How do I deal with Neeko top as Renekton?

Juice··8 votes·6,863 views

Tell me Riot?

Why don't you consider top lane when you make these champions?

There's legitimately nothing a Renekton can do to kill a Neeko 1v1, NOTHING.

And I mean that even if Neeko is silver and the Renekton is Challenger

Unless the challenger last hits so well that after 20 minutes he can just flash and 1 shot the stupid champion, there is nothing he can do.

Renekton presses E into Neeko, neeko becomes invisible and splits gaining movement speed buff, renekton is stuck and can't even hit her with his Q , what's Renekton supposed to do ?

What a fucking bullshit, this is worse than Vladimir's pool.

Ban her, dodge, get a bigger champ pool, or pray for nerfs. Good luck!

Neeko is super annoying and abusing so many lanes rn

I hear Apex legends is good maybe play that until they fix it, cause there ain't no way to play against it only not play against it. Unless your confident that riven won't be picked if you ban neeko instead of her.

Is this some kind of fucking joke? Is this what the community has become? So Neeko should be nerfed because you can't handle her with Renekton? You know what that is called? COUNTERPICKING. Some champs ARE by nature strong against some other champs. That's how this game works. Someone pick a champ, and you pick someone that counter that champ.

Name 1 melee champion who can deal with Neeko and name 1 champion who counters Neeko same way she counters 90% of the melees ? I'm waiting

Garen

Farm, rush item 3065 , she deals no damage once its finished, and a well timed W ignores her snare so you can attack her, who cares if she goes invis press E and do your best to predict where she is.

Garen into Neeko? Wow I wonder what could possibly go wrong in picking an immobile melee champion into a kiting poke lane bully mage?

Do you also suggest I counterpick Teemo with Garen? Also how is spirit visage gonna help exactly against botrk and guinsoo?

At least Neeko will lifesteal all your E damage, lol, am I right? That is, if you can reach her to begin with. I love coming on these forums tbh

Friend me. I'll play Garen, you play Neeko.

First to 100Cs or Tower.

Except neeko top goes on hit and not AP.

Except ALL neekos abilites deal magic damage and THAT is how she is a lane bully in the early game.

Fizz is technically melee just not a common top and counters her cus he just w q and by then shell go in his u e and then land on both clones for a easy trade u can always q and e out of her roots as she applies them too and once you hit 6 as fizz you ult and it don't matter if she goes invis as long as u hit it will still punish her and let you combo easily. One thing I like to do since I know I never get ganks when I top from my jg I ask if I can last pick so I can always counter and if its neeko top I go panth or fizz.

Juice1 votes

I see, does her clone not block Fizz ulti? And I was thinking about Pantheon as well, he's my go-to pick against these ranged cancers such as Gnar / Kennen / Jayce / Teemo etc

She is the same as LeBlanc in the clone sense if you fizz ult from a place she has no vision or if she isn't expecting it she becomes screwed since her clone won't suddenly save her from fizz ult which is latched onto the real one. Its like marking the real shaco with press the attack on adcs before he clones to know which one is real afterwards except with fizz ult it's a skillshot that has cc and high damage and an unfair ult cd. Albeit if she somehow is a god (or scripting) and clones right before or as you ult as fizz in the direction towards you the clone will run into fizz ult blocking it. But to be that insane every time fizz ults is impossible or cheating especially if she doesn't have vision in bushes.

Also yeah ranged tops are annoying and I know they are so I only play them either when I need a win and got filled top or when I wanna play a hell of a teemo game. For some reason I own all but one of his skins, I get so many of them from hextech chests. Same with trist skins and ziggs hmm godamn yordles.

There is a difference between being counterpicked hard and straight up not being able to lane at all against a pick. Like take for example Vlad is supposed to be a big counter to Fizz, Zed and Yas Cus pool alone but all those champs can win if they just wait it out and roam. All those champs can still safely farm, push waves and last hit at the very least despite Vlad being aids for all of them. Renek and a while bunch of other champs can't even get near their own minion wave against a neeko on hit top.

I got slapped by a renekton once as neeko. I don't play him, so I don't know his abilities. All I know was that he dashed through a minion, stunned me, auto attacked me, and dashed away. And repeated till he was able to kill me. At level 6+ when he was fed, he'd just dash, stun, auto attack, ult, auto attack abilities etc.

This pretty much. You beat Neeko and any ranged champion top by hard core engaging on them at level 3. Theres next to nothing they can honestly do about it. Get mercs and run her down. ._. And let the wave sit on your side while you freeze because chances are your jungler will be there soon.

Juice2 votes

So to beat her 1v1 I have to engage at her everytime my E is off cooldown while also freezing and duoing with my jungler?

In other words impossible? Nice, thank you.

OtterlyLost3 votes

You can do either. Considering many people at higher elos play melee into ranged match up just fine fairly regularly, maybe you should see what they do. For the most part, what I see is they just run them down because they have lower base stats and defenses and limited means of escaping. They also freeze the wave outside of the tower to force them to over extend for the jungler to gank. They also also build for their lane; are they getting bullied by an AD Champion? Better get tabi. Are they getting kited and CC'd by an AP champion? OH look, there's a boot for that too called Merc treads.

In other words, hard matchups exist where you can't do anything?

Okay tell me Neeko's hard match ups where she can't do anything?

This is how you deal with her. Her W isn't a dash or anything. Wait till you have empowered Q and neeko has blown her E. You have about 9 seconds to E in Q and E out. Empowered Q damages both clone and champ. Then if she stays. W her if not E dash out. Rinse and repeat. That is basically what you so against any ranged champ. If AA poke is harsh try playing under tower and buy life steal first. Honestly I'd deal with a neeko 10 times over a mother fucking Quinn. That fucking champion is bullshit top. But the same applies to them.

You know it's really bad when even Renekton can't out burst a squishy.

Tell you what: Tell everyone else how to top Versus Renekton when playing one of the champions he absolutely counters.

News Flash: this is how league is designed. Play a passive lane and don't let her poke you. Bring the fight under your turret and wait for a jungler.

Name 1 champion and I'll tell you how to beat Renekton with him

There is no champion Renekton "absolutely" counters in this game

TahmKench Trundle Urgot

Juice2 votes

Tahm Kench destroys renekton. His early game is even stronger than Renek's, and he can just run Renekton down or survive him and then outscale him. Are you serious? You can literally 1 shot Renekton at lv3 with a couple autos, Q, W and ignite

When he E, throw your Q to slow him and then just follow him and maul him.

Trundle is even easier, lol, when he E into you prepare your Q to lower his AD instantly, at lv6 there is no way in hell Renekton can ever fight you, your ulti just destroys him

Urgot with the recent nerfs can't really deal with anyone atm

Rush tabi and a doran shield in all these match ups

I thought you'd tell me someone Renekton actually counters lol like Riven or Yasuo

Juice1 votes

Renekton is an AOE farming machine, he is way easier to gain CS advantage with using tiamat + aoe wave clear, he also sets up ganks easier and he is way more popular than any of those 3 champions, so we can assume the player playing renekton has way more games on renekton than the players playing tahm / trundle / urgot

Don't take statistics at face value, use logic and think about them

How do you deal with ten as wukong

Juice1 votes

How do you deal with anything as Wukong?

Don't pick a champion that's seen nothing but nerfs and wonder how to deal with a lane bully

But anyway a good Wukong will destroy a bad Renekton simply with knowing how and when to trade

A good Renekton will still lose / go even with a bad Neeko

XElite1091 votes

absolutely not, rennekton out you out heals you and out stat lines you. I'm actually ranked high as a wu top lane wu player and will still lose. only time you do well into ten is if he misses all his abilities otherwise you just lose out right

I can comfortably say that Renekton hard counters AurelionSol top. :P

You can still win as asol tho cus u just q as renek es in and walk away if he flashes u can just ult flash as a sol. Not a way to win just survive which is basically all a sol needs to do for early.

I dont think any of you nay sayers realize just how powerful Rageblade Neeko is.

Give it a shot. You'll change your tune real quick.

Honestly though, i think its more of a problem with Rageblade rather than Neeko herself.

I don't play Renekton, so I couldn't tell you. However I will say this post is ironic considering the type of champion Renekton happens to be.

I guess your best bet would be to get as much burst as possible and then flash on her with ignite?

Bloodrage Shadow2 votes

Ban her because she has next to no counters in top lane currently lol.

Quantum Obesity 2 votes

With what you said here if you just have to play Renekton you could just farm and play safe take tp to gank other lanes or try to shove lane when she’s not around and try and kill the jungler. But yeah just best to ban her or just have a pocket champ for just that matchup.

Unless the challenger last hits so well that after 20 minutes he can just flash and 1 shot the stupid champion, there is nothing he can do.

Renekton presses E into Neeko, neeko becomes invisible and splits gaining movement speed buff, renekton is stuck and can't even hit her with his Q , what's Renekton supposed to do ?

I mean that's pretty irritating but how is it different from any other ranged champ top with good kiting? Vayne Jayce Lissandra

Juice1 votes

Because those don't become invisible before lv6, all 3 of them can be poked down and all inned with a flash and ignite, not Neeko, she can dodge any poke

BobaFlautist1 votes

How do you poke those champions with Renekton that doesn't work with Neeko? I would imagine dash->Q, but any of those can pretty easily avoid that and Vayne/Jaycee will probably kill you if you double-dash and fail to stick to them

Guys we are looking over one VARY IMPORTANT detail. Olaf is a viable top laner. And Olaf is vary good against mage's.
