Rek’Saiiiiiiiiiiiii

Rek’sai is in need of help. For a while now she has been outshined by other junglers who just do everything she does but better. First of all what is rek’sai even supposed to be? She is one the worst fighters in the game, unable to dual anyone in her class 1v1. She’s a horrible tank because she has little to no cc or utility. She’s a bad diver because she’s too damn squishy and has virtually no survivability in a fight. You build her tanky and she does no damage to anyone who isn’t building full damage. Good luck getting to the enemy marksmen or mage without getting kited into the dirt like the animal you are. Her only mobility spell is a slow mid range dash on a 26 base cd that is very easy to avoid. For some reason her whole kit is basically dps but she does less damage than an equally tanky udyr who can annihilate squishies while still being tankier and harder to kill than rek’sai. Hell assassins are harder to kill in a fight. Khazix has a heal, leap with a reset, and two casts of invis. Rek’sai has nothing, and her damage is low with 1 single target cc ability and practically no utility. Her passive is honestly garbo. Compare that to red Kayn’s passive healing him for a lot in combat plus his ult. He is very hard to kill. He can dive like an idiot and still live for a long time. After her 1 person knock up, which is equivalent to udyr’s stun but he can run people down and stun multiple people, she can only contribute to a fight with lack luster dps. She is very combo dependent as well. Once you blow her W+Q+E combo you’re damage is out. You are left with nothing but you’re regular auto attacks which feel awful. Even when your Q comes back up it feels lackluster. Her only utility and the thing that honestly distinguishes her from everyone else is her tremor sense which is neat but mostly doesn’t provide anything for your team to benefit from. It can often not make a difference. So why pick rek’sai when you can pick warwick, shyvana, zac, udyr, yi, xin zhao, kha’zix, kayn, evelynn, skarner, ivern, sejuani, rammus, etc. Literally all of them are more useful. Rek’sai relies heavily on getting ahead and snowballing off of early kills, and even then she still gets out dueled. As a fighter champion she feels very dependent on teammates to be useful. And if you don’t get ahead with rek’sai, be ready to be almost useless for the rest of the game. She needs some serious tweaking because even though she got reworked not too long ago she is in a pretty meh spot right now. I’d hate to see her get swept under the rug and not talked about for a long time because she already received some big changes earlier and because she’s simply an unpopular champion.

TLDR: Rek’sai is a poor fighter, diver, and tank. She depends on her team too much to be useful. Every other jungles is either stronger on their own or more useful to their team. She will likely be left alone because there are other champions in need of much larger work but she still needs to be looked at once again.
