Rek'sai's Current State

So before I can claim anything about the current state of Rek'sai and how she feels I feel obligated to disclose that https://champion.gg/champion/RekSai/Jungle? says the champion currently has an appropriate %50 win rate. Yet, I feel that the champion could use some tweaks to help with lower elos since she's almost never played. For one, she doesn't have a passive. Two, her ultimate doesn't feel useful at all. I barely use it, because she's so squishy that in teamfights you just get blown up no matter if you build tank. The range on her ultimate feels inappropriately small given the fact that she has to land a q right before. Also, her ultimate misses way too much for a point and click ability. The damage is lackluster on it and doesn't feel right given her playstyle. She's not an assasin, she's a bruiser and always has been. She's at this weird point right now where she's too squishy and doesn't do enough damage alone to 1v1 anybody without items or support from the team. She just feels like a nock-up bot.

I'm yelling at clouds rn, but honestly nobody talks about the champion ever so anybody else have any ideas to make her kit more fun and accepting torwards lower elos?

I feel like Rek'Sai is sleeper OP with the new Hail of Blades.

Buffing her might be risky.

Personally I have played a rather large amount of reksai through the past year and while not being amazing at this game i did manage to climb my butt through silver to gold to play to almost diamond.

Reksai feels in a rather healthy spot at the moment.

Her preferred rune is aftershock and it is especially strong in her kit as you can time the defence steroid far more precisely than most champions I feel.

Strengths in her kit come from a strong early game with good gank and invade potential . She is a champion that essentially has 7 abilities and personally I have always felt her true passive was her tremor sense . In reality you could just swap the two positions on her kit with pretty much no harm to her kit. Since she is a jungler she requires some form of sustain so how else would she survive the jungler as well it has good synergy with revitalize and spirate visage.

I do feel her ultimate could use a pass as the untargetability it provides is the strength of the ability but the damage is certainly far too easy to dodge . Personally I always wished it was kinda a reverse Kayne ult that let you choose the direction you leaped at them from and in my opinion you should be able to flash while mid ult.

She is very strong in higher mmr though which makes low mmr balance a problem especially since early game champions struggle in silver since game length can definitely stretch.

Those are my opinion.

She does need her passive healing nerf reverted. She does feel just ok atm since I play a lot of her but runes, item and jungle nerfs including scuttle has hurt her a touch. She is one of the lowest played champs tho maybe due to learning curve.
