How to play Rell in ARAM Mayhem

Rell is a strong pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier A, #18 of 173 champions, with a 53.3% win rate over 1,149,926 games.

Rell's damage is mixed (40% physical, 52% magic), which makes it awkward for the enemy team to itemize against. It soaks 74,458 damage per game and mitigates another 130,820, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't. With 54 seconds of crowd control per game it is one of the team's main sources of lockdown.

The Tank build, tank items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Heartsteel, Unending Despair and Warmog's Armor, with a 53.3% win rate over 853,749 games. On this build 54% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Rell are Infinite Recursion, Armored Impact and Forged By The Master. Cards built around ability haste fill most of the top of its list, followed by health and resistances. Skip Poltergeist and From Beginning To End when you can: they do worst on Rell. A pair to look for: Infinite Recursion with Armored Impact.

Take Flash and Mark (96% of players). Max W (Ferromancy: Crash Down) first, then E, then Q.
