Rell Scaling: Grade B
Reasonably well, with conditions. Rell keeps real value at full build. Grade B, Okay late, in The Scaling Codex.
Reviewed for League of Legends Season 16 (2026).
Verdict. Gets outranged and kited later as a tank. Difficult to land the game-changing ultimate. Still baits flash later on at least.
The engage never stops demanding an answer
A crash-down entry that opens with crowd control means every full-build carry keeps a summoner spell or a dash reserved for her all game. That is a standing threat, and a Flash pulled before an objective is often the fight decided in advance.
The tank chassis is what ages
Late carries shoot from ranges she cannot cross for free, and armor does not stop her being walked backwards by a team that refuses to let her touch anyone.
Her magnetic ultimate wants her already standing inside their formation, which is a dangerous address at full build. Against a team that keeps spacing, she arrives at half health with an ultimate that pulls nobody.
Count the Flashes before you count the kills. An engage that only removed a summoner spell still did something, so use it at the objective.

How this grade was judged
The grade weighs range, target access, sustained and burst damage, crowd control, mobility, durability, healing and shielding, resets, cooldown structure, objective and formation control, split pressure, and how well the champion survives a long fight. Builds and forms that scale differently are graded separately. This is Vambient's gameplay evaluation of coordinated late-game fights, not a win-rate calculation. Full methodology.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches. How the grades are decided.
