Poor poor Rek'Sai

I feel sorry for our resident tunnel snake, she has been repeatedly nerfed, and with good reason as at high levels of play she is godlike thanks to what she brings to the table. Sadly a lot of these nerfs have had very little effect on her usefulness at pro level, what they have done however is made poor Rek'Sai pretty crap at low elos. Personally I have a big problem with this as it feels like I've basically lost one of my favorite champs due to balance issues. Not really sure what should be done about her but still I'm sad to lose one of my favs.

P.S. top lane Rek'Sai was the bomb R.I.P.

Rek'Sai is still a boss. People just don't know how to play her right in low elos. Watch any high tier player and she dominates. And look at the Pros. She has one of the highest pick rates, and one of the highest win rates.

You just can't be afraid to flash engage. That's the #1 reason Reksais fail.

meh I'd argue it also has a lot to do with team play via her utility. Playing without a team she's arguably less effective.

so what? she is a JUNGLER.. not a SUPPORT. she is SUPPOSED to be able to do SOMETHING on her own

She is still effective is she tunnels correctly. Flanking the enemy to engage, Ulting to chase people down who escaped, etc. She is a know-how champ, and a lot of people don't "know-how" to play her effectively. On my other account I play with plats and diamonds on a regular basis. And Rek is a huge threat.

Low elo... you mean when you look at tier list and see it at "tier 2 or tier 1" junglers, but people perfer to look at "god tier" because tier 2 or 1 requires "a little more skill"? (I'm refering to a lot of the tier lists that just lists easy play champions that anyone can play and still win.)

Anyways I feel like Rek'Sai is serverly underrated in lower elo while the new junglers like hecarim... really doesn't deserve to be played in low elo with: I GOING IN... WHERE IS MY TEAM? REPORT TEAM FOR FEEDING - Hecarim 0/16/3 2k16
