Despite her clear weaknesses, clunky awkward kit and being severely understatted, I feel like her presence when reacting to group engages is one if not the best in the game right now.

A lot of people have been undermining her ability to peel stating that Braum and Alistar can just do that better in every way, but with a pull that can cover most gaps in the jungle, a knockup that covers twice the radius of Alistar's, and a stun that's always linked to your ADC for safety in case someone manages to slip past you, Rell feels like the answer to bum-rushes that this game always needed.

She's ridiculously squishy in her current state and her laning phase is pitiful, but her ability to create a CC barrier that enemies are unable to get past in teamfights is probably unmatched by any other Support in the game right now. It's been highly believed that she proves no actual purpose in the game right now and is just a worse Leona, but I personally think her potential still needs to be unlocked in the next few months, and that her specialization in stopping rushes is already pretty set in stone.
