Weird, I didn't know Rek'Sai had a huge point and click CC, great tank steroids, and great damage while hard countering AD champions.

Pretty sure he was talking about her mobility options, but you bring up some good points.

Riot, Rek'Sai clearly needs some buffs. Add these to her kit ASAP. You know, to make up for her non combat ult.

How is she like kassadin other than being a void creature?

oh yeah that shitty Q thing they both shoot out -__-

Kassadin isn't even a void creature. He's just tainted by it.

He was consumed by the void; a creature of the void.

Aside from the ability a essentially riftwalk on a non-ult ability, and leave rift-walks behind to use later?

In fact I will properly list the reasons... She can move fast to knock up like Rammus, but doesn't need to path around minions or flash under them. Also it has less CD. She has the burst of Kassadin. She can riftwalk basically without resource cost or a 20s mana debuff. What is more she leaves tunnels behind for future use. She has a ranged slow, like Kassadin. All of this without giving up an ult, her ult is just as good as Twisted Fate's. It may be limited to tunnels but is also global.

On top of this she gets tremor sense, DPS which Kass doesn't have and mass healing from her furry which in my eyes is a tank steroid.

With the recent nerfs to Kassadin and the destruction of his purpose as a disabler, Kassadin is nothing but a sub-par LeBlanc, and doesn't compete.

Rammus is still a bit tankier, but I don't see with all of his disadvantages in mobility, burst, being able to speed up any time and healing, that he will be nearly as useful as Rek'Sai.

Did I say she was OP? Nope. But certainly doesn't need a buff. She is as strong, if not stronger than any other champion lacking a combat ult.

kassadin uses his void powers (+ his magic powers) to teleport through the fucking air. Reksai digs tunnels and leaves them behind when shes dug the tunnel... rammus's whole kits revolves around being a powerball / tank with movement speed like no other.

She gets 15/20/25 FLAT movement speed while burrowed. Rammus gets 165% movement speed in powerball. That isnt comparable at all.

Yes, that riftwalk. In case you forgot, Rift Walk has a 3 second cooldown. And it also deals a health amount of damage. Tunnel has an 18 second cooldown.

Burst of Kassadin... She has NO burst, what are you smoking? Even with 100 fury E (which will never actually happen in a fight btw) her damage isnt high. And most of it is focused on her Q, which requires 3 AAs. hardly burst damage.

Ranged slow... There is no slow in Rek'sais kit. Im not sure what youre thinking of.

Poor Rammus, left completely behind by League's power growth. Once the terror of Summoners Rift, now abandoned, not because of nerfs, but because of design philosophy changing towards twitchy, bursty, hyper mobile, hyper packed champion kits.

He actually had a solid place during season 4 though lol
