 1.5 seconds

I ask that this is changed to 1 second and the attack speed bonus on her ult removed instead.

Why?

Ever since this change I've had a really difficult time tracking targets, that extra 0.75 seconds is huge.

The attack speed buff on her ult is a bit of a random bonus for hitting level 6 and feels out of place. Plus it means we would have to buy attack speed items to get attack speed.

This would make her a lot less frustrating to use but still keep her in-line in all elo's. Reduced dps for increased utility.

I know 50k points doesn't make me a god but I do well with her every game so I like to think my opinion is valid.

Here's my comment on this. You have a valid argument, although there are some things I believe to be a tad contradictory.

To start off, if Rek'sai does not go tank, a viable route is by taking attack speed with damage and finishing off with tank items. So I believe the ultimate passive is quite necessary because without it, she truely would take a hit as a bruiser.

Secondly, the passive may have been nerfed a decent amount(and I do agree, readjusting to that nerf was not pleasant) but it can still be understood. The information you need is still there, but now the player has to do a little more thinking to decipher the patterns of movement.

And finally, I agree with you on some points, but overall I'm just here to say that her dps still has potential, both in ranked and in normals. It really just depends on how you build her.

I think the attack speed passive from her ult is needed. It already takes a good while to get to max fury when trading and the AS boost is essential since she can't afford to sacrifice defensive items for an AS item. The 6.14 nerf to her passive was unfair in my opinion as she wasn't compensated somewhere else for the loss. Although I'd like to see a buff to her Q damage to buff her overall damage, I think that would put her in the OP camp. Perhaps a small buff to her base defensive stats to help her early jungle clear? She's suppose to be terrifying Void monster after all but she feels extremely squishy...

Awesome thanks for the tips. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'll have to try Rek'Sai with BotRK next time I jungle.
