A way Riot could make Rek'Sai's new ult work.

So yeah... When a ultimate that has a lot of damage output, puts you up-close with your target (and hopefully not in the middle of their team, which is 80% of the time) sounds pretty great right? But then we find out that they can just flash/dash. And now it's just a 60 second cd dash at max level...

SO, here is my opinion as to what I believe would greatly help rek'sai with her ult. You see the tunnel she leaves behind when she ults at a target? Why not get it to stay there for a short duration? Yes, even if it was to only last 5 seconds, that would greatly counter the "Highly skilled outplays of flashing/dashing slightly to the right", With this we can not be entirely punish for wasting an ultimate and now stuck in their team, we will be able to get out and readjust as to where to attack next.

Comment what you think, and again, this is my opinion.

It's a good idea, but she still lacks a way of sustain in the fight.. If she goes heavy AD she gets blown up, if she goes tanky she does no damage and applies very little CC. Generally speaking Fighters tend to have 1 or the other. Fiora healing (can dash out, has ms, can block spells) JarvanIV AoE CC (And shield/has decent damage still if gone tank) Olaf Healling (and ignores cc) RivenAoE CC (and shield) Jax AoE CC (and a way out on a short cd) Warwick Healing ( and damage reduction, ult = CC) XinZhao Heals (has CC on 3rd auto and can knock away the team w.ult)

and then we have RekSai who like all the other champs ive listed (and there are more) do pretty respectable damage, but she has 1 CC and is practically single target and has no way to heal in the fight, has no type of shielding or way to reduce damage.

I know it sounds like i'm just listing strengths and weaknesses of a champion, but Rek'sai doesn't have the tools her class needs to do her job. Thats the point im trying to convey.

I absolutely love this idea. Honestly, I thought this was going to be a feature of the ultimate in the first place.

But then we find out that they can just flash/dash.

Don't say this as it illegitimate.

What would be better (IMO) is when she ult, she should go under the ground (could knockup).

Didn't people just complain about how Reksai ult could be stepped out of, so they made it only dodgable by Flashing or dashing, and now you complain about "sick outplays of flashing/dashing slightly to the right"?

Also they made Reksai a diver. Go in, and stay in. Not an Assassin with an escape tunnel.
