Rek’Sai’s ultimate feels really weak.

For an ultimate, it’s very underpowered. It’s dodge-able by basic dashes, and cucked by heals and shields. On top of that, when it does hit, it hits like an ill-tempered infant. I feel like it should pack more of a punch against near death targets. I know it already has a % missing health bonus but it really doesn’t feel powerful enough with all the counterplay it has. The actual amount of damage it does is pretty low for some reason. At the moment it often fails to kill or even do that much damage to people who are under 20% health, especially anyone with atleast 1 armor item. I think rek’sai could use a bit of a buff anyway so increasing her % missing health damage on her ult even by a little would really make her more reliable. https://i.imgur.com/8Msdny3.png

Sometimes I even forget she's a champion. A shame because she really used to dominate.

Rek sai needs better quality of life buffs more than she needs damage. She's so slow in the game and if you w you lose so much vision you can't even smite a close by enemy you're trying to catch. Add that to one of the longest cooldown dashes in the game that the enemy can stand on for gold, she just feels like too risk for a little reward

I have played hundreds of games of reksai and she is extremely strong if played correctly I am ok with the ult having outplay potential if you could react to it and the damage is pretty good in my opinion . My wish would be that you could choose the direction she leaped at you after she disappeared.

rek'sai is perfectly viable and the reason her ult isn't amazing is cause you can't turn an global utility ult with no damage into a "real" ult when rest of the champions kit is balanced around the ult being utility, for example imagine if TF got a veigar ult instead of his ult.

Shes a fighter, in comparison to Garen, it has 75/100/125 less Base damage, does 8/8/10% less missing health damage but also scales for 185% of her AD value.

The thing is, it is numerically the second strongest execute in the game( discounting Urgot), and again, is targeted even if dodgeable. Riven's requires them to be below 30% health to do equal damage, but doesnt actually deal execution damage but the increased base damage should even it out.

So...

What?

I think they need to change the missing HP thing to Max HP so Rek'Sai can use it as a opener and isnt kinda brow-beat into using it as a finisher literally every time.

Giving an assassin ultimate to a juggernaut / fighter / tank scaling with AD

It's a weak ult because her basic kit is so strong and she effectively has 6 basic abilities. Her previous ult was sorta underwhelming for the same reason

I agree she has a weak ult. But not as weak as Caitlyn 's.
