Hello everyone, and thank you for taking time to read my guide. My hope is to give you the best information possible on the champion Rell so that you too, can be the best support you can be.

I am LilRidge and have been an NA support main ever since Season 8. I have been a Lux main for as long as I can remember and I have decided to switch paths and focus more on Rell as I believe she is stronger than she looks and fits my playstyle perfectly.

I have created this guide in order to inform you, the reader, in the best and most informative way possible on how to Rell, and how to play her well. Allowing all to understand how to lane, roam, ward, peel, teamfight, and position properly. As well as some in depth matchups for how to play against specific supports properly!

I have studied the art of support and refuse to deter from it because I believe that support has the biggest impact on the game as a whole. We supports go overlooked 24/7 but we know when we have done a job well.

If you have any questions about me, the guide, how to support, or just in general please feel free to contact me on discord!

Disclaimer

Rell is a reasonably easy champion to pick up and learn. Her kit is straightforward and easy to understand. She provides the tools to make or break an engagement during a team fight and remove those pesky shields that the enemy always seems to have.

If the enemy sees a Rell charging at them, they will run away in fear as you are M1 Abrams moving at Mach Jesus ready take them down is the most brutal way possible: lots of hard CC.

If you like horses, metal magic, jousting, and want to burn Noxus to the ground, then Rell is the champion for you!

Rell, unfortunately, is a very sad horse tamer as she was brutally experimented on when she was a child. She gets punished easily because of this trauma if you whiff an engage on the enemy.

She is predictable, meaning if you use an ability, the enemy will most likely see it and dodge it. Plus, due to the weight of her past, when she is dismounted, she is very slow. But she is stubborn, so she gets a free shield as a result.

Getting poked is never fun, especially when you are Rell. Rell has only one form of engagement, and if you get knocked up during this animation, you will stop in your tracks and deal no damage at all.

Champions and Abilities That Cancel Ferromancy

Be patient with Rell when wanting to engage by using the Lane Brushes. They help you immensely and make the enemy play safer and far away from your ADC.

Fighting in the jungle is your best bet for a great engagement. The jungle has tight channels that your ultimate cover completely, allowing very little wiggle room.

Peeling with your ultimate is easy as you pull enemies towards you and away from your carries while also allowing you to lane a good .

Using your aggressively is important as it will give you the best chance to get kills an win the game.

will ignore most forms of CC during the animation. So you can opt to Jump through the CC and come out unscathed.

can also jump over most terrain. Use this to your advantage as you can perform sneaky engages and quick disengages.

Roam with your Jungler when you have free time. When it is a 3v1 or a 3v2 in another lane, the odds are already in your favor!

Changing your form when roaming allows you to avoid vision and have a quicker travel time. Plus ganking a lane with is deadly.

Passable Terrain With Ferromancy

						Champion Select is one of the most critical parts of a game of League of Legends. Certain champions play very well together (have good synergy), and certain champions are outstanding when laning against others (counter those other champions). Each team needs to get a well-balanced team composition each game. Furthermore, champions in League of Legends differ significantly in the way they've played. Most players aren't comfortable playing more than a few champions within their role, and so if they aren't allowed to pick the champions that they're good at, their team can suffer. When picking Rell, you want a team composition that is purely focused on a teamfight; AOE abilities, abilities that damage multiple targets, etc. As your kit is all about grouping them all in a tight spot and holding them there for an extended time. An example composition can be seen on the left, as this team has many AOE abilities and can deal a lot of damage if they are all in a condensed area, which is where your ultimate Magnet Storm comes in handy as it groups them all. Rell is very flexible. Meaning you can choose Rell in a more "pick" oriented team composition as your abilities also suit this well. But you will find yourself most useful when your team's composition is focused on the teamfight. You must also be aware of what the emeny team picks because, as with every champion, you get countered too. If you are not able to perform solid engagements because you get denied the opportunity to do so by knock-ups or displacements, you will not be any use to your team as you will be prevented from using your abilities.

Flash

There is absolutely no reason for why you should not take Flash. It is just too valuable and too useful of a spell to not take. Most notably when you are attempting to pull off some devastating engages.

Ignite

Take Ignite 98% of the time. As gives early kill pressure in the lane and allows you to secure a kill by preventing the enemy from healing through your damage when they are low.

Exhaust

Only take Exhaust if you feel you will never be able to engage on the enemy often enough if not at all. As well as if they have an assassin like or on their team.

Your rune choices are another one of the most important parts of a game of league of legends. They can make or break your gameplay if not optimized correctly for your champion. Each champion has their own "standard" for runes which best suits their kit and their playstyle. Rell tends to be more of a tank engage so her runes will be fairly limited to the resolve tree with or . Since there is no "best" secondary rune tree when it comes to Rell. you would pick a tree based upon your own playstyle or how you wish to play her that game. In low-elo, it typically isn't the rune choice that will cause you to lose the game, but it does help to know which runes are best suited for certain situations and/or best fit your own personal playstyle. So each suitable option will be explained in short but sweet detail below.

			Guardian has one job. Make sure you an your ADC survive the landing phase. It provides a nice hefty shield when you take a certain amount of damage and the damage is instead taken by the shield. Really good for when the enemy team is a pick composition with assassins, and/or you will never land a solid engage.
			Aftershock is your main go-to rune for almost every situation. It provides you loads of armor and magic resist every time you immobilize (cc) an enemy champion. As well as dealing some damage based upon your bonus health. Whenever in doubt, take aftershock because you cannot go wrong with this rune on rell.

			Font of Life is to aid your team during engages as when you immobilize an enemy champion whey will heal for a percentage of your max health. This is typically taken with Aftershock
			Shield Bash is for quicker engagements as it will provide bonus damage on your next auto attack whenever you gain a new shield. You'd commonly take this with lanes who will try to do short trades and then back off.

			Conditioning is taken when you want to be tankier late game, and this could be for a couple reasons. you are the only tank, they have a lot of damage over time, or you are the primary front-line. you'd want to take this with Aftershock as these 2 stack well.
			Second Wind is more or less when the enemy team has a lot of poke champions and/or your lane has a lot of poke. This will ensure you heal back some, if not all, the damage that was dealt to you during engagements and the landing phase.
			Bone Plating is really useful when the enemy will look to all in you, e.g. use every ability in a short span of time. This is commonly done by assassins. Or champions with some form of binding, or engage, as they will often look to follow up with another ability, if not many more.

			Overgrowth Grants you bonus HP along with a 3.5% increase to allow you to better scale as a tank engage. Goes very well with Font of Life and is often taken with Aftershock because of its synergy.
			Revitalize will make your heals and shields bigger, especially when you are or your teammates are below 40% health. If you are not needed to be the primary tank. You could take this to gain a bigger shield during an engagement, increase healing from your Shattering Strike or if you take Font of Life.
			Unflinching means the lower you get, the harder you are to CC. Allotting you more time to protect your ADC and teammates rather than sit immobilized an unable to do nothing. Take this if the enemy team has a lot of CC, not including any form of knock-up.

			Triumph is best utilized when you are in extended engagements and land kills/assists on enemy champions. As it heals you for 12% of your missing health. it is also really useful for when you tower dive enemy champions.
			Legend: Tenacity is a must if you opt to go precision tree. providng up to 30% tenacity will make sure you are always in the fight more often than others. It also makes it so you do not have to build Mercury's Treads in favor for some other boots.

			Cheap Shot is really good for when you wish to do more damage to the enemy quicker. The extra true damage it provides makes sense with your kit as almost every ability has a form of CC, making it so you can always proc it.
			Ghost Poro is very similar to Zombie Ward, but it is far better for Rell because you attack very slow, making de-warding a bit tough. It provides some AP and will give a nice ping when an enemy walks near it. As an added bonus, poros are always cute.
			Ingenious Hunter is a preference as it will grant up to 35 ability haste to all your active items and trinkets. it is super useful for when you have small skirmishes is a short span of time as your actives will be up sooner. As well as de-warding with Oracle Lens
			Relentless Hunter promotes roaming and is a preference. The extra out of combat move speed it provides is a decent amount and gets buffed because of rell's ferromancy passive.

			Nimbus Cloak is a preference if you opt to flash on the enemy often as the sudden burst of movement speed will make engages far easier. It also makes disengages easier as well because of this extra movement speed.
			Transcendence is really useful for you lategame as your abilities have really long cooldowns, especially your W and E. The extra 10 ability haste makes a difference and 20% basic ability cd reduction on takedowns is phenomenal in teamfights.
			Celerity makes you move far faster than you normally would. This affects all bonus' you will have, which is your ferromancy passive, as well as an extra 1% move speed. Making engages easier and roaming much better because of this.

			Hextech Flashtraption is to perform sneaky engages on the enemy when your flash is down. You'd use this often in lane when hiding in brush and/or when engaging from out of vision to another lane.
			Biscuit Delivery will allow you to survive the landing phase by granting you 3 biscuits that restore 10% missing health and mana. This is really good for when the enemy lane is poke oriented.
			Cosmic Insight is a must because it is very valuable as a rune. it provides 15 summoner spell haste and 10 item haste. You'd take this if you go Hextech Flashtraption or wish to have your summoners and actives up far sooner than they normally would.

- Rell attacks very slowly but temporarily steals a portion of her target’s Armor and Magic Resist to deal bonus damage based on the amount stolen.

- Rell thrusts her lance forward, breaking any shields and damaging all enemies in a line.

If Rell has an ally bound with her , she and that ally recover health for each champion hit by this ability.

- Rell crashes down in her armor, briefly knocking up all enemies. Gaining additional armor and magic resist, and a large shield

- Rell mounts up, gaining a burst of speed and flips the next enemy she attacks



Full Tilt - Rell binds herself to an ally, granting them a portion of her Armor and Magic Resist. When an ally is bound, She can break the binding to stun enemies caught in it's area.



Magnet Storm - Rell erupts in magnetic fury, yanking nearby enemies toward her. She then creates a gravitational field around her, pulling nearby enemies in for a few seconds. The field doesn't interrupt her enemies’ other actions.

Q Flash Buffer

Q Flash is almost never practical enough to be used all the time. The only situation you would ever use it is if the enemy team has a shield, E.G. Mountain Soul, before a teamfight starts, or Morgana preemptively uses her Black Shield.

Basic Engage 1

This is a solid engage every time if you land your W Ferromancy - Crash Down. The enemy will be CC'd for approx 2 Seconds, your Q Shattering Strike denies them a shield if they have one. and that is almost enough time to burst them down with your allies. If you are expecting a shield like Immortal Shieldbow wait to Q.

Basic Engage 2

This is a Variation of Engage Combo 1. The only difference is that you are currently dismounted and are ready to go in by W Ferromancy: Mount Up and auto attacking an enemy.

Basic All-In

The best teamfight and lockdown engage you have to offer. Just W Ferromancy - Crash Down into the middle of the enemy team. R Magnet Storm, and now they are all now grouped together. make sure to try an auto the tankiest enemy once and then auto every other enemy champ for maximum dmg for your team and tank for yourself.

Full Shield Break All-In

The same thing applies with the Q Flash Buffer. Unless they have shields before the fight starts like Seraphine and her Surround Sound. There is almost no reason to do this.

Ultimate Flash All-In

This Combo really catches the enemy off guard. It is incredibly hard to react to this. Right as you Press R Magnet Storm, Immediately Flash. Then they will get pulled as if you were right on top of them. Towards the end, W Ferromancy - Crash Down onto yourself.

Bread and Butter

As per the name, The Bread and Butter combo is your go-to combo when you really want to wreak havoc on the enemy team, or a single enemy. the key is to W Ferromancy - Crash Down, then during the animation, R Magnet Storm in order to group them under your knock-up.

Items contain stats, skills, and bonuses that help your champion unlock its maximum potential in-game. Proper itemization is important, especially when facing a situation that is not ideal for the specific champion you’re using. Items will increase your champion’s kill pressure and/or help you survive longer in situations that will usually make you an easy target for the enemy team. The section below will aid you in knowing these details and will help you personalize what items you’ll use in the future and for what situation.

will always be your go to support item when starting a game. All of Rell's abilities scale off of AP, which was increased as of Patch 11.3. And the extra AP it does provide when it is fully upgraded does make a difference. It's much better versus it's counterpart considering your autos are very slow.

is for when the enemy team has 3+ auto attacking champions like , or , and/or is heavy AD.

is best built for anti-cc, e.g. when the enemy team has a lot of hard CC like; , , or and/or is heavy AP.

are highly valuable with rell. They give you movement similar to Moby's when mounted, and close to normal movement speed when dismounted. Also, has slow reduction for champions like , , and .

will make you an absolute monster for roaming. You may not be as fast as , but you can come pretty close.

are boots of value! Lots of CDR and Summoner Spell Haste. Meaning you can CC the enemy more times in a fight, or jump on those pesky stragglers who try to escape.

is the normal go-to for most engage supports. The reason being is whilst laning and team-fighting, you grant your allies Armor and MR by Locket's Passive Consecrate, and since you are most likely front lining the fight, You grant this to every ally. Also coming with a pretty big Uh-oh shield in case you and/or your team will die during the engage. you'd build locket the majority of the time if you don't know what to build or your team will always be looking to teamfight.

is the "let's go get them!" item. If the enemy team is, per say, going to poke you down then go in, like , , , or . this is the item to make sure you and your team get on top of them and force an engage before that happens. Shurelya's can also be used as a tactical retreat in case the engage didnt go well or your team is in a sticky position.

is similar to . Chemtank is best used when you are the only engage and the only one who can. This item allows you alone to get in close to the enemy team, slow them, and then lock them down for your team to be able to do work.

is if you are asked to be a bigger tank and at least do some damage whilst you are locking them down. Then Sunfire Aegis is where it's at. Although it offers your team little protection in the long run. it should only be built where your team needs a pure tank and you are the only one capable of building so. Locket grants enough survivability as it is and the majority of the time is the better option, but Sunfire allows you to burn them as they are all CC'd.

makes your designated ally redirect 15% of the damage they take to you instead. Knight's is purely a protect the carry item. Where as you designate the strongest ally who needs it, and you ensure their protection. You'd typically build this to protect your ADC but it can also be used to protect other team members who are strong.

is if you wanted an item that makes an auto attacking champion do more damage. The way Zeke's works is if you immobilize an enemy, your designated ally will do bonus magic damage. Preferably, you would build this if an ample champ on your team has fast autos to get the most damage possible. Some champs, for example, like , , , and are to name a few.

, although off-putting for rell, goes really well when built correctly. You'd build redemption to further prolong and strengthen your teamfights as you can just cast it on top of yourself whilst you . The 20% extra heal and shield power also helps to make your shield bigger.

is an Anti-heal item built to counter the enemy's healing. This Anti-Heal is increased when you immobilize and enemy champion. Thornmail can be built where their team has a lot of healing auto-attacking dependent champions like , , or . If there is a case where the enemy team has both AA dependent and Ability dependent healing, then I prefer to build Thornmail before any other item.

is for when enemy champions just attack way too fast. It's unique aura Cripples enemies, slowing their attack speed by 15%. Frozen heart also provides a nice chunk of armor and flat damage reduction based upon your max health. Its a very nice item to build when you are up against heavy auto attacking champions like , , and .

is very strong with your ultimate . Randuin's active slows enemies by 99% for 0.25 seconds and reduces their attack damage by 10% and critical damage by 20%. Randuin's is really good for when you need to reduce an enemy champs burst potential and crit damage. It also picks up when Frozen Heart just cant cut it for champions like , , and

is good at one thing, getting onto the enemy. What it does is it provides bonus movement speed based upon your "momentum." Dead Man's provides a far easier engage for both of your and is especially noticed with Rell's .

... makes you soo tanky. Granting a nice chunk of both Armor and MR and its passive increases your resistances by 5%, up to 25%, each time a champion inflicts damage to you. This item is built purely to make sure you don't die during your engage. Plus Gargoyle's active grants a massive shield to ensure you don't get bursted during your engage. This item works really well with your ultimate Magnet Storm as you just pop the active and now you have a huge shield.

hits 2 birds with one stone. Grants you more MR and health, and allows your team to do 10% more damage to those you CC due to its passive. Build this to make allies do more dmg and to make yourself take less from Magic Casters like , , or . Abyssal Mask Synergizes really with Rell's Ultimate .

provides you stacks of Movement Speed and MR when you take ability damage. It works really well for when the enemy looks to poke you down. Although it provides magic resistance, it is especially good for those long range casters like , , as well as .

is meant to do one thing, keep yourself alive. As a support this is a bit counterintuitive for your job, but you cant protect your team and your ADC if you are dead. So spirit visage is built to increase your own sustain and increase your shielding like your during engages. Most of the time you wont build this item unless your team needs a tank, and/or if your team has a healer.

When Laning, you are actively looking to engage on the enemy when the opportunity presents itself. Playing towards your side of the tower is key as it will give you a better engagement, prevent ganks, and allow room to run the enemy down. Be sure to actively ward and de-ward the lane brush as you will use them to your advantage.

Special Concepts

You do not have to roam if you do not want to. Roaming is a skill and a preference based upon the playstyle of the player. You will only want to roam if your ADC will be safe, another lane is pushed up, or your Jungler needs help. Aiding other lanes and your Jungler will always have a positive impact on the game and make it much easier.

Common Opportunities For Roaming

Warding as a support is an important task that often goes overlooked. It grants information to your team of the enemy’s movements and plan.
You will constantly want to keep vision of key areas like river or objectives. Key warding spots are in the image for reference and overall knowledge.

Ideas on When to Ward

filler

Mid Game

filler

The Mid Game starts as soon as the first tower goes down. When this happens you or the enemy will look to push their advantage to other lanes or secure objectives to further gain a lead in the game. Your goal during this it to Protect and Peel for your ADC, and mitigate the enemy's advantage the best you can. [/size]

filler

Objective Control
Baron Pit		Dragon Pit
	Knowing Objective Control is a must when it comes to being a support. All it entails is that you secure and deny vision before your team plans to take an objective, which can be seen in the respective images. Blue spots are for Blue team placements, Red Spots are for Red team placements, and yellow spots are for Control Wards. Securing vision before an objective allows your team to safely take such objective and know when the enemy looks to contest it.

filler

Positioning
	As Rell, you and you alone are your ADC's best line of defense. Where you are currently are, in respect to your team/ADC, dictates how a fight goes. The Image to the left shows an example position in which the entire enemy team looks to kill your ADC. I like to think of my ADC as an investment. I put so much time and work into them that I would hate to see them just die because it means I lose gold. As Rell, you are your ADC's Shield and should be willing to protect them at all costs. Sometimes this even means your own life, but if your ADC has a Bounty on their head. It is completely worth sacrificing yourself to save them.

filler

Peeling
Peeling is an art. It takes time to master and is hard to understand. The easiest way to think about what peeling is, is to think of it like keeping your ADC out of Danger. Your ADC at times, may not realize that they are in danger, or will really want to secure that kill on a low HP Lux. But sometimes it is too dangerous to do so and it is your job to let them know when it is. You can easily caution ping or DANGER ping your ADC to let them know when you feel that the situation is too dangerous for them to go in and is not worth their life. The other side of peeling is keeping enemy champions off/away from your ADC so that your ADC may do his/her thing and do damage.

filler

Late Game

filler

The Late Game is when all champions are starting to approach being full build. This means that a champion cannot buy anymore items because their inventory will be full. The purpose of the late game is very similar to the Mid Game. Protect and peel for your ADC/Team, secure objective, and push your advantage when you have it. Doing these will give you a better chance at that glorious victory screen once you destroy the enemy's Nexus

filler

Teamfights
	During a Teamfight, you have 3 jobs; Frontline for your team, protect them the best you can, and engage on the enemy. In the example situation to the left you are Blue Side and the enemy is Red Side. The enemy looks to take out your team's damage dealers in the Backline (behind the Blue line). Your job is to prevent this from happening and also look to engage on the enemy's backline (behind the Red line). Every teamfight is different and should be handled in the best way possible. Your own intuition should give you the right decision on how to handle the fight and take the best course of action. NOTE: You do not have to be the frontline if you are not needed to. You could opt to sit with your backline instead to make sure they do not get flanked by assassins.

Quick Access

Aphelios - Rating: 9/10

loves hard engage supports, and he really loves . your playstyle can revolve around him, which depends on what weapons he has equipped.

promotes poke and keeps him far away from the enemy whilst still damaging them.

allows him to freely dance around and chunk enemies you have cc'd while also healing him a decent amount.

gives you the easiest engage you could ask for. Slows and a root if he so chooses.

does massive damage in a teamfight, especially if you have all of them grouped together. this plus is instant death.

only works well if he is closer to the enemy. But if they can't move for 3 seconds, it's a lot of damage that he can output during that time.

Ashe - Rating 8/10

makes it so easy for you. Her slows just beg you to engage on the enemy. Plus hard CC for even more easy engages! what more could you ask?

The early laning phase is a breeze because she has so much range and ample peel for herself, makes it near impossible for the enemy to engage on you both.

Once Ashe gets 2 items, Preferably and , she will shred the enemy team in a full fight because your lockdown just allows her to do so much damage to make you wonder where'd they go?

She also is a relatively safe laner because of her which will grant vision anywhere on the map. So she can ensure it is safe for you to engage because her showed the enemy jungler topside.

Caitlyn - Rating: 6/10

has superior range and decent damage for follow up with

Her Q is guaranteed to hit them if they are stunned and this ability does a lot of damage to all enemies that are hit by it

is very annoying. but for you, it means they cant move even more when they are cc'd. if is close enough. She can lay down a trap where they are CC'd and it guarantee's a free headshot on the enemy.

Caitlyn isn't the best with because her kit focuses mainly on outranging the enemy and killing them before they have the chance.

Draven - Rating: 6/10

is a funny champion . he could either go really well with her or really bad. The reason being is that 's really messes with your combo's and most people who play him have a habit of doing so.

He just does so much damage early because of his but because of it's passive, he has to catch the axe which makes positioning on really hard and he will have a hard time following up on your engages unless he knows prior to you going in.

is the only ability that actually synergizes with . if you land a nice 5 man , can just ult over it for loads of damage. But it has to be an instant reaction because your ultimate doesn't last forever, and the has to re-cast his ability to call his axes back to him to deal double the damage.

Ezreal - Rating: 1/10

, is such a lacking laner and he favors duels more than he does teamfights. whereas really likes teamfights, and dislikes duels.

always wants to poke the enemy down first before going in. that is what his kit revolves around.

Personally, I would never play Rell with ezreal because any hard engage support with ezreal is most likely a mistake because of his "unique" playstyle in lane. E.G. playing safe and farming the lane. which is not what wants.

, probably the only ability that works really well with because if they are all grouped together by your its an easy ability to hit. But the downside is the cast time on Ez's ult because if he casts it late, it will likely not hit all of the enemeies.

Jhin - Rating: 6/10

is a very interesting champion with rell. His kit focus's more on short trades with 4th shot rather than extended trades. but it doesnt mean you can't play rell with him.

Since is a bursty champion you want to wait till he has everything is up before you go in.

his goes really well with you in teamfights, makes it easier to land an engage, and his traps will do a lot of damage if they cannot move from one particular spot for about 2 seconds.

and has the potential to work really well together if played right. But unless you are duo' d with your ADC and/or he knows how to follow up with you. I don't recommend playing with a as because there are far better options.

Jinx - Rating: 8/10

Everything has synergizes with , and it only gets better the longer the game becomes.

really hurts when she has a as that damage is sent to 2 other targets as well. and if they are grouped with they are most likely dead or trying to running away from the damage.

makes it easy to engage on the enemy that is hit by this ability. the slow is a nuisance and last for 2 seconds. which is more than enough time to react and land a solid engage.

is good for when you already CC'd them and jinx wants to make sure they don't run away before the fight even starts.

works great if they are all in one spot! But because this ability does more damage based upon their missing health, it shouldn't be used as the first ability to combo with you in a teamfight, but as a finisher.

Kai'Sa - Rating: 7/10

really likes supports that hard CC the enemy as it applies a stack of her passive in doing so.

She may not be much early game, but she sure can shred an entire team if she is allowed to. Especially since she builds almost every game.

Her really hurts if the target is by themselves, which means if you see a pick as and you are with . you most likely want to go take a peek.

She has such an easy follow up with . It grants her movement speed and bonus attack speed to be able to deal the most damage while she can in the skirmish.

Her follow up is even easier with because if you immobilize any champion with any ability. She can activate her ultimate to jump in the fight in an instant.

Kalista - Rating: 4/10

isn't in the best spot in the current meta right now. And because she lacks significant early game damage that you need from an ADC, she isn't the best pair with .

The only thing that offers that goes really well with is her ultimate , which throws you right in the middle of the enemy making it the easiest engage of your life.

This doesn't mean that can't do really well with in the late game. But because she is lacking in the early game, it is likely she will get punished by the enemy, and you are unlikely to ever see her potential at max.

Kog'maw - Rating: 2/10

needs a enchanter support, which is not ...

He is such a weak early laner picking him and together pretty much gives up the lane in champion select.

Late game he hurts, which is where will shine with him but you are almost never going to get there because of poor laning phase.

On the upside at least, his ultimate will really hurt if they cant move and are all grouped together.

If it is an AP mid lane, I would definitely consider picking because he will really hurt if they are all in one spot just asking to take an AOE ability.

Lucian - Rating: 8/10

is the king of aggressive ADC's which is exactly what asks for!

he can do so much damage because of his and follow up so easily because of his its like a match made in heaven.

If the enemy is all grouped together, 's really hurts because its a lot of guaranteed damage that can hit every champion in the right situation.

I Wish this lane would be the best, but it is unfortunately not because moves the enemies in weird ways because of her and her ultimate also pulls enemy minions with her, which negates 's ultimate which will make him very sad that half of his ultimate hit because there were minions in the way.

Miss Fortune - Rating: 9/10

and go beautifully together. It's Like a match made in heaven.

She makes the enemy want to play towards the side of the wave because of her , because if they play near the wave, this ability hurts... But if they play to the side, you have an easier time engaging on them because the are in an awkward position.

She can easily follow up on your engages because of her granting her bonus movement speed. Also, she can make it easy to engage with her . The slow really does a number on them and it's really hard to dodge any of 's abilities when they move slower.

just spells out death... + is brutal because the enemy can't move for 2 seconds. Making this their signature combo for laning and teamfights.

Samira - Rating: 6/10

would be rated higher if she didn't need to stack up her passive to get an off in a teamfight.

Her has really good follow up for when you engage on an enemy champion. All you have to do is land any form of CC in your kit and she can use this to quickly dash towards the enemy and CC them further, allotting more time for you to lock them in place.

is the easiest way for her to follow up on an engage with you. she just casts it on an enemy minion, champion or tower and she is now in the fight.

hurts... a lot. especially if she has a couple items on her belt. Your kit locks them in place long enough to make it super easy for her to stack up her passive in order to be able to cast her ultimate.

Senna - Rating: 5/10

's whole gimmick is that she needs to scale into the late game so that she can demolish an entire team with 2-3 auto attacks.

She does however give you the tools to survive and perform sneaky engages with on enemies.

Her damages enemies and heals you when you engage. allowing you to survive longer in fights.

gives an easy engage for you cause it gives you more than enough time to land on the enemy who is rooted and demolish them.

when used on top of your does a number on the enemy, while also providing you and the team a shield for the fight.

Since she lacks early and can get punished easily, it is not recommended to take with . But in the case that the lane will not look to punish either of you it can work.

can really hurt if they are all grouped together. And knows how to keep them all together...

has such an easy follow up on your engages with her . She can leap a mighty distance to get into the fight in case you are to far for her to attack from.

The one thing lacks is a good disengage, and 's provides really good disengage. It also serves as an execute if she has 3 stacks on her . Making sure the enemy stays dead.

does synergize well with because in enables your engage and grants free stacks of if used with your .

does work with your to an extent... It does group all of the enemies together. However they all need to be in a straight line in order for this ability to do damage to mass numbers. Which with it does not pull them close enough in order for to have a golden opportunity to hit every single enemy.

Unfortunately wishes more for an enchanter support like rather than a hard engage like .

Varus - Rating: 6/10

can go either a poke build, or a on-hit build. You as , really want him to go the on hit build. Because you want to have long extended trades with the enemies rather than jump in only for to throw a and do nothing else for the fight.

works beautifully with , because it is just enough time for the ability to root every champion in range and for to use and for loads of damage.\

provides an easy slow for you to engage and also could be used on top of to reduce their healing, regen, and ability to escape from your CC.

needs time to scale into the late game in order to do as much damage as he possibly can with on-hit. If he decides to go poke, your engage with him is doomed.

Vayne - Rating: 3/10

needs time to scale into the late game, but also, her kit does not go well with yours at all.

For starters, completely ruins your engage if she accidentally or intentionally uses it. just pushes the enemy too far back for you to even re-engage confidently.

The only benefit to this lane is for to follow up with you with her and her .

I would not recommend taking with ever in the bot lane as it spells out disaster for the both of you.

Xayah - Rating: 6/10

You have the tools to hold them in place long enough for to land a good and when there are enough feathers on the ground, this ability will hurt.

can also follow up fairly quickly with her as if she strikes an enemy champion, she will gain 30% Bonus move speed.

is mainly used defensively with as it will allow her to dodge abilities because she becomes untargetable. When used along side its a lot of damage when used in unison with .

Given this duo will take a lot of coordination to make work in lane is why is not rated higher than she currently is.

Yasuo - Rating: 6/10

and could go really well together, but lacks the early pressure and damage in lane as an ADC.

makes it really easy for to follow up on your engage as well as if he has his knock-up prepared, he could has into them to provide extra CC.

with your is nasty. The timing for this is really small so the has to be really quick to react to this or else he missed the gorgeous ultimate. Given he could also cast this on top of your as it also knocks enemies in the air for a brief time and is far easier to react to.

I would definitely look to pick if there is a on my team. He doesn't have to be ADC, but him and go well together if provided the right situation.

If one does land on you, move away from your ADC. He is going to look to throw another on you to stun you. When he is going to throw another on you, immediately engage on him as he will not be able to dodge your during the animation and the shield you will get will negate most of the damage.

The best time to engage is when his is down as it will allow him or his ADC to dodge your engage.

When hits 6, his ultimate is a burden for you. if he uses it do not kill the one afflicted and engage on other one who doesn't have it.

Keep the minion wave in the middle of the lane as it will prevent from poking you out from under tower.

Zyra - Difficulty: Major

's plants hurt when laning against her. Actively look to step on her pods to prevent them from becoming plants.

When you attempt to step on one of her pods, she will look to either or you. use this to your advantage and immediately engage on her.

The best time to engage is if her is down, as it is her only form of CC.

When hits 6, her ultimate will become a problem if used on you with plants around her. Look to play around this by destroying her pods before an engage as this ability will not do much to you then.

Keep the minion wave closer to your tower as has no ability to poke you with her plants as the tower will target her plants before minions.
