Based on 56 recent matches analyzed, Rell wins with a 52.7% win rate compared to Alistar's 47.3%, giving Rell a 5.5 percentage point advantage. Rell dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
