Has anybody else forgotten Rek`sai is a champion?

I was just looking through the champs today and noticed Reksai and realised that I honestly havent seen that champion all season. I can`t recall a single point where I played with or against the champion. It kinda sucks that such a cool champion is practically non-existent in the game, and I hope she gets some love soon.

Who?

Nope, ive played her a few times, shes nice in top lane because she has a bit of built in sustain after the trades.

I got her in ARURF and went lethality, the enemy mages just stood still and laughed as my q repeatedly hit them for less than 150 damage. (not saying arurf needs to be balanced but dear god is rek so bad there, her knockup cd isnt even sped up in that mode and everyone who has an ability to counter her R will always have it up by the time it lands)

Wanted to quit league lol.

BUT

I did see her in normals and on my team against a rengar, reksai won a bunch of duels with them.

she was popular in pro play and got nerfed because of it. shes like Azir Kalista Ryze etc. she is part of this pool of champs that were strong in pro play and riot were clumsy in the the way they chose to nerf them and then just forget about the, meanwhile Irelia Rakan Graves and friends are allowed to be strong in pro play and solo queue and not see the same level of nerf for some reason.

Riot has, to them it only matters their new champions. Irelia, Aatrox, Akali Kaisa.

I played a game of her yesterday.

Her early clear was so abysmally horrific that I'm not going to bother.

I feel like anything she does could be done by Vi, and better.

Profirix11/7/2018, 7:07:07 AM2 votes

Vi does everything Rek'Sai does but safer and with higher damage. There is no reason to pick Rek'Sai over Vi. Vi's cooldown on Q is so short that she can practically use it just as often as Rek'Sai's fully-upgraded tunnel networks.

RekSai was the champ who made me start to like to jungle,, but the took away everything i liked about her Warwick does everything she does better now.

i was pissed for the first year and a half after they ruined her, but once they released Warwick 's rework he took her place for me.

they tok away everything i loved ahout her kit, her sustain her mobility, and moved it to Warwick .

there was a bunch of that that ruined her... her E's damage is now complete shit her tremor sense is so worthless now that its actaully more of as hindrence as by the time u see the spot they are no longer there and cant use it productively without,

she no longer can use tracker's knife to help with reduced vision... her heal between camps is effectively gone.

her knockup only hits 1 target,

her useful ultimate as a mobility tool is now replace with an ultimate that over half the champ in the game can dodge just by dashing, and unlike with "skillshot" u can "predict the dodge" because its "point and click" its also her only decent source of damage and its her ultimate and its competly unreliable... the only GOOD part about it is the I-frame dodge.

her Q aoe damage is also now effectivly worthless as well

Q above ground its aoe damage is shit ,. might as well not even be there Q you can't land her q below ground with tremour sense alone W Tremous sense is more of a hindrance now, and no longer has any effective heal W knockup only hits one target now E above ground, damage was gutted E below ground, first useful ability in the whole freaking kit, but completly fucking outclassed by new shit like Kayn and even older champs R point and click that can miss, the i-frame is good, its basially a long ranged "alpha strike" except the enemy can dodge it.

oh and did i mention.. trying to hit the plants unburrows her... so she cant use those effectively either

overall... she is complete trash now.

She's very strong when abusing Aftershock and building assassin.

Rek'Sai isn't fun because she should have had Cho'Gath-/Kog'Maw-esque lines, but instead just has grunting and hissing and that's annoying to listen to for 25+ minutes.

Akali Prime11/6/2018, 5:09:15 PM1 votes

i played her a few months ago, can barely kill two jg camps without almost dying.

Big ol Nom11/6/2018, 5:55:00 PM1 votes

her tunnel shouldnt be a set distance, if they fixed that she would be great in the meta rn

Sukishoo11/6/2018, 6:01:19 PM1 votes

I saw one last night and thought "what is th---oh right, her" really for once forgot about a champion.

hewhodoesnotcare11/6/2018, 6:14:43 PM1 votes

Make her q deal %hp make her e an execute on minions gaining x amount of hp. Change her r to the old one so she has map pressure like she use to..

[sg-janna] She really is such a cool champion that's so bad rn. One time a rek'sai was chasing me as Elise and i was like screw it imma fight her at 50 hp, and i one shot her with my Q. I legit felt SO BAD!

JeaneGreene11/6/2018, 12:38:19 AM1 votes

What’s sad is I used to really like her so I got her release skin, eternum rek’sai, and then they destroyed everything I liked about her.

She's not exactly a bad champ, but her gameplay just is wrong for me. She's all-out earlygame agression and then drops harder than udyr, her base damage is to low to be more than a knock-up bot later on if built tanky which really doesn't resonate with her fantasy, yet her kit is to predictable and clunky to allow squishy builts to be usefull for anything but snowball and/or pupstomping, especially since her base tankiness is pathetic aswell. Experienced players can still crush the early on her and snowball games well, but that's all she has and it also limits her to jungle only.

If she could actually be a viable bruiser later on, i would love to play her top, she's a cool character and the kit would have potential, but her current tuneing is just bad for me.

Nope, seen her about 3 times really recently. Performed scary well every time.

Player her in Norms once for the hell of it. She's a mess and I'm not shocked no one plays her. They ruined her kit.

More like "rekt" sai.
