Rell
Matchup Summary
Detailed Tips
- 01
Level 1 Q or E Start - As mentioned through other notes, playing off Q and E both require different plays, however in this match up you can essentially do either of them and have pretty good success. Level 1 with Q you can also kill Rell if she is trying to be aggressive. With that said, play around the strengths of level 1 and look for a level 2 kill.
- 02
Play For Level 2/3 Kill Angle - Once you chunk out Rell you're most likely able to kill her with Your W, Dash or Flash up. Look to shove the wave around your kill timer, so you're able to make Rell lose a lot more.
- 03
Abuse Renekton's Early Game - In this match up Renekton is essentially able to do whatever he simply wants. With that said, really hone into your strong early to mid game strengths to help you dominate and win the game. Play to deny your enemy of gold and xp, play to proxy and generally lead any top side skirmishes with your insane lane advantage.
- 04
Play Waves Accordingly - Simply assess whether or not you want to play for freeze, to help you deny XP and CS, while presenting yourself more opportunities to create fights. Or, play to shove waves to create proxy angles, tempo resets or create a dive opportunity. Renekton has all the cards to do whatever he wants with wave management. Also respect that if your laner tries to proxy, simply proxy back or coordinate a kill on them with your jungler.
- 05
Heavy Trades - Heavy Trades - Being that Renekton carries a lot of high damage, Renekton is able to just jump on his target nearly at will. Whenever your laners present you with the ability to jump on them, simply take the opportunity to burst them as much as you can. If you didn't kill them already from that, use your options of freezing or your tower diving ability to help you finish off your opponent.
- 06
Respect Rell’s CC Combo - Rell’s only strength into Renekton is her overall CC capability, which can allow her to easily lock down and shut down her targets, in combination with her teammates' high burst damage picks. When playing vs Rell, try to always respect any roams from her teammates as that’s pretty much the only way to die vs her. Make sure to also use your dashes wisely to easily escape her engages and CC abilities.
- 07
Build Eclipse, Black Cleaver or BoTRK - Go Eclipse for consistent power through mid game and damage mitigation with the shield. / Go Black Cleaver for additional CDR and other versatile stats for utility based gameplay. / Go BoTRK to one shot and snowball with a damage focused build.
- 08
Mid Game + Teamfighting Tips - As previously mentioned, Rell’s only main strength as a pick is to look for skirmishes with her team, looking for a massive CC combo with her Q W R engage. As Rell operates as more of a front line engage carry, Rell’s options to peel for her carries will be a lot harder. Try to abuse her engages, by instantly looking to Flash or E onto a carry target with the objective of trying to one shot them. If you can one shot her carries she loses all value in being able to do anything, so make sure to hard abuse her committed engages with this playstyle.
