Rek'Sai the assassin

So to all fans of the new champion Rek'Sai this is a just a post to try and get you all to try something a little different if you already haven't. I know Rek'Sai is SUPPOSED to be a bruiser type of champion but to be honest she has extreme amounts of damage after rushing BoTRK/Ravenous Hydra. Following those two items having boots of speed for sticking power and then farming for either Trinity Force for more sticking power and burst or getting Last Whisper to fight a tanky team. I'm a Zed and Fizz main so massive burst is what I know best. Rek'Sai is one of the strongest champions I've ever played if you know how to manage your fury and keep it max for fights and utilizing the damage from E. Get aggressive and dont be scared to jump in because you'd be surprised what kind of burst she can do.

The problem is Rek'Sai as an assassin doesn't really have a reliable escape. If she already has tunnels there to get into a fight, the enemy is really stupid and it doesn't matter, and if you don't, after E'ing in you either kill everything or die. Her only escapes, total, are her E (which requires her to either have preplaced tunnels if she wants to engage or use it) and her R (which is cancelled by any champion damage, making it only good if you can see them coming and need to run).

While she does huge damage, itemizing pure damage leaves her insanely squishy on someone with no reliable escapes.

She's like a Darius if he had a gapcloser, so you are telling me that bruisers that rush damage deal actually horrendous amounts of it on most unarmored targets?

She can't afford to really go full AD, if her mobility has high Cd and building tunnels aroudn takes time plus people can just remove them, she's squishy if not built tanky you are gonna blow up before you can attack.

As a bruiser she doesn't have any sticking power at all, her only CC is her initiation tool which has an internal CD for units that got hit by her recently.

She also has a no combat ultimate so her damage is more than justified.

Compared to most bruisers she just has a low CD initiation tool and her damage route is very short that's why it seems she has too much dmg for a bruiser.

P.S. Aren't you ashamed of maining Fizz? D:
