Two Renekton issues: W and Fury delay.

Ranzear··1 votes·699 views

Two things bug me every time I play Renekton, and I've yet to see a redpost about either. It takes some effort to play around these issues:

  • Renekton's W, Ruthless Predator, is consumed by his next autoattack even if that autoattack is cancelled by the target dying or CC.

This is the more annoying of the two issues, but the less impactful. I've had to learn not to use his W as an AA reset, and I feel that's unintuitive. Garen's Q, with exactly the same bonus damage and CC on-hit mechanic, is retained if the autoattack is cancelled, but Renekton's gets burned uselessly if he so much as winds up for a swing. Worse, triggering the W on-hit implies he hit something, but getting cancelled by a minion dying as he winds up confirms it was used on a non-hit when you get denied the CS.

  • Renekton's fury bar is significantly delayed that you can use an ability, usually Cull The Meek, after an autoattack that would give you 50+ fury and yet not trigger the empowered attack.

This is less annoying, but I feel more impactful to fast and skillful Renekton play. There is a definite delay to Renekton gaining fury at times. You can autoattack with 45 fury and press Q soon after ... and end up with 50 fury and a normal cull being used. It seems to be worse on a W attack because you won't gain fury until the end of the animation, making the very desirable 15 or 22 fury of an empowered W wait until the end of the third swing and a reflexive Q fire before gaining it.
