Playing against Rell

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Rell is VERY slow after her engage (dismounted form): punish her when she's on foot.

2

Her engage is predictable (W charge): sidestep or Flash the knockup.

3

Spread out to avoid her R pull + E stun hitting multiple targets.

4

Focus her after her engage: in dismounted form, she can't move quickly.
