Game State of Rek'Sai

This champion has a really original and cool concept but feels and is very lack luster. Once they get out of range they tend to stay out of range because of your lack of CC. Her "Q" (in burrow form) should have some sort of slow in order to be able to chase people down. Not only that but she is extremely vulnerable in burrow form because you can not attack and just get kited all day long. Her damage feels very low and doesn't do much out of burrow form but at the same time does nothing in burrow form (you will understand once you play her).

If she gets some kind of buff in burrow form, some CC, ult passive changed to something else and a little damage increase she would probably be in a much better state.

***Her clear speed is really good with rangers.

She isn't really a face-first champion to what I see. She needs to utilize her burrows to give her map dominance, and her burrow gives a boost in movespeed.

To what I see, she is a heavy utility and scouting champion. She can literally be ANYWHERE on the map and ulti into a teamfight or a gank setup, as well as use her tunnels to bait enemies into a trap by forcing a flash, or escaping using one of her eight tunnels on the map.

Personally, I am planning on using her burrows near Baron and Dragon (Not in the pits) to allow myself to smite-steal at any given moment, then scutter away in burrow form.

Her tunnels are easy to get rid of and her utility is low and scouting is meh since any movements show up.

Her unburrow E is the wonkiest part of her kit, IMO. If they redid it she'd be more attractive.

It's just that it has a 12-second cooldown, which is pretty perfectly in the once-per-encounter zone. If you use it as part of your opening burst, you won't be using it again for the rest of the fight, and that means you won't get the fury bonus... but if you want the fury bonus, you aren't allowed to burrow, which means you're stuck with just Q and autoattacks until you hit 100%. It feels clunky and impossible to use properly.

I don't mind that she's kiteable, since her tunnels let her pick her engagements so freely. It's just that it would be nice to have some in-combat flexibility too.

Once she uses her tunnels that is it. If you miss you are fucked.

She's like Shen, except she doesn't have to have a teammate, just a tunnel. And she doesn't shield a teammate. And she's really slow. And she doesn't have ANY GODDAMN CC. FUCK! Was really excited for her, then played her in PBE. She's basically only good for stealing objectives and split pushing. And not like Shen at all. :(

She can not split push cause she can not 1v1 anyone. Her damage is low. You might as well just play Shen.

That's what I was saying.
