How to win lane as Thresh against Rell · 49.74% win rate over 6,606 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Thresh | Level 1 you out-range and out-poke Rell's melee, no-range kit. |
| Level 2 | Thresh | At 2 you hook or Flay her out of her telegraphed Crash Down leap. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 she gains her stun and re-engage, leveling it to skill. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 her short-range CC trades evenly against your hook. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 her Magnet Storm drag matches your peel - an even scrum. |
| First item | Even / skill | One item in her tankiness offsets your range for a skill matchup. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late, her durable dive versus your hook picks stays skill-decided. |
You control levels 1-2. Rell's only engage before 3 is her Crash Down leap, which has a clear windup you can Flay, hook, or simply walk around, and she has no ranged poke to contest you. Punish her every time she steps to CS with Death Sentence into E-flay, and your ADC converts before her armor-shred passive becomes relevant. Ward so her jungler can't gank into your aggressive positioning.
