Rek'sai Needs A Nerf

Nerf Rek'sai please in the next patch. Her Q does way too much damage all around game, especially with Tiamat/Hydra. The cooldown not to mention is really short and makes it impossible to go in a 1v1 scenario without getting burst in 3 seconds. One thing about her tunnels, I think they're neat, it makes her unique and mobile. But, using tunnels over and over and over again with no cooldown is really rediculous. Literally you can have a tunnel link from base turret to the outer turret and get to lane way too quick. Tunnel use needs a cooldown too, not just the creation of one. Rek'sai really is a neat champion, but she needs some nerfs.

Each tunnel that is on the map has an individual cooldown, she can't use that specific tunnel again. I don't see what the problem is if she decides to chain them to lane, because that then forces her to use those tunnels. Rek'sai can have a maximum of 8 tunnels out at any given point, and they are super visible to the other team once they find them (they show up on the minimap even when you dont have current vision of the tunnel) not to mention you are given incentives to destroy it (5 gold isn't much, but you get this gold and the knowledge you made rek'sai's ult even more unusable).

If Rek'sai builds full damage, then she evaporates in a teamfight.

Nerfing Rek'sai top would just make her unviable as a jungle, her intended role.

You got bursted by her Q... how about don't play a squishy against a bruiser.

yesterday when i checked she had a 57% winrate, 15% popularity above diamond league and a 60% banrate

no other champion even comes close without dropping to ~2% popularity. there's clearly an issue with the champion.

Upvoted, shes 2 weeks hold, has the highest win rate in the game, and the highest ban rate. But fanboys will say shes fine..

Rammus ok

It's her early game damage which is problematic. It's funny because she can actually 1v1 Lee sin given she gets the drop, but it's probably too much. Her late game is not that scary, because without flash it is really easy for an adc with LW to melt her.

Dude...her Q is an empowered aa which means it can crit just like any other champion can with crit

I play Rek'sai a lot and yea she needs a nerf. Just hopefully not as much as they nerfed Yasuo...

Reduce Q damage to other enemies struck? Getting damaged by champs reduces the heal?

Shes really not that OP, just slightly over-tuned number wise . Once you actually get her numbers in check she doesn't really have much to offer that you cant find someplace else.
