Rek'Sai

They were.

For those of you that don't remember that individual game, that was when they did the Draven lane swap to top side to play against the Rek'Sai.

And Doran got exploded by Doggo's Draven in the early stages of the game.

The game snowballed from that.

I felt like they were very, very strong, actually, so...

Maybe if the Rek'Sai didn't dive, like, 3 on mid, maybe things would have been different.

But I felt like this year, definitely not as strong.

So I would say Gen.G. Yeah, I also think it's Gen.G. Yeah.

I still actually build Stridebreaker.

I als- I love Stridebreaker first item on Rek'Sai, to, to be honest as well.

Yeah.

But it's more for the, the passive.

Yeah, the...

Ah, this one ag- this one as well, because what I build against, champs that do true damage.

So Rek'Sai, uh, Cho'Gath, they can kind of one-shot you.

Because if you look at the way I build on Bel'Veth, I'm building very much resistance-based, right? So I'm using my resistances so I don't have to build HP.

That's what I get out.

It's got like Rek'Sai.

Yeah.

And I think part of the reason why that happens, Nathan, is the mental, it's a psychological aspect, right? When you're versing the Shyvana, you do feel a bit more pressured to do shit in the game.

The thing that catches my attention the most about Mord is that he is gonna be very unique as far as the representation in these domains.

Because historically, when you think about combining order and angie, you are usually thinking about either just, like, very aggressive decks or hook decks, right? Whether it's, you know, early Darius hook, trying to take advantage of legion, uh, current Rek'Sai decks where, you know, again, you're, you're kinda just doing the unit spam stuff or whatever.

But the fact that this one doesn't take a lane...

So, like, with Rek'Sai, you're just also trying to extend your hand with the Rek'Sai ability.

In the hook decks, you're, you're building around your, uh, might curve, and you're also kind of building around the, the power costs because you don't have a way to pay for that.

But you're also kind of building around your, your trash, right? Cards like Matron, for example, have been staples in hook decks.

Um, I-

I don't know about you, but I always like playing Rek'Sai into it.

Oh, yeah.

But I-

Rek'Sai and Lee is good.

I don't know if I would do it in competitive, but like [laughs]

Yeah, I, I wasn't gonna suggest it-

Yeah

it's not hard to play.

I would say the challenge is more that you have, it's like the same, it's the same, I would say, as a Rek'Sai or a Fiddlesticks or a Zac.

It's not hard mechanically.

But it creates so many opportunities that if you don't take the creative ganks, then you're just missing out on your champion's potential.

Like that's the late game comes from soul.

Like same as like, there's a lot of champions that fall off crazy.

Like for example, Rek'Sai.

I know you're a big Rek'Sai player.
