I'll be surprised if Rek'sai gets through picks and bans very often, just like Azir. I like her quite a bit, personally. The tunnel mechanic is super interesting and the global is nice. I haven't played much of her in Top, but I she seems quite strong there as well. | ||

We see champions like Lee and J4 who can Top and Jungle but that rarely translates well in competitive play. I guess the last champion with that kind of duality was Lulu last season, who we saw Support early in S4 before transitioning to almost full time Top. I'd personally put Rek'Sai jungle. | ||

In the past 3 days, I have seen rumors that Impact will be playing Top for every NA LCS team that does not have a top laner. Lol. It would be huge to get him into the LCS, but I will believe it when I see it. EDIT: Re to Neo: Yeah, I agree. I feel like the jungle is the right place for her to thrive. I feel like you get to make the most out of your tunnel mechanics when you aren't locked in a lane. I just think we could see some potential top lane Rek'sai come out, since she has free sustain with her rage/burrow and can abuse her global ult to move a little more freely than the standard teleport top laners. | ||

One of Noc's biggest issues was the CD on Paranoia though. 180/140/100 compared to Rek'Sai's 150/110/70 for Void Rush. I suppose the trade off is the where on the Rift you can ulti do. You essentially have to backtrack to somewhere where you've tunnel recently. | ||

Rumours about Yellowstar retiring after this split look serious now. Rek'Sai will be played in China for sure and it was locked a lot as first pick in Korean Challenger yesterday. Knowing that NA picks something new only after Korea picks it though, gotta wait at least a month~. And EU will still play Irelia :> Febiven made a horrible mistake though most likely.

Hilarious sustain in lane, you can't outsustain/outtrade her at all. Sick mobility, global ult, slow and knockup. Ah, and waveclear. Ye, kinda cute. | ||

Coming back to lane is obvious but you'd also need to find the opportunity to push the lane so you can roam a little into the enemy jungle and tunnel around Baron and/or around the enemy Red or Rocks, etc. Doesn't her R require a tunnel to begin with? Maybe I am wrong. | ||

The specific instance I can think of that Top Lane Rek'sai has an advantage over a standard TP top laner is for early/mid game Dragons. You're likely going to have tunnels in top lane anyway, so you can use your TP to match the enemy Top and 5/5 at Dragon. Then, once that fight is over, you can Void Rush right back to your tunnel and catch the wave before it smashes into your tower. | ||

Edit: so you are saying walk to Dragon then R back to lane. That's very different from TP to bot then walk back to top due to the lack of surprise factor. | ||

Use the TP to make a play on bottom side, and then use your ult to get right back to your lane. Very few top laners can actually match that kind of global pressure. | ||

I understand your sentiment that Noc's R has long CD. In terms of pure power by the move itself, I think 100 seconds is justified. That being said, the problem is that a Noc without R is utterly useless, which greatly impacts his late game (can't fight unless R is up). | ||

I'd rather have shorter ults there, and longer in general for teamfights (not necessarily Galio-level cd though). As is once you hit 11 your ult's availability for a teamfight is rarely a constraint. I remember when Sona and Leona were played more, not having Crescendo was super important and forced to stall a fight, while Leona could afford to use hers more liberaly. It was a very important part of the match-up when both were picked too. | ||

That being said hes like TF, hes always offmeta but you can pick him into any global based comp and he'll work. B tier if that's a metric to compare. Oh and what does everyone think of Kennen on this patch? He got some buffs that should make him at least a bit more relevant than before right? | ||
