Rek'Sai feedback, nuff said

Rek'sai is likely my favorite jungler ever to come from Riot. Her mechanics are smooth and intuitive, with QoL changes that just... Mm. Sublime. (When I ult it pings FOR me? Bless 'ye kind sir and Merry Christmas t'ye!)

But I want to throw my professional and highly valued 2 bits to the mix.

Rek'sai is way damn squishy early, and that's okay. But I can't help but feel something is amiss when clearing 2 camps in the jungle make me contemplate returning just to get health. Perhaps its the new jungle items? Perhaps it's too high base damage for the mobs. But something wrecks the poor girl pretty hard within the first 2 minutes of the game.

And, I am judge, jury and executioner late game. But here's the deal, I don't feel as if I earn it. As I mentioned, in the early game I'm a very limp noodle in my jungle, but it feels as if that doesn't impact my late game.

What I suggest and request is more healthy early game, with a late game that better rewards skill at the cost of some of his base power. Hell, maybe higher scaling AD/AP but less base value at higher ranks of skills.

Anyway, take or leave it but that's my feelz on the champ!

She is one of the few champions that can first clear the entire jungle without backing. Her free sustain when burrowed is ridiculous. Add lifesteal to your runes and she has absolutely 0 problems

Well one of my problems with her is that her ult is almost useless Don't get me wrong it has it's uses, but 90% of the time i use it to TP to my own jungle, which is really dumb IMO The 10% left is me trying to TP to a fight while people are dying so yea

Also, her Q is really lame (burrowed form). Has the theme of finding the prey, that's cool, but it's an opportunity to give her a gapcloser like a movespeed buff while chasing

Her ult is almost useless? Are you for real?

she is really good at split pushing two ping your team to not engage when huddled up and pressure another lane. She also has really good counter jungle mechanics and if you find her to be to squishy early game nothing a giants belt would't help with that you could build into an omen or a sunfire both good item's.

I absolutely love Rek'sai--she was definitely well crafted and thought out. The balance is strong with her. A little lifegain early on definitely helps solve the problem. What order do you tend to jungle in, too?

The only thing I wish Rito would change is how silence affects her while burrowed. I understand not being able to press W to unburrow because of silence, but not being able to basic-attack basically turns the cc into silence + blind. I wish they'd add a simple "crawl out" version of unburrow while silenced, where Rek'sai comes out but does not knock up.

I'm really unsure what your doing in jungle; are you sitting at raptors and waiting for them to kill you?

My main path is to start stones, go to red, wolves, gromp + smite, blue, and then go raptors and repeat the camps. Your sustain with the passive is frankly ridiculous, and you can free farm your jungle safely (though, if they have someone who wants to duel/counter jungle you, back early to get an upgraded smite and some damage).
