Reksai: ulting to destroyed portal

1 Wing··4 votes·774 views

As soon as Reksai ults, she moves directly to her target portal, regardless of if that portal becomes destroyed.

This is somewhat confusing if you destroy a portal and Reksai manages to activate her ult at the moment of destruction. A few seconds later, Reksai just appears next to you, and you have little reason to expect this, because there are no portals near you.

Could there be a feature of highlighting the point Reksai will erupt from, giving some kind of visual indicator, or perhaps making the single portal she's ulting to indestructible--not both halves, just the one single portal--so that it somehow makes sense that she's burrowing to "nothing."

As an aside, I think giving a global audio queue as the only sign of Reksai's ult is a bit overpowered. Other champions get minimap visualizations, and also have graphics on the main screen, for similar activities, and Reksai should not just get to skirt this: she's already really strong, without having a hidden ult.

If you have vision of the tunnel that Rek'sai is ulting to, there is an indicator that she will arrive there, both on the minimap and visually.

Well, I don't think this exists if the tunnel is destroyed.

I know for rek'sai's teammates, they'll see a faint tunnel entrance thing even if it's destroyed. There's no indicator on the minimap though. I've never played against a rek'sai who managed to time that well. Rek'sai's ult will be cancelled if you completely destroy the tunnel before she finishes channeling. there's an animation of about 1.5 second to destroy her tunnel. her ult channels for 1.5 seconds. she'll scream around the 0.75 sec mark, so it seems like she's actually ulting to a destroyed tunnel. (although I'm fairly certain that's not the case.) I think riot can make it more clear by either nerfing her channel time to pantheon level, or make the ult more visible

There's also a great big warning sound.
