Communication is essential when Rell roams, as she can impact other lanes significantly. Coordinate with your team to track her movements and prevent successful ganks.
For optimal positioning, fight in open areas where your team can spread out, reducing the effectiveness of her Ultimate and engagement tools.
Hold defensive abilities until Rell commits to an engage, then use CC to counter her initiation attempts. This will leave her vulnerable and allow your team to focus her down effectively.
