If Riot makes Victorious Rek'Sai...

Divine Winds··3 votes·1,651 views

I'm going to dip. Legit. Although the concept is cool, (though very unlikely, since there is already a victorious jungler) it would be pretty scummy to see Riot nerf her to the ground, then make a skin for her. She really needs a skin, but pls not victorious

Yeah but elise is still seen in LCS quite a lot, since she's an over glorified support jungler.

CerealBoxOfDoom1 votes

is rek sai still seen in lcs?

Divine Winds1 votes

Yes she is. A very highly contested pick too

CerealBoxOfDoom1 votes

then why is it only ok when elise gets nerfed and given a skin?

Divine Winds1 votes

I never said it was okay. I'm saying that elise is still pretty relevant, whereas Riot looks as though they are trying to nerf Rek'Sai to the ground.

CerealBoxOfDoom1 votes

Isn't elise proof that something can be nerfed and remain relevant? Didn't people say the same thing about her?

... yeah but she got majorly UNnerfed... before she became relevant again

im still kinda hoping for victorious darius. he was pretty successful at last worlds and overall decent this season at least in solo/dyn que. though sadly didnt see any more professional play.

He was successful at last worlds because he was fucking broken from juggernaut release...

But if I had to guess probably gnar or something silly like that.

he wasnt broken.

they specifically formed teamcomps around darius to carry. what about this is more broken than the typical"protect the adc" teamcomp focused around someone like kog or twitch with invincibility and revive ults to destroy the enemy team for pentakills?

i dont understand this double standart of an adc destroying an entire enemy team with peel and support being fine, but when darius manages to do the same its suddenly not?

the entire point of the rework was to turn darius into an effective carry, if he has the right teamcomp to support him, to get into the enemy team and stay there.

the same is actually true for the other juggernauts aswell.

and dont try to tell me adc have a weakness in being squishy. when theyre getting taric and zilean ulted with a ga in their build, while getting peeled for, this weakness becomes entirely irrelevant. teamcomps like this have been played in pro play as long as i can remember.

literally the only difference is, that this time it was a melee carry instead of a ranged carry.

Darius falls out of play in the LCS because of picks such as Gnar or Ekko who have much better CC and teamfights than Darius. Darius is much better for Solo q or just ranked in general.

1&4: Darius yea, he was broken, because he was pick/ban of 53/73 games or 72% of worlds Gangplank was played or banned 100% of worlds Mordekaiser 68/73 pick/ban YES, most juggernauts were op Skarner was op in his own right but didn't see much play

2&5: because an adc is squishy, they play the role of high damage, with low survivability. darius is supposed to be bulky, tanky and do respectable damage, not be better than an adc in every way and survive 10x longer and have vastly better sustain. Many if not all adc's rely on items for sustain unless a support has a healing move, whereas darius has a low cd insanely overbearing sustain that is self sufficient.

  1. Darius is supposed to be a bruiser, not a carry, they removed his late game falloff and gave him tools to be relevent throughout the game, no matter what he does or doesn't do. You cannot ignore darius, but if it isn't darius that murders everyone, it is the adc you ignored in place of darius. It all comes down to the fact they frontloaded way too much off of him getting a single kill with his ult. How many adc's get resets that do true damage? How many adc's get up to 200 ad for free for a kill, Vayne gets 70 at final rank when they push the abilty, thats fucking 35% as powerful. How many adc's have the ability to heal and still output amazing damage by themselves? Answer: none, because it shouldn't be allowed on an adc, and it shouldn't be allowed on a champion in general. "OOH HE HAS NO MOBILITY" item 3044 summoner 6ing is all the fucker needs and he can catch up.

Riot made a VERY stupid idea to release a whole new set of champ reworks just as worlds was happening, and caused one of the worst upsets in lcs history, and shook the community as a whole pretty damn hard

I ask you watch this, this was NOT A FUCKING team comp of defend the darius, this was darius running at anyone and killing them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJIUNuWTYHo he had 1 offensive item, that amount of fucking damage is stupid, and should never have seen the light of day. He STILL only builds one fucking offensive and all tank, and he STILL is a problem.

There's already a victorious skin for every role, so your reasoning for it being unlikely doesn't really hold up imo.

That said, I'd prefer if rek'sai wasn't the choice for the victorious skin.

Divine Winds1 votes

Me too. Not because I'm a Rek'Sai main and not in Gold (:( sadface) but it makes riot look pretty bad if they keep on nerfing her over and over, then make a skin for her.

TheOnlyJoe2 votes

Victorious skin is usually for the most well performing champion in a season, which well means, that that will be nerfed eventually, it's just how things go sadly Sivir for example, she got quite the heavy nerfs last year

Divine Winds1 votes

Honestly.... Come to think of it, Rek'Sai came in pretty late in the meta. I think it'll be someone like GP or Ekko, or maybe even Nid.

Isn't that the story behind Elise ?

I kinda like the idea of Victorious Rek'Sai. I personally don't think that Riot is nerfing her into the ground either, she was super OP before the nerf, and all the nerf changes is the incentive to max E over W again.

Divine Winds1 votes

They're nerfing her armor and armor/level. And I'm sure if we see play of Rek'Sai in Worlds, Riot will look to nerf her again.

It was confirmed today as Victorious Rek'sai on reddit. I hate it too but that's the way it's gotta be.

Mysticman891 votes

Source?

Source?

Divine Winds1 votes

He didn't confirm it... he just hinted at it, but we can't say for sure what goes on in riot's mind

Grief Me Please1 votes

that doesn't seem confirmed at all. Read it again. "It'll be reksai. I'll use a Teemo flair for a year or something if I'm wrong." "I'll use a Teemo flair for a year or something if I'm wrong." and ofc the rioter replied "tagged for future reference :)" Does this really seem like something someone would say if it is Rek'Sai?

No, It definitely seems like it isn't Rek'Sai and he's tagging it so he can see to make sure he uses the teemo flair.

Ars Arcánum1 votes

lmao holy shit. Reading comprehension is important.

LadyRenly1 votes

I don't care who it is, as long as it isn't Gragas, Ekko or Rek Sai.

Divine Winds1 votes

Apparently Riot confirmed it isn't gragas... according to reddit

RIOT CONFIRM THIS

jodobo1 votes

we need victorouis Cassiopeia and it fits because there is mid laner yet and it also would be cool

Divine Winds1 votes

Morg was actually a mid laner when Riot made the victorious skin... And Cass hasn't really been relevant this meta, until after her rework which was pretty late into the LCS... and she hasn't really seen much LCS play afterwards... I think it could be Ekko or maybe Nid or GP

Grief Me Please1 votes

It's not likely to be Rek'Sai Someone on reddit said that if the V skin weren't Rek'Sai, they would use a teemo flair for a year a rioter replied "Tagged for future reference :)" So it's probably not Rek Right now it's probably between Gangplank or Karma Personally, I hope for Karma [slayer-jinx-wink]
