Rek'sai is broken

How is being a strong AD champ at all points in the game on top of high mobility balanced?

I was beating a Rek'sai in top lane and went back for my first buy at 4 kills, within about 5 seconds she not only respawn, but teleported top and took the turret in about 3 seconds from 100-0, with 4 deaths.

She then carried the rest of the game, ended up unkillable with about 4k health and 300 AD, solo'd baron without us even noticing with the outer edges warded up, even with wards across the map there was no telling where to be and she has tools to play against defensive AND offensive play.

This champion is not balanced. Thanks Riot for having to play draft just to ban her in order to play an actual game.

I get the feeling you exaggerate, like a lot. Quite certain a late game Nasus takes more than three seconds to take a turret like that.

Yeah she's definitely overtuned... Once you get the hang of her Rek has a good first clear, good mobility, and high damage even early game. Later she powerfarms like a breeze and stays topped off with the burrow regen. Scales pretty well. Gonna have to wait til Riot is back after the holidays for changes to come.

Take some damage off her Q and give her burrowed Q a slow. There, fixed.

Personally I don't expect to see Rek nerfed, at least not soon. Few people have figured out her playstyle and fewer still actually can use it. For every good rek there are 30 sub-par reks.

I'm curious. Does Queen's Wrath affect turrets?
