Playing Renekton leads to depression

As I stand there, looking at enemy champions instagib burst me through my near-full-tank build, unable to do anything, and just watch myself die over and over again. I begin thinking to myself. What am I doing with my life? Basically the same thing Renekton is doing with his life. Walking around in circles, going nowhere, and then dying, futilely, pathetically, with absolutely no ability to do a damn thing about it as everybody else laughs at me.

The same goes for pretty much every other non-hyper-mobile champion in the game.

Fun game Riot I make sure to recommend your game to everyone I meet online. Well, not everyone. Only the people I absolutely hate, actually.

Renekton is hardly an immobile champion. And he's far too durable to be instagibbed if you built any tank items at all.

And, honestly? I have no sympathy. Renekton instagibs squishies with a Sterak's and Ravenous, and is an incredibly annoying lane bully. He kinda deserves to get CC-locked and his ass beat in, because his laning is a ton of dashing in, stunning, dashing out, then healing, all before they can do anything against you except maybe a single auto on the way in.

He has 2 dashes and a stun. I think you should play maokai or other tanks if you go full tank. Renekton is more bruiser

Think of it as karma when Renekton was doing the same to others.

imagine the hate i felt when i was playing sion and kindred was killing my tower, hopping around it in circles while i missed every ability, and then she proceeded to start killing me after it was dead, forcing me to use my ult to run away, barely surviving

Except Renekton has the strongest laning phase in the game.

Playing any melee other than Darius Illaoi Garen into renek is also depressing af so theres that

Renekton’s pretty damn strong, especially with the recent Electrocute changes. And the Ignite buff.

Of course, he falls off a cliff since he is melee with only a slow, short dash and no %HP damage. But that really doesn’t matter in this meta of games that end before anyone finishes their third item.

Renekton really should only lose early to 200 IQ people who build Bork and some HP. You just have to be careful of ganks pre 6 since you don’t have TP. If you die even once in lane, then it’s all over.

Renekton takes skill to play during the later parts of the game. You need to rethink how you approach teamfights.
