Reworked Rek’Sai Takes Over 

High elo players on the KR server is saying that playing against Rek'Sai in top lane is unfair. 〃 www.deeplol.gg/summoner/kr/1vsAll-KR1 www.deeplol.gg/summoner/kr/Dawnfang-KR1 www.deeplol.gg/summoner/search/Ssumday-2014 www.deeplol.gg/summoner/KR/%EC%82%AC%EB%9E%8C%EC%9C%84%EC%97%90%EC%82%AC%EB%9E%8C%EC%97%86%EA%B3%A0-2006 www.deeplol.gg/summoner/kr/%EC%B2%9C%EC%95%88%ED%83%B1%ED%81%AC%EB%B3%B4%EC%9D%B4-KR1

That gank at 5:58 is wild

6:00 you OK Karthus?

Holy crap, this build works. I’ve won 9 of 10 games so far, but replace Sterak’s with Titanic Hydra. You do way more dmg that way and can actually cs properly! Dobby saving my LP again ❤️

When they reworked her, Riot clearly said they did not want her to be played in top (that is why they nerfed her fury generation against minions), so this is most likely getting a nerf :c

you provide excellent and unique league content. Thank you

I was just about to play my first reksai games too since her rework looked interesting, dobby the goat

My low diamond soloQ is going to get interesting

still mad about them removing the true damage from her. removed the themes of void champs (except for k6) doing true damage

This looks sick! I’m and aatrox otp and I decided to play a random champ until 100K mastery and settled on rek’sai, specifically top. She’s so much fun, I’ve watched every guide under the sun and tried every even slightly viable build, be it titanic into youmuus, youmuus into opportunity, titanic sundered sky, titanic cleaver, or rune page and nothing is consistent and idk if I’m just bad or what, but this looks promising and just like everything else ima give it a try. Thanks homie :)

I like this playstyle Sustain became a non option in top - or more so the default Atleast this sort of playstyle pops up again

I thought this could be a problem after I played a few games of Rek'Sai with her reworked kit and saw how massive the heal is. It's even a % max hp heal, so it scales with health stacking. They really need to reduce the rage generation on creeps, or this might end up being a go to blind pick top.

Shai Hulud

music fits so well for this one

If anyone wondering what the best counterpick to reksai is, its ap varus, as it has anti tank and anti heal in his kit and outscales all tanks, if reksai wants a chance at winning it they have to go assassin build with edge of night

I love that you are referencing OnevsAll in your videos too!

Played against this yesterday. If you don't have an insane amount of dmg pressure you just can't do anything to Reksai. Extremely frustrating because of how easy she can set up ganks / runaway as well.

i instantly gave it a try after the rework arrived. her passive is ridiculous but he lacks the damage. i lost the game with 7 kill lead because i couldnt hurt enemy adc who had armor boots.

She's such a strong champion, she can duel a Warwick 2 levels below her, an Olaf with 1/5th of her HP, and Varus after losing multiple waves with a gank. She's probably screwed in top, it's basically unplayable unless you are a god at Rek'sai, and all her non-tank builds got nerfed.

Rek'Sai has truly become a wholesome chungus

When Dobby makes a build and says it’s OP, but then STILL says Olaf should not be underestimated, you know Olaf is fcking OP

Now Rek'Sai top is dead because basic attacks gives her only 5 stacks of Fury (instead of 12.5 after her rework). Which means she can't heal on every trade. 😕

If Riot nerfs this, but lets Varus still be playing in top, they would show that the balance team DOES NOT play they own game at all.

I’m still miffed about the true damage removal. I was fine with the minion fury gain being halved as it was strong being able to smack minions to quickly chunk your opponent if they weren’t careful. But they kinda just decided to remove the identity from reksai that voidborne champions had of dealing true damage with atleast one ability.

Another hard counter is xin xao, that champ terrifies me as reksai

Just played against one, i lost and now i get this recommended on yt XD

i was plat4 last week sttarted playing rek'sai to see if it will work. Just got emerald 4 right now the build the the abilities the healing. Nobody can win vs me on top i swear to god. I got camped i got ganked i cant die! tbh i really started liking rek'sai not only for her poteential but overall :)

Big counter to reksai is CC while she is in burrowed state making her unable to outsustain her opponent

Had watched it on Ha Tieu Phu yt channel yesterday and now I watch yours :3 Love ur vid bro, so much that I learn from it❤

this just feels like a the zombie volibear build but you get more sustain early and abit more movement with tunnels and ult, but probably do worse mid and late then voli would with all the low cd heal and shield, also just looking at how close some of these fights are and how much you have to do to pull them off, compared to stand in E hit W mark hit Q ult tower for disable.

i knew this was gona happen eventually when i saw the passive healing changes the only reason i dont like this champion is the barrowed vision reduction that thing throws me off so hard

always lovely to find some hidden op build especially for top _D

This is literaly why she was reworked into an assassin ages ago, high sustain in lane and team cc in teamfight Riot changing champion to remake mistake they made in the past is always funny to watch

So much for her not being a wholesome chungus champion

even in a good player, it looks bad

no joke went 6 wins 0 loss on this pick and went from d2 to masters, just today XD. so OP. can't lose lane

Before anyone goes into ranked thiking this is op: is not lol. Its not great either, but is "ok". The fact is that rek'sai top is pretty unplayable, but because of the way they reworked her, if you build tank and take advantage of the % max* HP regen, then it becomes an ok pick. Will u crush lane like old AD reksai? no. But you can be really reliably safe and do ok. In that regard is kind of like a Malphite. U will be fine top on your own, u prob wont feed, and u are a reliable way to start a fight midgame. Its also like lane Master Yi (as weird as it sounds). Lane Yi sucks, but he has his OP W sustain, which is why u can make do in lane even vs some difficult early game champs. Is it great? no, but you can do well on it c: Thx for the cool video o7

Reksai lost her identity when they removed her old tp ult. That was something truly unique and fitting of her underground theme. Lost interest in the champ long since then.

Well, goodbye rek sai, sere you in a few patches

I wish Riot NEVER nerf this cause' is a pick for people that knows how to play Rek'Sai, and that's the 0.2% of League players.

最高のレクサイや！！

It's not that broken luckily. Just viable. Esp if enemy don't build anti heal, max health dmg etc. Low elo maybe fine, high elo should adjust very quickly.

interesting, to bad i just ignore Rek'sai as I proxy using Singed

In general Reksai is too strong. Almost every game you beat anyone in dmg taken and especially healing done. Its so crazy.

What's the usual build against Morde with this one? I get a good test out but I don't know what build path I should follow.

这次的改动还算良心 雷克塞的强度确实该提高一下了

throw titanic hydra as third item and you have an amazing build

I wonder if something similar in jungle would work with aftershock or phase still?

welp Riot intended her to be an a Bruiser the didnt expected that Tank gonna be better so they prob gonna do small hotfixes to improvise the dmg and clear and just lower the healing a bit so instead of Tank she can go Bruiser and have some use from more than Cleaver Stride and Steraks XD

man i remember back in patch 8.11 when riot gutted an entire class out of the game for doing exactly this XD

İ did this a wile back but in support its craxy the self dustaib

as a reksai main, mostly playing jungle.. reksai tank is so boring and although its based on champion composition,for me the bruiser or assasin build for top lane works better than pure tank.

ngl this looks entirely like cinderhulk reksai

I still miss her :'(

I love playing tanks but my main is litteraly Rek'sai Building her tank without considered as trolling, it is an honor for me

As a jungler i started rush bami & heartsteel that far to op... AD isn't worth early for your ratio are really poor compare to you base damage & passive regen with a heartstell can easely ramp-up to 300 HP/sec

Today so many tanky outsustain picks top, that just doesn"t make sense. They basically ignore whatever the damage, push the lane, heal, and even do more damage early on, like, what? That game is not interesting.

Riot killed Assassin and Bruiser Rek'Sai to create uber tank Rek'Sai. Looks like they forgot how Tank meta was boring and unbalancable. Still happy to see how Korea destroy the game xD

Lmfao now the new rework is out this video has no purpose 2 weeks after posting. 😂😂😂

of course Riot is going to nerf Reksai as she isn't played much. If she had the same pick rate as Ksante she would be getting buffs

Riot be like: Oh no! One person is enjoying a niche playstyle, lets remove it!

That entire video was a showcase of the Reksai having to do some massive outplays with trading between burrowed and unburrowed forms to sustain, go in for small bursts then sustain again just to beat the opponent while the other top laners unga bunga their abilities and still nearly win. The level 11 reksai almost lost to the level 9 warwick. Doesn't seem like a good pick, lacks damage.

reminds me of belveth support

What do you think about pairing this pick with unending despair?

Ugh this is like Warwick top except no one is used to it yet.

why tf are we learning about some masters reksai top otp 💀💀💀💀

Still crying for diana vid

6:14 if thats the case anyway ... so why not last stand for runes ? ( since we want to be low on HP when we ult them )

if it's still getting countered by aatrox and irelia is her healing really a problem?

anyone tried Unending Despair on Rek sai? Sounds interesting

Why not have video 1# sett?

Pretty sure this got nerfed patch v14.4 (recently)

Imagine going from hardstuck pisslow to masters 300lp in a few weeks just cause riot made an oopsie with your OTP.

It isn't related to top rek`sai, but what about jg rek`sai building sundered sky and eclipse pretty simliar to lee sin?

It seems like Aatrox is listed as a counter in a lot of these videos for top, so I ask you. What counters Aatrox?

I played vs this today with Mundo and destroyed them.

wholesome chungus

Ngl the new Rek'sai top is insanely good,but whats even better than her burrow healing is the true damage you get from her E,i used to watch another korean challenger play reksai top and he would max E,Q,W because of how much the E scaled with your damage,in combination with what this player is doing,going an E first then w then q then max e would be insane due to the sustain and early game pressure from just aa's and your bite,plus at 2 you can choose to further engage with your burrow and e tunneling to either come back to tower faster or to mess with your opponent and bait them to get rid of your tunnels so that you can go all in for kills

6:00 karthus inting wtf

enemies never heard of botrk

I actually played her top before, ever since they initially increased her Healing, also with Phase Rush. But it wasn't very good. Then after this "Rework", I saw the Passive Adjustment and knew I had to try it again! And yes, the Healing is actually insane, I loved it. However, they gutted her Damage so extremely, that it basically is all she has. I tried building her as a Bruiser, went 3/0 in Lane consistently due to the great early Levels, and proceeded to be completely useless, unable to challenge any ADC or Mage due to lacking any Damage. So I gave up on her again. I thought going from Assassin to Fighter was a fair Compromise. I didn't want to play her as a Tank, because she doesn't have much CC or Utility to speak of, so I discarded that Possibility. But now seeing, that going from Assassin to literal Tank would have been the Solution... damn. I might try her out again. Just wanting to say though: Should they nerf her Healing, I expect Rek'Sai to be severely underpowered. Her Rework took away so much Damage, which the follow-up Patch didn't restore sufficiently IMO (I think her Passive, Tunnels & AoE Knockup were the main good Changes for her Rework, the empowered E is laughable now in Comparison). So if an upcoming Passive-nerf takes away her Sustain, I figure her WR will drop drastically. That being said, why doesn't Riot want her to be played Top? Every Champ gets Adjustments to be played in the Jungle as well, but for Rek'Sai they just say: "But we don't want that!"?

This champ is really a failure all along the line riot struggles to play it as a bruiser and not assasin as a result we don't even play it in jng and tank in outsustain which was nerfed precisely 6 months ago when we played it with hulbreaker

If you're relying on heal sustain, isn't it better to have revitalize instead?

원브올이 독을풀었다

another dobby deep cut

nerfed? she deserved a buff, looks how much skill it took just to have a fraction of others

Why do full tank builds have to do so much damage as well wtf

WTF is that Karthus doing?

He falls off vs Gwen

At 8:55 built cleaver vs 4 squishy hmm

Does sett counter this? Cause when reksai tries to disengage he can just pull back and shield to out trade imo

bruiser rek sai top is much better than tank

Lane Tank Rek'Sai abusing sustain from Second Wind, DShield and her passive, #NotMyRekSai

9:22 Ashe jungle?

6:50 wait what was that range????

give back my true damage

Reksai back to toplane again LMAO

The actual healing itself won't be nerfed, as Phreak literally stated that he will just nerf rage gained from hitting minions if topsai becomes a thing. That being said I hope we get incentive to build damage again soon because even with a damage build it feels like she doesn't do any.

Can u make a tank azir one 😩😩

Season 4 is back bois!
