I understand the Rek'Sai nerfs from a competitive stand point but I can't help but wonder

Is Rek'Sai really unhealthy for the game, both competitively and in solo queue? She's certainly not an issue in solo queue, I've never heard anyone really complain about her in solo queue. I certainly haven't.

But even in competitive, is she really that much of a problem? Consider what you ask of these junglers in competitive play. Aside from farm heavy junglers who can simultaneously apply tons of pressure on the map (Nidalee), most junglers surrender a lot of their farm and Exp to their teams. Rek'Sai is one of the few junglers who functions decently without gold because of her tremor senses and ult, giving her a ton of power in an organized setting. Can she be blamed for that? The game barely allows diversity in the jungle pool in competitive play and I'm not see butchering a champion to open up room for more junglers is a good idea, especially when the champion has really healthy gameplay.

I understand Rek'Sai and Gragas are both receiving pretty substantial nerfs but if I'm being honest, Gragas's gameplay isn't nearly as healthy as Reksais gameplay is. His ult can win games alone, he's innately one of the tankiest champions in the game while having the ability to solo kill squishies at all points in the game without ever buying a single damage item. Through all of this, he can actually clear both the jungle and lanes very well. His highs are incredibly high and his lows aren't really that low minus a bad ultimate, but considering the rest of his kit that's not a bad trade off. Reksais lows aren't terribly low either but her highs aren't overbearingly high like many junglers are.

You should really be looking at designing more junglers to function like Rek'Sai where they are consistently good but never overbearing and so game changing just by existing that when they become decent, they become that overwhelming force where you feel you can do little to effectively combat them - good examples of this are junglers like Hecarim and Lee Sin.

I ge it from a spectator standpoint and opening diversity in the jungler pool for worlds but I'm really turned off to this game by these nerfs, I think Rek'Sai is by far the healthiest Meta jungler this game has ever seen. Your inability to fix the jungle (which you've improved each season admttedly) and some of the disastrous jungler kits that dominate it for months at a time (Elise, Gragas, Lee Sin and Jarvan) and crowd everything else out while being unhealthy designs, i think it's totally unfair to punish a healthy design like Rek'Sai for that. And before you flip out, I don't think champs like Lee, Elise and J4 are even good at the moment because I don't think they are but when they are good, they have some of the most oppressive and overwhelming kits of any jungler in this game and they are examples of what junglers shouldn't be.

In short, you should be trying to make the jungler function around kits like Reksais and have her set the bar for what a healthy jungler is. I know she has tons of power in competitive and she does present some balance issues in that regard but it pales in comparison to the issues that other long time jungle champs in the past have done to this game. Don't kill Rek'Sai, actually balance your champions kits.
