Just like when I first played DotA and rushed Sange & Yasha non-stop, when I started League it was all about Triforce on like every offensive champion. Those stats! Those passives! THE VALUE!

Garen's passive rework is insanely good. At level 18, narrowly escaped a team-fight in enemy base where we went 4-for-4 at 50HP. With Spirit Visage and my passive, I was back up over 2K by the time I got back to our Wraiths (enemy Jax was foolishly chasing me). Seems ok to be Mundo+.

In fairness, I leveraged my huge XP lead by rolling down to mid and killing their mid who was pushed up, then happened to find their jungle in topside jungle on my way back up and cashed in there. 12 minutes I was 6-0-2 and had Black Cleaver and Last Whisper compared to...

There's no reason to give Rek'sai any more little perks or buffs. She has fantastic base stats, great base damage and damage scaling, superior mobility, and incredibly safe jungling. On that note, I've been playing a bunch of her, and this is what I've got down so far: Runes: - AD Reds - Armor Yellows - MR or ASpd runes - ASpd Quints Masteries: Offense 21 - Standard AD fare. You can skip the butcher tree for a few points in CDR or Spellweaving/Bladeweaving if you like, since you get decent sustain mileage out of your passive Defense 9 Utility 0 Blue side, start Krugs (smite), go Red, Frog, Crab (as mentioned, this guy is basically just ~50 free HP the first time through), and then look for ganks top and mid. On red side, start Frog, Blue, Red (you'll have Smite for bonus HP which is great), and then similarly head towards Crab before checking for ganks. Beyond this, jungling is both routine and safe: always Burrow after camps to keep yourself healing/topped off, since wasted Fury is wasted HP. Important things: always be tunneling. It doesn't matter if it seems like it's in a dumb spot, if it's off CD and you're not using it your hamstringing your ability to fly around the map. Early on, most enemy players won't be going deep into your jungle or checking obscure locations anyways, so you can set up your own little rail system. Throughout the midgame, it's on a short enough CD that you can start thinking about networking into the middle of the map. Tunnels set up in enemy territory are useful port locations if you put them in obscure spots no one will routinely sweep. Keep in mind, however, that as much as you want to spam tunnels everywhere, you want to make sure it's up if you're ganking or about to head into enemy territory just in case. I've routinely been building the following items: - Stalker's Blade (Warrior Enchantment): Blue smite is by far your best pickup here, as it will assist your rather anemic ganks. Because of Tunnels fixed distance it's not a fantastic opener on ganks, but it can be a great follow-up. To that end, blue smite will force escapes since you can otherwise pop-up underneath enemies to enable laners - saving Tunnel means you can follow-up easily on those escapes to try and secure your target. Warrior Enchantment is far and away your best build upgrade here as well. Q double-dips on AD since it simply makes your already AD bolstered autos into an AOE Cleave with a total 1.2 bonus AD ratio - AD effectively gets 2.2 times its value on Q. And that's on top of some CDR and ArPen. Since Q applies on-hits Devourer sounds like it would be good in practice, but it's really just junk since she has great base attack speed and gets boatloads of it in her ult passive. - Ravenous Hydra: Another item that gets to double-dip heavily on Q, making it a fantastic option. Furthermore, it double-dips on lifesteal since Q applies on-hits, of which lifesteal is one, in addition to proccing the Hydra passive lifesteal as well. This item is what enables Rek'sai to lifedrain tank (although some bulk really helps). Once again, you could also build BotRK in this slot, but it is a strictly inferior option, and blue smite negates the one benefit it provides you (the on-use slow). - Trinity Force: Rek'sai makes fantastic use of all the stats and uniques on this item, making it a fantastic purchase. Build this item if you are ahead, but it's certainly not critical (like the preceding two are). Often I will pick up a Phage after Hydra and forego completion on this item until I've picked up some additional defensive items. - Spirit Visage: An outstanding defensive item that can bolster your regenerative powers. In addition to adding to your bulk, this item gives you additional regeneration from your passive, and can turn your into an incredibly difficult to kill target if you've a Hydra and happen to be standing near multiple targets. The added CDR also means more tunnels and Q spam. - Guardian Angel: Building the Vest or Cloak first lets you get mileage out of the defense you need, but completing this item is significant. After your initial jump into team fights you'll be left somewhat vulnerable, so this gives you some major soaking power in the long run. The threat of standing up is very real, and without hard CC to pin you down you can often Burrow->Tunnel after standing up. - Randuin's Omen: If you're up against AD heavy comps where Spirit Visage does you no good, this is a fantastic alternative. Adding significant bulk and giving you another active slow (don't forget about Blue Smite!) this item can keep you alive long enough to shred opponents. - Boots: Typically Tabi or Merc Treads, I've not yet experimented with other options since she definitely doesn't require more mobility through Mobis or Swifties, nor does the added CDR seem valuable. Berserkers are strictly inferior on her, given she's a melee skirmisher. When approaching ganks, always try to approach in such a way that you can Smite your target (if it's up) prior to Tunneling. If you can't, no worries, the Tunnel catch often is enough to force a flash. An important thing to remember, as well, is that all your damage is front-loaded in your Q: if you can't get those autos on your target you won't be providing much more damage to an exchange. On that note, don't try to skirmish with enemies if you don't have it available since you just don't have much more damage elsewhere early. Later on you can pound away on skulls since with even just a pair of AD items you'll be doing upwards of 600 true damage with a full-fury E, nothing to scoff at. Spend tons of time in Burrow form getting used to your sonar ability, as it can be key to early and late game success. Get your practice in with Burrowed Q, as being able to see your opponents is significant. A fun note, though, is that you can pop your trinket ward to gain vision of the area right around you (if you should need to) since you still get to share vision with all allied units and structures while burrowed. The only other note I can give is note to get too aggressive once the game runs late: it's really easy to get cocky if you're ahead, but if you Tunnel in and miss an Unburrow, you are entirely exposed as you have no getaway plan for 10 seconds or so. Otherwise, Rek'sai is a very potent early and midgame threat, a fantastic dueler, and a great pusher. Tons of fun. Oh, and don't get too attached to her. She's bound to eat some nerfs.

If you analyze the situation, I'm sure you'll find the only problem with Smite exists between your keyboard and chair.

Servaetes posted:Only problem I'm having with that runepage/mastery setup is how loving horribly banged up I get clearing. If I get a bad leash, i'm backing after the first major buff and hauling rear end back to the other. I don't think burrowing in the middle of combat with the buffs is intelligent either but yeah, you pretty much need to do red second if you're trying not to back right away because holy poo poo it's easy to die to that. I'd imagine an invade on her would be extremely bad for her. As mentioned, Triforce is definitely over-and-above necessary offense pickups on her. Like most bruiser-y type who pick it up, it's just because grabbing while you're ahead can just keep you there. Definitely not required, though. Win rate aside, I could still definitely see some base/scaling hits to her Q. It's just really, really good.

NTT posted:I'm having a lot of trouble going anything other than 20/9 in most of my Rek'sai games. Not sure whether to chalk it up to her being OP or just nobody knowing what the gently caress I'm capable of doing. 2:1 KDA isn't really anything close to OP. The majority of my recent games have been very positive KDAs, though, and I think it's because no one really respects/understands how much damage she frontloads in her Q autos. If they try to duel you, you just win against almost everyone. Even 2v1 skirmishes are often in your favor if you're already ahead on items, since you just splash so much damage.

Transient People posted:I think that was just K/D A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Udyr beats her up pretty easy. Having said that, the biggest issues Rek'sai has is her crippling weakness to kiting. Above ground she's just as slow as any ranged ADC, which means on her own she really needs to nail a good Unburrow (whether tunnel assisted or not) in order to get the jump on anyone. She is incredibly lacking in stickiness beyond her initial pop. Additionally, and it has been noted by several others already, she's rather poor at teamfighting. You really want to pick your battles, and definitely don't want a team comp that relies on Rek'sai to initiate (because she really sucks at it).

The thing about Rek'sai that no one has realized yet is that she is, for the most part, a more mobile Xin. Rek'sai (not including submarine form) Q - 45/105/165/205/285(+1.2 bonus AD) physical divided over three auto-attacks; deals damage in an AOE W - 60/110/160/210/260(+0.6 bonus AD) physical E - .8/.9/1.0/1.1/1.2 total AD physical, or 1.6/1.8/2.0/2.2/2.4 total AD true (often this isn't a factor) R - steroid Xin Q Q - 45/90/135/180/225(+0.6 total AD) divided over three auto-attacks; knocks up on 3rd hit; target will have -15% armor for the last two hits if not already applied (which inflates the numbers) W - steroid E - 70/105/140/175/210(+0.6 AP), applies 25/30/35/40/45% slow R - 75/175/275(+1.0 bonus AD, +15% enemy current HP) For argument's sake, let's assume both have 100 base AD and 40 bonus AD (equivalent to the AD jungle item). Assuming both land all their skills at max rank and nothing more: Rek'sai - (100*3 +285 + 48) + (260 + 24) + 168 = 1085 total physical damage (likely, given that I'm assuming not-max-rage since you'll seldom have it) Xin - (100*3 + 225 + 84) + (210) + (275 + 40) + 15% target current HP = 924 total physical damage + 210 magic damage + 15% target current HP, all before factoring in the free 15% armor reduction. Xin also heals for 50(+0.7 AP). While these numbers obviously are a great indicator of a champion's overall strength or kit, it's a good example to illustrate the over-reactions people have. What makes Rek'sai strong isn't her numbers (which simply compete with other similar bruisers). For example, if we get into sustainability, Rek'sai and Xin are once again fairly comparable, given one heals for 25*level HP on a full rage bar (which isn't always practical), and the other for 26->50 HP every three autos, with no scaling. Rather, what gives her strength is her incredibly strong mobility. She's got mobility comparable to Lee Sin, albeit hers requires more setup. However, with setup down she can become even more slippery than her blind friend. That in and of itself is what makes Rek'sai so strong. In lane, she's incredibly similar to Xin in function, able to drop a heap of damage tied to autos if she gets on her target. She suffers all the same weaknesses as Xin as well (namely vulnerability to blinds, and poor ability to deal with kiting). Her strength when compared to him, however, is that she essentially gets TP to lane built in to her kit and can ALWAYS take offensive summoners, where Xin has to choose one of the other. Her sustain and offensive prowess in lane is incredibly similar to Xin, as well. Looking at her numbers, though, shows the apparent difference: Rek'sai does better with more bonus AD (encouraging the purchase of offensive items), where Xin has strong bases and free penetration, which allows for a compromise between offense and defense while still providing utility. Ultimately, if they're going to hit Rek'sai, I wouldn't be shocked to see the bases on Q shaved down slightly, and perhaps a 0.1 or 0.2 AD ratio decrease. However, the change the will likely affect her most will be the changing of the duration of Burrows and CD on her ultimate. With the latter being tied intrinsically to the function of the former, I'd wager we'll see a duration (and perhaps even CD increase) change that is more aggressively oriented, with a small bump in the CD on her ult to follow suit.
