Seroius Riot STOP nerfing Rek'Sai

right now.. BEFORE your patch goes live.. reksai does not even REACH a 50% until diamond http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/reksai at diamond+ she has 51%

in LCS she has a 50% win rate...

infact.. her winrate is almost IDENTICAL in every elo to that of Riven .. who you just seriously BUFFED http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/riven/diamond.

in fact rek'sai's winrate is slightly LOWER than riven's

YES i understand LCS player play her a lot. and i am also sick and tired of seeing her in LCS.

but unless you either gut her to the point where she is completely worthless (which your doing) or completely remove tremor sense. she is ALWAYS going to be a contested pick in ANY team with VOICE CHAT.

the ONLY time you ever see "vision/warding wars" is in LCS, and THAT is what rek'sai helps with, and with the abiltiy to get to a teamfight asap. she is contested

unless she is absolutely useless in a fight the vision provided by her tremor sense will get her picked in LCS.

first you took away her release damage, (which was desperatly needed)

but then you never stopped

you took away more damage in the next few patches your reduced her HP

and then AGAIN because of LCS you nerf her knockup radius then you remove fury gained from knockup

next time LCS happens you DESTROY her tremor sense

and how you are getting her mobility.

..

she already does no damage, she already provides less vision, and now she isn't as mobile.

my god she is freaking buildingitem 3077 before she finishs her cinderhulk because she cant even clear the jungle fast enough to. and she dones't even FINISH it until its her last item

when have i seen reksai do ANYTHING useful in LCS other than summoner 4 unburrow? + tank. that and vision is all she is bloody used for, well guess what.. the other 99.999% of players would like to do MORE than that with her.

So much this! I've played her since release, and I agree with you 100%. 5.9 Rek'Sai was balanced.

What they should be doing is nerfing tremor sense to hurt her performance in pro play, then buff her damage to help out soloq. Reks in the LCS don't build damage anyway (even on most Junglers that are supposed to be dealing damage), so it shouldn't effect them.

The problem is they need those LC$ Big plays and more people to watch it. With only Rek'sai, Gragas, Lee Sin, and Elise for the jungle they want to change things up and get new junglers so their game doesn't look so stale. But you know instead of buffing junglers (like Vi, who was "adjusted" in 6.17 and somewhat nerfed) they simply nerf the junglers that are decent.

I used to love playing Rek'sai, but her damage became garbage and I didn't want to be more than a knock up CC bot so I only player on Twisted Treeline or when I need to play a tank.

I'd like to see some buffs, proper ones, instead of nerfing those who are viable for the jungle.

She was one of my favorite junglers but now I don't choose her because there are many more successful choices now. Solo/Duo queue requires you to play champions that have the capability to singlehandedly snowball or carry your team to victory. You can't rely on your teammates, especially at silver/gold ELO.

No matter what Riot does, Rek'Sai will always be a top teir professional pick, even if they remove all of her damage. Her utility and vision is far too valuable. In ranked play, she will probably fall into the pre-rework Eve-tier crevice and never recover until they provide more dmg.
