I understand early game champions are supposed to be good at zoning

But how exactly is it fair that I take ~80% of my health, WITH A SHIELD when I step anywhere close to the minions 2 minutes into the game

It isn't only renekton who can do it, champions like Darius and Lee Sin can also almost kill you in one combo this early on

Think this is just the common thing of "Runes do too much damage". You took 50 damage from Press The Attack alone, THEN his following auto and Q do 8% bonus damage to you. More if he has Coup de Grace.

Also, patch 9.14 W "New Effect: When empowered with 50 Fury, destroys existing shields on the target before applying the damage and stun. "

Riot wants to lower the skill floor of the game. Doing so makes certain champions, like Renekton, busted.

You were already at 80% health, he only took 60%, not including the fact that his W isnta-destroys shields.

You use riven you kind of deserves. But yeah that thing is broken too.

why did you even walk up there? He had 50 fury and a level up on you. He was clearly looking for an opportunity to do that.

Because. Bruiser mains have managed to cry themselves into a situation where they are the only class that auto wins 90% of fights.

They were strong and somehow the hashinshins convinced the majority of the game that they were weak.

So riot buffed them.

And then they saw the pattern. All they needed to do was be the loudest voices crying “bruisers suck because mages” all while shitting on every other class from every angle possible. And eventually riot would buff them even more. And here we are.

I can tell from this 5 second clip that you are playing the laning phase completely wrong. First you shouldn't be letting him get a level lead on you especially since he cant do much to you pre 3 except q poke. You started long sword he started dorans blade. He took an early game rune, you didnt. If you had also been level 3 with an even wave you can easily follow him after he blows all his cooldowns and trade back.

well ya know that's what renekton does people have it so easy across the map, they don't have to consider that the opponent might pick renekton into them lol.

I can't see the scoreboard, but it is 0-1 overall, and both riven and renekton have tp down. Let me guess: Renekton got firstblood on you at lvl 1, because you tried trading with him. he is back again, already bought another longsword. And now you still try to contest cs when renekton has his fury stacked and obviously in position to punish you.

Even though renekton is kind of strong right now, and you are in a very bad matchup, that is just a gigantic missplay from you.

Renekton in particular can do that to you. He had press the attack with empowered W so it is insta stack and if he had played it better by waiting for full rage he would have killed you with empowered Q. Anyways, Renekton is supposed to do that and beat fighters early on but Riven can eventually beat him just by engaging and disengaging on his cooldowns.
