    A bunch of you really enjoyed the Reina ranked games so I figured it was about time I pull up with some more ranked gameplay on my main. If only I knew the pain that was waiting for me...

    Lotus there are some strings in this game designed as whiff punish baits. They whiff but quickly go into another move and normally close a good distance.
    Another designed usage for power crush outside stealing turns and getting out of pressure is to guarantee a whiff punish on these moves that might otherwise clip you.
