Massive damage while still having great presence, and with the juggernaut itemization update he can build massive amounts of health and still be tanky and damaging. He's a great lane bully that can win most matchups and does the damage to assassinate enemy carries if he empowered W's them.

^This... item 3748 item 3071 and his ult = lots of damage... before these items renekton was known to fall off considerably. Now I feel renekton can actually scale @ a solid lvl to late game.

I'd personally add in a Sterak's Gage also, as the health synergizes well with Titanic and the 2 armor/mr items you will be getting, the base AD is 28/55.5 more AD, and the size increase (plus being lower on health but getting a massive shield) makes people want to focus you even more. With the 2 above items alone you can approach assassin level damage against carries while being extremely tanky, and with Sterak's added in with your tankiness you can murder a carry and then force everyone to focus you to keep you from murdering a second carry.

Yeah I think renekton is fine his win rate is above 50% for a long time.. I think once the reworked champions get balanced out a lil more he will go up a lil more. He was nearly 52% win.

I think he has a clear strength and weakness that many champions in this game need. Hes really strong early, and falls off late. But with the items we've mentioned, I think the extent at which he falls off is a bit less now which makes him that much more valuable to pick.

I find myself building item 3071 item 3748 item 3053 on most of my top laners now, except Fiora. It's simply perfect.

I think Renekton is what the Juggernauts should be balanced around. He is tanky enough to be hard to kill, but not too hard. He does good damage, but nothing over the top.
