The Hidden Top Rell One-Trick in KR Masters 

Well, she's really niche. And when you're as niche as skarner, you get reworked.

@@EruCoolGuy I played a lot of skarner top. He can be played top or jg with relatively little problem. Rell needs this rework MUCH more than he does.

@@rolay7730 my guy skarner has a 0.2 percent oickrate because his kit is sooo disfunctional

@@veryoriginalname2515 I would still say Rell is a worse design.

@@rolay7730 at least she has more than pne usable ability and her abilities have a nice synergy, skarner is litterally 3 bad abilities and a cc ult

i dont think anyone does. shes like one of the few champs in the game who have abilities that dont work without allies

@@HeadRedShot alot of people do a metal bending tank with a giant horse would be fun top people wanna see her reworked to be able to function alone in top lane

@@HeadRedShot everyone WANTS her to be a top champ but her abilities make her so she has to play support Keyword: WANTS

@@zodiaczap3285 soooo you just want her top because of the aesthetic? sorry to break it to you but if we went by that logic like half of the champs in the game would not be played in their roles

@@HeadRedShot I mean not just that, riot did her so dirty. In her lore she is probably one of the most powerful mages we've seen, she can locate metals deep beneath the earth, super heat armor to melting points, and she is a support that does no damage, and only offers cc.

i legit can't play rell or watch anything of her dismounted without bursting into laughter, it looks like she shit herself and is forced to walk in it the entire game by riot as punishment..

Skarner belongs in the grave, leave him alone.

NA top is a isolated island 🏝. Besides when the enemy top jungle are duo lol

This

"they will be baited all the time even in high elo" if i got a dollar every time baus was 1 hp and had w up under tower, and the enemy top laner and or jungler was baited for it and die, i would be filthy rich. Don't see it as much in NA.

It’s probably not the champ or whether you main it or not. It might be the lack of game knowledge but you will learn the more you play. You got it king 👍

Try turning on monitor

@@bartek5549 try touching grass. Oh wait….

they climbed with other champs and just sustain masters with 1000 games 50% winrate

@@ebile i think if they can sustain 50% at a rank with that champ, they could have climbed in lower ranks anyway, maybe slower but still.

Kinda sus ngl

i see a lot of players reach challenger after being hardstuck gold for 3 seasons

@@sarunightamber701 really? how many?

@@Lrdm19 its not, players simply put more dedication into the game in some season, free time IRL, new champ they like, etc

@@gara8142 like eight or nine, all of them played yi, bc i otp yi and i was looking for better yis, but they are not on the ranking anymore

It did work for me. I usualy try to play quite safe until I get my hands on a demonic embrace. Rell's Q becomes a decent poking tool. Works especialy well against brawlers. And it helps a ton with pushing the wave. After that I usualy build a lot of tanking items. But then again, I'm no Master. Though I suggest trying the demonic embrace. It's really efficient. It allows for a much more aggressive laning phase after the first item.

I love her theme and lore and VO but it's just so hard to force a champ designed so narrowly for a tank support cc bot like that into a solo lane, for me pure pain.

Alistar's old kit was more reflective of this w/ bonus AD on his ult, a hefty self heal, and ap/ad bruiser scaling similar to the old Sion kit. Riot employees are bipolar now. Locking champions into roles after making that whole spiel about not locking champions into certain roles. I think the jungle changes were the beginnings of the end. Or, perhaps, ever since they introduced support items.

@@I_Am_Empyrean i wish they didn't remove that. Ali could've been a decent toplaner from that alone. I mean he still can be but I honestly don't feel like building another tank that only does magic dmg.

People keep bringing this point up again and again, the she should not be locked to support because she was forcefully trained to be a soldier, It's not hard to see someone who was forced to kill their peers in training to become a tool of war and escapes from that would vow to use their powers to protect instead...

@@asnalem4391 but at the same time she should be allowed to be able to stand on her own given the skillsets that was forcefully ingrained in her. Protecting someone doesn't purely mean using skills defensively, sometimes it can be used proactively (you know best defense is a good offense). Just look at Pyke. He's a prime example of a role that was shoehorn to support but can kill a carry on his own if given the resources. A support, unless he/she is an enchanter, should be given the means to be a threat to an adc especially early-mid game.

@@asnalem4391 that’s not the point tho, in the lord she is literally being trained to kill mordekaiser who is a top laner

Since in laning phase, her goal is to bait and wait for ganks so she can just give up her early cs to avoid being ran down

Rell autos steal armour and mr so that with grasp you're gaining more hp and doing more damage while being tanky yourself

minions would fuck her up. rell used W in middle of the lane and instantly started walking back to her side at the start of the lane, so most minions were still alive and out of irelia's Q range. plus because rell's passive takes some of irelia's armor for herself, the outcome of irelia walking into rell's wave would always end up as a bad trade given rell takes less damage from both melees and irelia (who isnt full stack) while irelia would take a ton of damage from the casters with the reduced armor.

because Irelia didn't have her passive stacked up?

no passive, if she starts auto'ing the rell without having her passive, she will take too much damage from mininos. You see rell back off after she gets 3 stacks and there are no more minions left.

who asked cringer

@@solitudence what?

@@solitudence I apologise for simply typing my overjoyed comment on one of the youtube channels that has helped me learn loads of tricks and mechanics on league of legends. I know that I might not be as skilled as whoever you are but I know for a fact that your parents has never loved you as a child. Cya never mate.

@@panzerbuster556 Don't answer to people like this the way they talk to you. Love your enemies. His parents probably loved him, he's probably just fed up with his own life.

@@panzerbuster556 |

I'll also add that everything you say in the video il literally how i figured out after like 15/20 game how to play here, but in mid its kinda different.

Very true. Any champ in any role can work as long as you can find its effectiveness. That's why there are so many champs played in the Support role who can climb to GM, and Support champs going to other lanes and find their success so often to the point of getting nerfed. Success will never find you in competitive games, especially if you follow a meta that other people created for themselves and already know how to counter. You have to develop it yourself.

Everything can be played any lane if you're good enough. Lourlo the NA Amateur toplaner did an A-Z challenge and ended in Masters. He lost more games on GP than he did on fake toplaners lol.

Just a worse leona/naut

@@vrmax1919 yep, maybe riot should just rework her into a jungler. We already have sun lady and a huge ass hooker in botlane

@@vrmax1919 She is kinda good actually. I think no one plays her just cos her melee form feels and looks like shit, especially when someone disrupts her W. Also she is kinda boring, she has to do W+R+E and then she is just useless for 7 seconds, can't chase and permastun enemies like Leona

@@beardyjesus4591 u just stated all the reasons why she isn't good, she's bad and she feels bad to play so no point in using her

@@beardyjesus4591 as i said her crash down and dismount is just a worse leo stun not to mention her ult is kinda shit everybody and thier mother has a dash or someting to get out of her ult

Yeah her e should work the same way tarics does, where you can use it on your own or attached to an ally

@@Richard-rj9ki a on command stun would be insanely broken if it worked by itself.

Yeah, you cant make a literal top lane champion and then make them go support. Literally gives her the look of a top lane solo tank, then gives her the kit of a support. I mean the e and the q(q got nerfed so hard to make it a heal) are literally MADE for the support role while the w is flexible(you can never say no to a good engage on a toplaner) and the R is rells identity currently. IMO they could have made a q be better for just using it other than a heal and make an e which works on creeps or maybe even solo. They could have made her like tahm kench but sadly she is just a support

Nope I hope riot doesn’t change her into a toplane champion

@@Ferdii-sj6bl hope they do

I actually prefer her jg. Her ganks are legendary. But as she's designed for support her numbers will not deal damage and she's pure cc. That's the problem.

Wow, insulting every tank support main like that :(

Sounds about iron, yes :D

Being a blamer isn't the solution , just play with the rest of the team and report him after game , I mean the players are the same so whats the point of reporting the thing is just Stay cool and u will win more games

He also said that you don't need good cs, you still play a cc tank, you will become tanky. As long as you don't hardcore feed the enemy Top Laner. U Dont need a Jungler to win the Game with Rell Top Lane.

@@LRatio69 It's not "being a blamer", its just the reality. When You pick a utility-based toplaner, jungle makes or breaks Your game. No problem if he snowballs other lanes or himself somewhere else... But if You get a game where jungler keeps going bot and dying there, and You're playing some utility top like Rell or Zilean... Yeah, You aint winning that game.

He is not the one climbing, rell is.

this made me rapidly breath through my breath nose

Too bad i dont have time to play hundreds of matches per month

@@gabrielbaieel8073 well don't have to, if you want to just get gold rewards those are very obtainable.

55% winrate as otp Rell I can relate

Sejuani sounds pretty cool too , Playing tanks is so fun specially When u have a cool teammates

@@LRatio69 well ,i played already sejuani top before it was playable,she can take good short trades and her e has a lot of damage.but there are even more tanks,maybe maokai will do comeback one day.

As long as you are on the enemy team i could use some free lp

@@vrmax1919 i don't play ranked

X9 top.

doesn't really matter does it , 10-0 rell is really tanky , does no damage and CCs a lot 0-0 rell is really tanky does no damage and CCs a lot I'd just be happy my toplaner isn't giving kills to some viable champ that can stomp the game with the gold lead

I went 16 victory in a row with rell top, I love her so much but haven't played her since the durability update

I played her once on top in ranked game against Pantheon. Dude complained a lot about her damage (XDDDD I KNOW HOW FUNNY IT IS). After his forth death he decided to go midlane. His teammates got mad and wanted us to rep him for troll. We won this game.

I saw this video and decided to do it and absolutely stomped a Tahm Kench. Baited them into tower and so on and perma cc'd and destroyed his shield when he tried to do it. Kinda nutty

the video : showing rell kill players with 80% of their health being removed by towershots* small difference

@@voidroad still 1v1

@@JoJoFlowers566 its 2v1

pretty sure Seth got 1v1 .ç.

@@Naruzakun A 1v1 with either tower or a health difference is not a 1v1. Especially not a fair one. Rell only wins the fights by abusing bad decisions, like them tower diving her or fighting her at low health.

They just need to improve her scaling and her as

i have seen rell top (2) more times than ive seen rell support (1)

she's canonically supposed to beat mordekaiser by the way

@@chilla6984 I mean she can be good against heavy shields like Mordecai, Frog, or shildbow abusers

You are truly delusional if you see rell as a toplaner, literally 2 parts of her kit(q heal and e ) don't work without an ally, aside from the fact she deals no damage and she is a cc specialist like leona. And her desing was made as a teenager who is a prptector of the innocents against the noxus empire and the balck rose with trust issues, that's why she was made a support

Ban Mundo, easy.

@@Shaco. nasus says hi

@@Shaco. lots of farmer tops who will just afk farm until their jg comes along to dive u with 3 waves crashing. even ranged tops will do this for free.

maybe he has efficient comms in draft so he tricks enemies with a flex rell for support of first pick could see that work here too that way

yeah, just freeze the wave and she can't use her w to run cause then she's dismounted and too slow to run

Thank you so much, have a nice day

As I try both, I feel like it's a lot different. Problem with Rell is her wave clear is absolutely terrible, while Alistar isn't, and Aliatar has a lot more solo killing potential. Also Rell's short trade isn't easy as Alistar.

@@poom323 Yeah exactly they are pretty similar but a bit different at the same time

If she have an badass skin she would.

@@AgentYellowWang you mean skillset. She is quite boring to play

@@PaladineAvenger1 if she have a skin that have the same helmet as iron inquisitior kayle I would play her.

most annoying piece of shit champ and borderline impossible to lane against with low mobility adc, but people doesn't care about champions with drawback for being greedy and rather all in as yone hoping one day it will work out in their favour

Okay, I'll check it
