Rek'Sai Top

DorkunedAuras··1 votes·640 views

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 RekSai 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 Amumu 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.

It was OP for the first 2 patches she was out, now her scaling are too shit to do top lane so you are forced to go cinderhulk jungle if you want to play reksai.

^ What he said. I actually rather enjoyed playing Rek'Sai top the first two patches myself... sigh... not anymore... It can still work, had someone in one of my games have to go top Rek because of a miscommunication and they did pretty well, but they were also up against Lulu, so...

pretty much this.

I played her top when she came out with reasonably well success.

But the repeated damage nerfs were just too much.

Even jungle Rek sai is forced to build 100% tank, you cant even go Warrior for damage, because of how terrible her damage really is.

It can still work, but it is thoroughly meh.

Rek'Sai top is competitively played and viable, at least she was fairly recently. Post-nerfs, too. You're not a trailblazer but don't worry.

While i"m aware that it was played in... Korea was it, I was doing it way before. I'm just saying that this is viable, and that people have to figure out that this is an ok thing to see.

Though I think you missed the last line in the OP

Oh, man. I abused this so hard in norms when she came out. I even won a couple ranked games this way. It's not as good now that tanky top laners and junglers are dominating the meta, though, especially since Rek'Sai doesn't build penetration. Pretty sure this usage was what got her nerfed in the first place; you used to be able to snowball off of anybody in top, roam, and carry the entire game by yourself.

Good times.
