Rek'sai Dominating

Avios1·Dec 13, 2014·2 votes·767 views

She has been dominating games. her power to 1v1 people and counter-jungle is too strong to compete with. Her E does more true damage than ignite and almost half of Darius's ulti with max stacks, her Q allows her to outfarm anyone and clear camps quickly so that she only has to stay there for 10 seconds tops mid-game, and she can completely annihilate anyone who attempts to counter-jungle. She can knock up the whole enemy team in a moderate radius, and she is banned nearly every ranked game. Would you rioteers be able to somehow nerf her a bit? I know people love her when she came out, but she makes games no fun playing with or against, except for the people playing Rek'sai.

Honestly, Rek'Sai has a fairly weak late game, her early-mid game strength could be compared to Lee Sin, and Udyr can clear almost as fast as she can. Imo, shes the most balanced champion they've released recently, in the way that shes not op nor is she underpowered.

She is banned because team's do not want a new champion to be picked on their side. She is not banned because she is OP. Rek'Sai is rather balanced. There are a few bugs though that make Rek'Sai immune to certain ults. I haven't looked into it or wanted to try it but that may be a reason why as well. Just wanted to say that she probably isn't banned because she is OP. In fact its your skill level that needs to be questioned.

I haven't yet seen her do so well as to specifically carry her or her team to victory.

I've been playing her a lot. I haven't singlehandedly carried any game, but I've been one of the carries most games. I have to agree with the other poster as well - she falls off REALLY hard in the late game. She's powerful in the mid game, but doesn't do enough damage nor is she tanky enough to really do much in the late game. I mean, she's been USEFUL in the late game, but those kills stop coming in pretty quickly.

Yep, I've had exactly the same experiences with her. One of my buddies has been playing her non stop, and I could almost draw a specific line in every game where he stops getting kills and starts just being an objective controller, no matter how fed he may have gotten prior to that point.

She is really weak early games, but mid and late is good

Dominating? LOL. Since when? I just had a game, that we won, sadly, but the rek'sai we had went 0/9... worst jungler I've had in forever. And even better was that it was a Darius killing her most of the game.

Just yesterday I was seeing thread upon thread calling her trash...wonder what changed...

I agree. I think that Riot releases champs that are stronger so people buy them. But she has mobility at a time when mobility is really strong, she counter junglers really well at a time where the jungle leaves the jungler at low health, so she can just sit and pick them off, and she is strong as tits in the mid game where most games are won.
