Yo what the fuck is Renekton

Ok sure but why··7 votes·2,219 views

Remember that one time on the PBE when Alistar's old passive was bugged and magically did 9999 damage per tick? Alistar was just dashing in and instakilling everything, and it was a real shit-show.

That's Renekton. The butcher of the shit-show.

He just has,,,..... so much damage. That's all you can really say. Like, I could pick apart his kit and explain why he's tremendously boring and un-engaging to play against, but that's an entirely different problem. The main thing is, he just does so much fucking damage.

He has two different combos to use on his opponent in lane:

  1. Dash in, press W, press Q, ignite, and collect 300 gold from the target you just completely 1-shot.

  2. Dash in, press W, press Q, and dash out, since you were only able to take 90% of his health that time, whilst taking no damage of your own, because he was just stunned the entire time and literally unable to retaliate. Then do it again and collect your 300 gold.

Imagine a Pantheon with self-healing and an escape tool. That's Renekton.

Imagine a Nasus with two dashes and a stun. That's Renekton.

Imagine a Talon that builds Cleaver into full tank but still gets 500 AD. That's Renekton.

Imagine a Darius with a Soraka support constantly following him around. That's Renekton.

Imagine a bugged Alistar on the PBE, but actually allowed to go to the live servers. That's Renekton.

Damn, he's annoying.

He falls off late game is the only argument pro-renektons have. His laning phase is bull with his stun then empowered abilities doing over half your health bar.

Renekton for the first time seems balanced for me. He doesn't need any nerfs tbh

lmao a bunch of people are gonna come to argue that "No!! He falls off late game! He's perfectly fine!" and just ignore the fact that lategame doesn't exist anymore

Yeah lane bullies shouldn't exist when the laning phase is 5 minutes shorter than the entire match

People sometimes get frustrated with him because he is very strong early game and needs the other player to know how to play against him.

  • The moment you see him using E against a minion, run because he will try to get near you with the double E bonus; if he fails to do it, you can quite him pretty well and punish him.

  • His E has a considerable large CD, so if you count with it you can take adventaje and outrade him; He won't be able to get out unjurt after doing his combo.

  • If you survive or finish early game without giving kills to him, you can considere it a victory because I can assure you how weak he is in TF; He would have lost his potential.

Don't touch my gator.

He's a lane bully man. Same as Caitlyn. Same as Zed (which is actually utter bullshit).

The tradeoff is he does little to no damage late game. His scalings are complete shit. His entire purpose is to shut down the opponent early and get a huge lead to help close out the game fast.

Hes completely busted in lane, but overall when team compositions come into play he really isn't a big deal. ADC's and APC's have a way easier time handling him than top laners do. They can actually avoid his dash 1shot, or halt it in its tracks.

...And yet, despite all this "fucking damage", he's barely semi-viable with a 48.7% win ratio.

I could list at least a dozen other champions who deal as much damage as he does, if not even more, and they would be infinitely more viable.

Stop hating on Renekton. He's barely considered a good pick choice, nerfing him even further would make consciously picking him borderline trolling.
