Solo Lane Rek'Sai vs. Melee

Rek'Sai is still very strong after those nerfs.

I played her top lane versus a Renekton. I pretty much outmaneuvered him before lane even started by doing wolves level 1 to get level 2 and potions, then teleported top (hot new freelo strats)... He tried to force a trade with his larger minion wave (thing is I wasn't too close to it), but what happened was I knocked him up during his attempt to engage on me, damaged him and backed off. The point of this thread is melee versus melee that knockup seems kind of BS in lane. It's a piss easy to use, free, uncounterable knockup without too much downtime.

Maybe you can outplay Rek'Sai top with a champ with poke/range ect... but if you're pure melee and she gets ahead you are boned because of her tunnels/ E mobility/ knockup.

It should probably take longer to go into a burrow, and perhaps it should somehow become avoidable to be completely honest. IDK, it feels like there's no counterplay; it's unfair vs. melee champs.
