Rek Sai Is absolute trash to play against. Please balance her at least a little bit.

Note I compare Rek' Sai to Garen because most players think he is overpowered.

Edit: My math was wrong as I did not realize there was Bonus AD and AD. End of Edit.

Rek'Sai legit can kill any champ at start in about 3-4 hits, at level 2 With NO contest, its not even close.(and this stays in for the rest of the match too) Level 4, Unless you have massive CC she will win even 2 v 1.

This is all for just level 2. with a single Long sword. Assume Rek sai leveled Queens Wrath and Furious Bite for the first two skills.

Base attack with Longsword 77.9 (without Longsword is -10 damage) Lets look at Queens Wrath Cooldown of 4 seconds Buffs next attack with additinal 20 + 50% AD (33.95) = 121.85 damage Base at level 2 with Longsword damage 20+50% AD(38.95) = 136.85 damage Buffs attack range to 325. Resets Basic Attacks

Second ability you get is Furious Bite Cooldown of 12 seconds Level one at max fury All in true damage 110 + 170% Bonus AD(132.43) So 242.43 true damage. Target range 250

Compare to Garens ability that every one complains about. Assume A single Longsword as well. 69.2 basic +10 AD Decisive Strike Cooldown 8 seconds 30 + 40%(31.68) AD = 148 damage With 175 range Resets Basic attack

**In a single attack trade off Rek sai deals 379.28 damage From skills +77.9 Basic attack for a total of 457.18 All of which is done in less than a single second & remember 242.43 is done as true damage ** **So in a single trade Rek'Sai can deal 457.18 damage, While a Garen Can only deal 227.2 Damage. And Rek'Sai gets to cooldown her Q In half the time as the Garen. ** The outcome is obvious that A Rek' Sai is absolutely broken even in comparison to champions Like Garen. Because get this Rek' Sai does not even have the weakness that Garen does which is being kited, as Rek'Sai has a movement dash(Tunnel) and a long range skill.

The ranged skill has 1650 range. That is literally almost an entire screens width. Cd of 11 seconds (this one lowers down to 7 at level 5) At level 1 skill, but level 2 Rek'Sai. (Of course you would really wait Until level 3 to be able to use it.) 60 +50% AD + 70% AP = 98 Damage. The projectile being as Big as a Sion and moves faster than a Morgana's Stun.

So Honestly Riot, How is this acceptable, And why have you not fixed Rek' Sai to be at least beatable. Even if I only see her Once in 40 games, That one game she is in she will win and probably carry a team to victory.

My opinion, she definitely does not need True damage on that Furious Bite, and Increase her cooldowns Q To 8 and E To 15CD with a .5 second lower per level.

Guys if that is not the icing on the cake, She also has a better version of Garen's Ultimate.

maxed level its 400 + 200%AD +30% of their missing health.

This Champion is broken, please fix it.

Someone doesn't understand how to calculate bonus AD. Check Rek Sai's skills and try again my dear.

Almost every time that I play against a Rek Sai I win lol. You can use any AOE spell on her right when she uses her unburrow skill to stop her from taking advantage of you being knocked up. Like Garen, use q and use it on her when she gets close, unless she bought merc treads she will still be silenced when the knock up effect is finished and you can easily e her and w her q. And you can also bait her r to put her into a bad situation by walking/dashing deep into your tower or into your team.

Unless you feed her early she will be outscaled and can be easily killed by almost everybody in the game. By almost everybody I mean supports that don’t deal any damage on their own, like full supp build Janna.

I honestly haven't seen a Rek'sai in months. It's all Graves, Kayn, and Xin.

So it does not calculate your base AD into skills?

This math...this aint it chief

I see I had no Idea there was such a distinction between the AD and Bonus AD, nevertheless Rek'Sai Still more than Doubles the damage of Garen especcially at the 4 seconds in combat mark. You can not dispute that fact.

And Even If My math is Wrong, I am close enough in the amount of damage Rek'Sai does in comparison, I flat out watched her deal 360 damage at level 2. With only 2 skills. This is insane damage. This is Unbalanced. Guys that is half of a champions health.
