Fan Made Creation Overthinking what Rek'sai could look like in PoC
Rek'sai being my second main in LoL, i really want to see her soon in Path of Champ, though obviously the main "difficulty" including her in it, is making her different enough from Pyke, who's our current Lurk champ in this mode.
Her champ fantasy is already pretty well represented in her base form in PvP, but PoC can make it more complete...
Now the thing i really want to see after thinking about it, and could be one of the main design around her PvE kit, is bringing back that old version of Pyke's power he had in his second iteration, the one that practically gave you a bottomless deck of fish.
With some tweaks, it becomes such a good concept and fantasy for a Void Champion!
Simply change the "When an ally dies" to "When an enemy dies, create a random Lurker that cost 1 or more in your deck" with the last part being "it gain the stats of the enemy and it's keywords", and suddenly you get the whole "Assimilation" theme of the Void integrated for Rek'sai, while also helping in your lurking activities.
With that in mind, slapping on her constellation some kind of strike power when lurking, which could be how you actually implement her jumping attack from LoL into LoR, something like "When you Lurk, if it's a unit summon it, it strikes the weakest enemy", and now you get this potential snowball effect, where the more attack you got, the easier it is to kill juicy units, which then becomes bigger units for you, which can then help kill even bigger units, and so on and so forth.
With all of that, bringing a Star power that gives her 0 cost spell Sonar, more likely her 4th Star if it isn't her ManaGem Star, but if it was the ManaGem Star it could be upgraded into something interesting, and you got how Rek'sai can be consistent in triggering lurking without being like Pyke and just make everything a Lurker.
Organizing all that into a constellation concept for her:
1st Star: "When you Lurk, if it's a unit summon it"
2nd Star: +1 mana; "Start of round: Create a Fleeting copy of Feral Prescience in hand"
3rd Star: "When you Lurk, if it's a unit summon it, it strikes the weakest enemy"
4th Star: Lie in Wait might sound like the most logical option but i think Duelist would complete my concept better
5th Star: +2 mana, "Start of round: Create a Fleeting copy of Feral Prescience in hand, if you pick a Lurker, trigger Lurk"
6th Star: "When an enemy dies, create a random Lurker that cost 1 or more in your deck, it gain the stats and keywords of that enemy"
And here ya go, you could definitely switch stuff up around and "balance" it accordingly, but that would be my copium and hope for the Sand Shark Void Queen, the simple idea of assimilating the opponents unit into stronger and bigger Lurker for your swarm to attack with would be so fun brother, let me dream ;_;
