It's often tempting to get set into a certain build order, but it's important to adapt to the situation. If you're losing lane, building damage won't often help you turn the tide since your opponent will just be buying more. As Balls says here, going tanky will usually be the most helpful to your team.

@RiotKatana @C9Balls @CrsQuas @Cloud9gg @TeamCurseGaming @SKGaming @lolesports push lane and play aggressive, create pressure in lane phase.

— Simon Payne (@SKfredy122) August 21, 2014

If you're used to more defensive top laners, Renekton might be a bit of a difficult transition. As Fredy points out, pushing and bullying during the laning phase is the best way to maintain an advantage. As long as you have wards, you should be able to safely play forward thanks to the added escape from slice and dice.

@RiotKatana @C9Balls @SKfredy122 @Cloud9gg @TeamCurseGaming @SKGaming @lolesports make sure you use your fury on ur Q when fighting in lane

— Diego Ruiz (@CrsQuas) August 21, 2014

Quas' tip is about fury management, one of the more difficult aspects of playing Renekton. Using the empowered spell on your Q during trades can greatly increase your damage (as seconded by Scarizard the Gator Lord).

@RiotKatana To escape ganks, slice into the ganking opponent from river and then dice. This effectively takes your lane out of the fight.

— Dylan Hornibrook (@CoC_Pepitas) August 20, 2014

Dylan Hornibrook gives a great tip for escaping from ganks. Usually when a jungler shows up, the first instinct is to run straight to your tower. This is often effective, but jumping at the enemy jungler can actually take you further away from danger if you catch him while he's still in the river.

@RiotKatana All of his abilities reset his auto attack timer, so weave attacks between uses when going all in for maximum damage

— DeClawd (@DeClawd) August 20, 2014

DeClawd's tip focuses on sustained damage in trades and engages. By using your spells to reset autos and auto attacking in between each, you can get much more burst damage. Particularly early on in the laning phase, this can swing trades your way and push the enemy out of lane. Vote for next week's Pro Tip to help decide which pros will weigh in on Elise!
