Rek'sai Rework

Your friendly neighborhood void monster, Rek'sai, is getting a rework

Hey, Jukesai here, and I'm a bronzie that plays Rek'sai in her current state as a tank jungler. I'm actually sort of terrified to see change to Rek'sai's kit, since I've been so used to her evolution (as well as her many heartbreaking nerfs) as a champion for so long.

I get that Riot wants to take her back to the days when she had such a deadly impact as a damage dealer, yet I just can't see something like that working out, since I feel as though itemization is the true culprit.

When I try to think of a diving damage dealer (non-tank, non-assassin) only a small handful can come to mind, such as Fiora, Aatrox, Irelia, Tryndamir, master Yi or maybe Yasuo. And even with those few, it is simply too irresistible/dangerous to not build at least 1 or 2 tank items, due to their cheap prices and effectiveness.

The only way that I can see those changes turn out for the better is if they revert some of her nerfs, like the amount of tunnels she makes. 8 is simply too restricting in my opinion (then again I'm bronze so that's just the way I see it), since there is the obvious counterplay to step on them (though if there were a new mechanic introduced that would deny the enemy's ability to break the tunnel right away, say like a 30 second stay timer, I surely wouldn't complain ',;^)

I dunno, I just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for reading this, and I'd really like to hear some other players opinions too.

(Thanks For letting me know about the incorrect board, Riot Board-member, I'm new to the discussion boards)

As an old reksai main, don't play reksai in bronze. She focuses too much on team play where in bronze damage output is more important than vision control. Reksai is a moving tank ward. That's what she's mainly played as in high elo and competitive. The reason she isn't built damage is because #1 her kit in general feels better as a sustained tank #2 if she goes in without tank items and only damage, you're going to be trading 1 for 1 which is shit. Rek'sai just needs some adjustments. She's good where she is.

I want strength of the ages back though. feels bad

Well, I really hope it's for the better considering I have 1.46m mastery points on her atm, would break my heart to see rito ruin Rek'Sai like the nerfs wasn't enough already. I just feel like now is the worst time for a rework considering you have ''op'' champions like Kha'Zix/Rengar among few that simply outclasses Rek'Sai when it comes to diving/damage if that's what rito is aiming for.

But I really and I mean REALLY want a new skin for her, just something to spice her up.
