Let's rev up those Rek'Sai nerfs!

Rek'Sai has the same problem so many new champions have on release; she's unbalanced as hell and the problem goes mostly ignored for a while before they finally see how stupidly broken they really are. She's tanky, one of the most mobile if not the most mobile champion in the game, and she does insane amounts of damage. Her only weakness is CC and if your team doesn't have heavy CC have fun trying to do anything against her, even if she's not fed.

And if you don't believe me that she's stupidly overpowered, just take a look at lolking and check out the "Most banned champion" and "Highest win rate champion" lists. You'll find Rek'sai on top of both of those.

edit Let's keep those downvotes coming, Rek'sai mains! I know you can't play anything that isn't hilariously overpowered, so please, keep trying to silence me because you don't want her nerfed. It's funny to me.

First, league has actually gone past the "champion so gamebreakingly overpowered we have to hotfix them the same day we release them" stage. As such, nerfs come out with the next patch, not "we see rek'sai is a little strong so let's hardcore nerf her right now".

Otherwise, she has no innate tankiness (no, her passive is not tankiness), has all her mobility tied to her tunnels (which are easily destroyed), and has to autoattack with Q 3 times and get full fury before she even approaches normal damage. Yes, her weakness is cc, and if any team has no hard cc you screwed yourself at champ select (yeah, I'm sure you'll win when you can't peel any gapclosing melee or assassin, or actually stop channels/dashes/skills).

Finally, she already has some nerfs on pbe.

her mobility is mediocre. The fixed distance allows you to juke it hard and after she uses that she can't touch you. Kite.

I really wish she couldn't use her tunnel if someone was stepping on it.

first off, rek'sai is not a problematic champion, only reason she is a good jungler right now because she has the sustain to not die --- second off, 48% win ratio champion, must be op--- third off, she is not a problematic champion and she has yet to win when i play against her

Or chill out, wait for her current nerfs to go through, wait for people to realize how to beat her, then realize you're over reacting and need a chill pill.

I haven't had a Rek'Sai in my game in a week. Permabanned.
