Rek is one of the most fun champs ever made, and one of the worst

Can't tank (not a single tank steroid)
Can't stick (one of the slowest movements in game above ground no slow)
Doesn't have much CC (1 knock up)
Can't go damage (no way to survive getting in range to dps in a dps build)
Can't split (since he can't duel, anyone with teleport just blocks his split push)

Yet he's still kinda fun. But seriously he needs some buffs. Maybe a slow in his bite. Maybe some bonus MR/Armor when burrowed. Maybe make his rage act like a shield. But he needs something.

She.

Um.....fighter playstyle? She is REALLY strong with just a few kills along with some farm, she can run rampant through teams. Not overpowered, but definitely not as underpowered as you believe.

She can stick she is a lot like an assassin but with reliable escapr can build relatively tanky she can split push with ult

She's a specialized jungler/counter-jungler. Kinda like Udyr in that regard except she's got a heal where Udyr has a shield, and tunnels. Lots of tunnels.

Dont build her as a fighter, you will get destroyed everytime.

I personally build her as an assassin. after my ghostblade her unburrowed Q's start to chunk the enemy champions, often enough for you to either finish them off or force them out of the fight with her E.

Can't tank (not a single tank steroid)

Fighter/bruiser, can't have a tank steroid. Meant to build a damage item then proceed tanky. Typical bruiser style.

Can't stick (one of the slowest movements in game above ground no slow)

Again bruiser, meant to have a single weakpoint in being kitable. There are items that can be built to circumvent this. Not to mention underground and with making tunnels she gains significant mobility.

Doesn't have much CC (1 knock up)

Again, bruiser, not tank, no need for a ton of cc.

Can't go damage (no way to survive getting in range to dps in a dps build)

Again, bruiser, build hydra then go tanky, use underground and tunnels to close distances and flank.

Can't split (since he can't duel, anyone with teleport just blocks his split push)

Not sure about this, haven't played her yet, planning on picking her up when I've the IP. I suspect her dueling power is higher than you might think though, but that's just what I've seen. I have to get my hands on her to find out.
