Rek'Sai's Q- Burrowed, A re-examination.

Phife·Dec 13, 2014·3 votes·1,179 views

First off, i want to say ive played a SHIT ton of Rek'sai. Shes really really fun, and im enjoying her alot. But a common problem i get when i do play her is that she cannot stick to a target at all. you're lucky if you get 3 Q attacks off and ive never been able to get a full rage (true damage bite) E off on a target mid fight.

I am sure that those who have been playing her thoroughly can understand when i say that something requires a bit more attention to on her kit. My proposition: Rek'sai Q-Burrowed now grants Rek'Sai a (FLAT) Movement speed bonus when moving towards targets struck by her Beam / laser for 5 seconds( im sure that could be looked at aswell)

I really enjoy playing her but i feel like this one thing is just missing, i keep going in and then if i miss my E by a fraction of a unit i dont get any damage in and end up tanking skill shots for my team :P Those are my ideas / thoughts, what are yours?

I agree. I've only played Rek'Sai about 3 or 4 times and I really enjoy her, I just feel like her Burrowed Q is lacking to. In the pbe tests it used to slow the enemy by a percentage so I was surprised to see that was done away with when she became live because, like you said, it is really hard to stick to anybody. I like your idea and hope they implement it or a variation of your idea in the next patch.

I'm tempted to make a bunch of accounts just to upvote this more.

Nidalee is supposed to be a hunter, and she has a movement speed boost against targets she's marked as well. I understand that her Q is more of a scouting tool than part of her overall damage, but it should do a bit more than reveal enemies and give a measly amount of magic damage poke. It would fit her thematically so well if, after spotting someone, she can chase them down and make them regret not flashing away from that Q. I get that she's a more opportunistic hunter, but right now her opportunities are a bit limited if she lacks enough damage to kill someone before they just walk away.

It seems like only a couple people like it and the rest just downvote and don't leave any sort of comments as to why :P

I only like this idea thematically, since it reminds me of a sonar ping. To be honest, I've had zero trouble closing out kills with her; her W, with its knockup and its movespeed, coupled with her E's blink-like mobility gives her all the sticking power she needs.

That's called a weak spot. Otherwise her early damage and waveclear is REALLY strong. Her tunnel gap-close + knockup is all the CC she gets unless you have red buff or build a Frozen Mallet. Considering people are already raging about her being "op", I doubt they're gonna buff her even a little anytime soon.

she doesnt need sticking power, she has mobility. immense mobility.

INFACT she has the BEST mobility in the entire game. having fun split pushing with her. if u dont do anything dumb its nearly impossible to catch her. she essentially ignores all obstacles/walls with correctly placed tunnels.

Okay, let me explain this to you and anyone else reading this post. FROZEN MALLET IS NOT GOLD EFFICIENT! Im not going to waste 3k+ gold for an item that sucks balls. I prefer gauntlet over anything right now but i still think her Q burrowed is really useless.
