No cap, if Riot doesn’t want to release a new support anytime soon, they could very easily open up an existing champ instead of forcing mages bot every year.

Rek’Sai is honestly a perfect candidate.

She already has:

Natural tank fantasy (old Rek’Sai especially)

Zone control

Anti-dive tools

Strong early presence without needing gold scaling

Core Idea

Shift Rek’Sai’s power away from long-lasting tunnel economy and into ally protection, specifically as a Void vanguard / bodyguard support.

Key Change Proposal

Shorten burrow-E chasm duration

Long tunnel duration barely matters for jungle Rek’Sai

It mostly just gives the enemy free gold + vision

Jungle Rek’Sai uses tunnels for initial engage, not repeat pathing

The “tunnel back to fight” benefit is negligible (tiny speed gain at best)

This is basically cutting illusionary power, not real power.

What That Power Pays For

Use that freed power budget to make Burrow interact with allies, something like:

Damage reduction or partial damage redirection to Rek’Sai

Tenacity / slow resist while near her

Fury-based self-healing while protecting a linked ally

Think Knight’s Vow / Braum bodyguard, but Void-flavored.

Why Jungle Rek’Sai Doesn’t Care

Jungle Rek’Sai wins fights on first contact

Long tunnel duration almost never decides outcomes

Shorter chasms barely affect ganks, clears, or pressure

Support Rek’Sai benefits massively because chasms stop being a liability

Why This Is Healthy

No new champ required

No forced mage support

Clear role separation:

Jungle = engage + disruption

Support = frontline peel + anti-dive

Adds a true Void support, which doesn’t exist right now

TL;DR

Nerf chasm duration (low impact for jungle)

Add ally-protection power while burrowed

Rek’Sai becomes a legitimate tank support without breaking her jungle role

Honestly feels like the cleanest mid-scope idea Riot could do instead of another year of “just play mage supports lol.”

The only obvious concern is Rek’Sai retaining assassin-level damage. That’s solvable by keeping high AD scaling but trimming base damage, making her kill tools jungle-reliant while burrowed power shifts toward ally protection.
