Rek'Sai top seems like a better idea than Jungle..

You're nearly impossible to gank with tunnels everywhere Your ult will work like Shen's where you tp to a lane(ult) to help someone else while having TP as a summoner You can easily help your jungler deny the enemy jungler with tunnels in and out of their jungle. Resourceless, nuff said on that Free hp regain from passive. Decent harass with reliable skill to trade Can splitpush mad fast with her AOE attack and tunnels to avoid being stopped along with that ult to get right back where she was

Considering you can be seen during her burrow I just can't see it helping at all for ganks. "Oh a huge fin is coming toward me, might wanna back up" Not to mention that ult..where would you put the tunnel in a lane? Nowhere you could just as easily bring teleport and actually tp into the lane rather than the tri bush or something

Also teamfights aren't even a question. All she has is a knockup that's so easy to avoid it's crazy. Plus you can be attacked while burrowed. I think Riot intended for this champ to be like nunu. A migraine for the enemy jungler but when it comes to the rest of the enemy team you're not that big of a threat

Her ult is cancelled by any damage taken, Her tunnels are destroyable by stepping on them. She is dang near powerless against ranged, and doesn't really have good skills for trading with melee.

She might turn out to be a strong splitpusher or toplane counterjungler, but I really don't see her being strong in a brawl.

Her ult is cancelled by any damage taken,

A lot of champs have this issue, just not as easy as hers is to cancel, which is why being smart about when and where you use your ult you should be. I mean you won't see a shen ulting to a diff lane in front of a garen with his Q up, right?

Ranged in top lane is nothing new to be annoyed by. Ranged champs are pushing out most people from top lane already. Rito just refuses to do anything about it.

And a splitpusher is what I was trying to label her as. Sorry if I was unclear >.<

She's kinda meh till level 11. A lot of her damage is from her passive attack speed on her R. It's 20/40/60%. She's kind of a late game melee carry.

But as a ganker she contributes an AoE knock uip and she can tunnel into lanes so it's not like she's the easiest to react to.

u forget that she needs to set up tunnels for the ult,so she can't use it to reach other lanes unless she walks there personal to creat a tunnle first. Helping ur jungler counterjungling also isn't as easy, cause ur tunnles are rather easy to destroy+u slso need to get them there in the first place.

She definitly will be a good toplaner vs other melees(she's rather easy to kit so ranged give her a hard time in lane). Her trading potential at close distance, waveclear and sustain are great, her escapepotential is great aswell and having the ult to get back to lane asap helps a good bit too.

However, she's definitly strong as jungler, good sustain, fast clear, extremly high mapmobillity with a good tunnle system, potent counterjungling. The ganks are also not bad, she atleast has a gapcloser+knockup and high burst.

She's overall rather similar to rengar, strong at killing isolated targets and creating presure, awsome duelling, but weak in clashes unless ahead cause of low utillity and beeing easy to kite in most cases(her aoe-damage potential with hydra is massive though).
