What is Rek'Sai supposed to be?

> When Rek’Sai was released, we positioned her as a member of the Fighter class: a durable, damage-focused melee champion that wants to hunt down prey and finish it off herself. In the months following release, however, our balance work on Rek’Sai de-emphasized her damage threat in favor of her team utility strengths. Her optimal playstyle settled into the Vanguard (offensive tank) space, and that identity mismatch has caused a lot of player frustration. So, when Rek’Sai’s competitive dominance put her on the balance radar, we resolved not to make the same mistake twice. > > Overall, fixing Rek’Sai’s role requires more than being cognizant of where to cut power, and we won’t promise that this’ll be the last time Rek’Sai visits the patch notes. That said, pushing her back toward kill-or-be-killed skirmishes is the first step in the process.

I mean, I guess she can be a tank, but is she as effective as other Vanguards? Don't they require more cc?

Friendly reminder that Reksai has been pretty much p/b status ever since she got introduced to the lcs which was almost 2 years ago

Sounds like you need to git gud at reksai. Just because you suck dick at a champion doesnt mean its underpowered lmao

Unless you have a coordinated team to play around Rek'sai, there is no reason to pick her.

You make the assumption that I play her this season. The few times that I have were so pitiful that she is nothing compared to the champ that carried me last season

She straddles the line of being a vanguard and a diver IMO. Her kit is too good for LCS so she had to be gutted unfortunately.

Non-viable.

In reality, last time I played Rek'sai I build the old Warrior into black cleaver following tank, bruiser build and completely carried the early game. It felt really good to play. I personally still feel this build is better for everything outside of competitive play, but that's just my opinion on it. The titanic build isn't too bad though.
