Someone tell me why Renekton...

Alot of champs can do the same and still be incredibly useful.

It's not just him

lol He is just like Tryndamere but he does it better. Once he gets static he will dive you and you will have to burn flash or a dodge skill. Renekton is a better team fighter, but who needs teamfighters when you have a run it down top champion who it does not matter if he is 0/10 he will still one shot you from all the gold he has been farming.

He doesn't really do much damage when he builds tanky and is behind. The risk is you're inevitably behind something like a cho'gath if you lose lane.

You can feel free to play renekton if you want in ranked, he's not the freelo you seem to think he is. He's a relatively safe laner, but he struggles to carry games unless he snowballs super hard.

He falls off throughout game though. He has lots of health but if he behind can be bursted although may take more than one player. But yea he is pretty mobile and good at fighting and dueling other tanks. But throughout the game it should get easier to fight him. I never really see Rene all that much and never really worry about him although I will admit he beat me up in lane yesterday. But I knew my team scaled better and by mid game he was useless.
