Rek'Sai Top
This is first off, NOT a QQ thread, as I've never seen it in game except on the numerous times I've played it. I'm just throwing this idea out as something to think about.
Rek'sai Brings to top lane: Strong lvl 1 AAs through Q Poke through burrowed Q Waveclear Sustain Easy escapes through tunnels in bushes True damage (140 at lvl 2) attacks Knockup Tremor sense to see upcoming ganks in unwarded bushes Impossible to remove from lane between heals, ults, and TPs Almost always has TP advantage because can use ult to return to lane The permanent advantage meta breakers have as the opponent doesn't know how to fight what they're facing
When you look through the features, you realize
makes a strong top laner, and I can tell you through experience that this isn't theoretical, this is fact. This works.
Now, why am I making this thread? It's to make you think. A lot of you see Rek'Sai top and think "this is stupid, Rek'Sai is a jungler, get back in the jungle where you belong", while those that don't get carried by me. Not every champion has to be confined to one role, and one position. Ok sure, Someone like
is not ever, at least in his current state, going to be a top lane AD bruiser. But within reason, most champions can be played in multiple places. It's just a matter of looking at what they can do, and seeing where they can fit. I'm just saying to be open to multiple interpretations of a champion's role and potential.
And please, for fuck's sake, stop kicking me when I queue in team builder.
