Rek'Sai's Ultimate is underwhelming for such a great champ
Rek'Sai seems like such a great champion in practice, with the unique tunnel/burrow mechanic and her scary ultimate.
Except her ultimate isn't scary. At all.
The problem is that you have to target a tunnel to go anywhere. This becomes a problem when you have played more than one game with Rek'Sai. How are you supposed to initiate or gank with this ultimate at all? The enemy knows exactly where your tunnels are if your tunnels are in any position that could be used for a gank, and can step on them without any harm. What are you going to do, ult on them when they step on the tunnel? Good joke, your ultimate has a 1.5 second cast time that tells any enemy that you are heading towards them so they can retreat before you even start heading towards them. They have slow reaction times? Don't worry, they will usually have a movement ability that will completely negate your ultimate.
The only use for Rek'Sai I could find is travelling to Dragon/Baron (depending on what side you are so you can set your tunnel safely behind) to be able to contest easily or having the ability to teleport to top/mid/bot entrance quickly. Tunnels in the jungle are worthless (in the context of the ultimate) because they give no vision even when the enemy is standing on them so you can't quickly teleport to an invader.
Riot, what was your vision for this ultimate? I think the mechanics of it should be adjusted a little (either give Tunnels an invulnerability period of say, 2 minutes or maybe give Rek'Sai an invisibility period of 2 seconds after teleporting to a tunnel to give her time to position to Unburrow on an unsuspecting enemy. She's underground!).
Thanks!

Top (not sure how well he'd fair top though)
And any adc/apc with global wombo or running TP
