In LoL Patch 14.4 Rek'Sai got multiple adjustments, but these led to some major bugs in her kit. Now Riot is going to fix them.
In League of Legends Patch 14.4, Riot made a huge list of changes to Rek'Sai. This was done to try and give her a chance to be a good champion even when building fighter items, but these adjustments haven't gone over too well.
With the massive list of changes, also came a lot of bugs, which Riot will now have to fix. In her current form she feels even worse than she did before the changes in Patch 14.4.
LoL Patch 14.5: Rek'Sai Adjustments Planned
Riot Phreak, a former LCS caster and now game designer on the League of Legends team has revealed on Twitter what the balance team will change to make Rek'Sai a playable champion again.
The community is not happy though, since he also stated that these changes should go live in 14.5, which means for two whole weeks Rek'Sai is going to feel bad to play.
The team is going to look to make Q-Auto Attack uncancellable. The Q-R cooldown should also be fixed in LoL Patch 14.5. Unburrowing should also not lock out autos. Spear of Shojin and Q interactions are also on the list of bug fixes.
Rek'Sai 14.5, pending QA:* Q-AA no longer cancelable.* Fixed Q-R cooldown without casting bug* Fixed unburrowing sometimes locking out autos* Fixed Spear of Shojin with Q* Speculative fix on non-dash "tunnel bug"Looking into Q-AA hit timings and buffs now

The list is long, with Phreak even saying taht they're looking into a fix for the non-dash "tunnel bug". There are also some issues with her skins which Riot should look into since the timing of her Q-empowered attacks differ with the skin animations.
Overall, these are a lot of changes Riot will have to ship, but they first have to be tested before they can be shipped, which is why they won't be added to hotfix it seems. Just please... make her playable again.
