Has anyone else encountered the ridiculous insta-death that is a post 6 Yasuo and Rek'sai combo. Lemme knock em up, Oh did you not press r lemme knock em up again... oh nvm they're dead. lets go kill the tank.
Edit: Not raging on the two or implying nerfs required just saying it's a nightmare to fight. Should I close this tunnel hmmm, OH SH** BALLS Annnnd Grey Screen.
Rek'Sai can only pop up the same champion once every ten seconds, and would have used her gapcloser to gank. If yas doesn't ult and kill you the first time, and you stuck around, then you made the conscious decision to stay there and die without support, which is on you mate. Neither one has any CC after the initial engage, and Rek'Sai cannot chase while Tunnel is on cooldown. Wards and threat assessment would have prevented this death.
You can only get knocked up once every 10 seconds from Rek'Sai, and that isn't reduced by CDR.
Blitz's rank 1 power fist is only on a 9 second cooldown and goes down by 1 every level, and is reduced by CDR. Cho'Gath's AoE knockup radius is WAY bigger than Rek'Sai's, that's on a 9 sec cooldown, reduceable by CDR.
But Blitz has to land a pull!" you might say, or, "Cho'Gath can't get close enough to Rupture!" How about Maokai's Arcane Shift: 6 second cooldown, reduced by CDR. Combined with a point-and-click gap-closer that makes the knockup a guarantee.
Other champs with knock ups on cooldowns lower than Rek'Sai's, either after some leveling, a little CDR, or immediately: Singed flip, Thresh Flay, Sion q, Janna tornado, Jarvan dragon strike to standard, Volibear toss, Xin's 3-talon strike.
Why are you specifically pinpointing the synergy with Rek'Sai? Xin is better at it: he's got a 5 second knockup with a cooldown that gets lower with every auto, and a point-and-click gap closer that gets him right to you. At least Rek'Sai's gap closer requires some finesse to get where you want to be properly; you can't just point and click a champ and be underneath them with Rek'Sai.
yeah that is a really fun bot lane combo actually.... rek sai poke all day while yasuo farms up and then lvl 6 fun time
Yasuo is toxic bullshit, this is nothing new.
For Rek, I think if she gets some damage shaved off of her kit or have on hit effects only proc once on her Q, she would be fine.
