thanks to zzrot i've been having lots of fun playing around with top reksai. map pressure is insane and you can leave your lane for longer periods of time with a defensive zzrot. + titanic hydra is great on him.
sure he got nerfed quite a bit since he was last played top lane but with grasp + zzrot + titanic seems pretty gud. just dont play it into quinn or fiora or something similar lmao.
i wish there were some games of an actual good player playing it so I could see how it fares with good players. couldnt really find any examples of anyone actually testing it.

anyone remember which game it was in early korean days where it went into blindpick and one team picked some wierdo comp with blitzcrank and ultimately 5 man mid pushed to nexus?

Her. Rek'sai is female.
Speaking about lore or what not, this is by far the worst. Its like they made this champ a she simply to play out this exact conversation of "thats a she?" "Yup" "wtf?" When they could have just settled for an it at least.
Ive heard it a million times but i just call it a he or it. That fucking voice.

That's why he misses his kind.
Actually had a few good games with the scorpion lately. The crystal spire thing is stupid for sure, but the rest of the kit feels good. Seems to work with a lot of options, but IBG/DMP/BV feels like a nice core. I tried Runic Echoes on a suggestion and it kinda worked, the MS is nice and you get a bit extra clearing power and shield, but I dunno if it outweighs the extra straight tankiness of Cinderhulk.
Well all the high diamond/master skarner one tricks always go runic so it must be better in soloq. Or at least they did before the nerf this patch. Doubt it matters much.
Good rule of thumb is runic if you need to catch people (majority of games in high elo)
Warrior if your against a mostly melee team (unlikely but hey)
Cinderhulk and devourer are okay but outclassed. Sated with Titanic is hilarious though if you're just messing around and want a fun 1v3 build.
Sunfire is just so overbuffed at this point you don't want cinderhulk crowding out your bami spot, and warrior is actually pretty damn good on him vs melee teams, that and IBG is all you need to put out some serious sustained DPS. Throw in titanic for last item after you are super tanky

Such is the way of a lore nerd.

Actually, how does MS on DMP compare to Echoes? DMP is obviously conditional but is there a breakpoint where one beats the other?
Fully charged it's nowhere close. DMP's top end is 60 flat MS. To break even, Runic Echos would need to modify ~857.15 flat MS. However, by that time you are far above the second MS cap which reduces all additional MS by half so you'd need to double that to ~1,714.28 flat MS, which is impossible and back again at least a few times.
Granted, there are other things to take into account with what else the champion with DMP has as far as movespeed goes as well.
tl;dr- Runic Echos is never as fast as a full speed DMP.
