Does Anyone Truly Realize How Little Counterplay Renekton Has?

E - Fury enhanced W- Q - E Out/E again and then ignite. I'm not QQing but even when his fury is down you still can barely engage on him.

Fuck Riven, Darius and Garen this son of a bitch one shotted me with a long sword :3.

Still weaker than Ravenous since it can be used to cancel Ren's W.

Cleaver and Deadmans are still huge buffs for him though.

not it's not rofl, titanic gives renekton 150 AD on hit (i played him got this) hydra gives 80 AD and canceling renekton W is nothing it's only a 0.5 sec animation

It's 0.75 and if you break the animation you can basically land an extra AA, as it turns out that outdamages Titanic.

It's better to build Hydra in 90% of situations.

He could use a very tiny buff like a bit lower cooldown to his ultimate, but other than that a moderate sized buff would push him over the edge and he'll shoot to pick or ban.

Renekton's problem late game isn't lack of damage though, it's of utility. He only has a singe crowd control ability that's single target. His armour shred is solid, but he looses empowered q damage and heal or empowered w damage and stun. He also has no poke, at all, and his sustain relies on him being in combat. Late game, mages can poke him down as he likely only has room for a single mr item and if the mage was smart and got a liandries, their poke will slowly burn him down making him less potent in teamfights.

Just my two cents.

i dont see how lack of mobility on adcs and 1 cc on renekton becomes a problem late game when teams group together and make up for each others weakness and broken people shine brightest

Old hydra > titanic shit

Da counterplay is that he is easy to kite Also he wont be tanky enough unless he snowballs really bad if he goes bruiser build

Not really. Counter play is the ability to use your skills and reflexes to avoid enemy damage and CC, but targeted abilities (excluding tethers and Caitlyn's R) and instant cast abilities (like Annie's R) do not offer it.

Q is instant cast

W would be fine if it were not for...

E, since he can dash directly to you, stun you, use Q, and dash out for unstoppable harass. He can also dash again through you to all in.

R grants him health, fury generation, and some bonus AoE damage. The health bonus and generation can not be stopped, and the damage, while minimal, is kind of hard to avoid when he has a stun and a dash (or two).

He is weak in the late game of course, but that does not mean he has counter play.

Is that really counterplay though? That's like, counterwaiting.

Are you trying to suggest that being gap closed on, stunned, nuked, disengaged and unstunned lacks counterplay?

When his W used to not have anyway to be cancel there was still some time for you to react. Ravenous hydra lets him cancel his W so it can be impossible to deal with once he gets tiamat.

As a shitty Reneckton player who has little input, I will say Reneckton is highly skill reliant and has massive cool downs and will naturally shove to generate enough fury to destroy you like that. If he rushes a titanic, and has the Tiamat thats a dead give away DANGER - DO NOT FIGHT. He is a bit anti fun, and a good Renecton will double kill both you and your jungler at level 6 with a tiamat, however if you can bait out his skills like try to get him to E in to combo you, your jungler and you can probably kill him because of long cool downs.

Tbh I always had easir time dealing with Renekton (as teemo) than against any other top laner..

It's all about personal preferences tbh :)

No it's not, Teemo has a blind, which counters almost any auto attack reliant champ, and Renekton is that, he needs to apply an auto attack to be able to even USE one of his abilities, that along with Teemo being ranged and very fast, counters a lot of laners and is the main reason why people HATE teemo

He has 0 counteeplay, his laning pattern is prob the most toxic one in the entire game

Fuck Riven, Darius and Garen this son of a bitch one shotted me with a long sword :3.

his damage early game comes from his w and q when he has fury

he is horrible countered by fizz and vayne becuase his late game becomes non existent

ever played Chogath item 3110 vsVolibearitem 3065 its not possble to kill each other if you are both the same skill level

you just have no idea what your doing and are a part of why i quit odds are wed be put on the same team and id say fml 15 mins in

I've never did bad against renekton as fiora (since she got reworked)

His late game is pretty weak though.

here is renekton's biggest weakness in lane: All-ins

his strength is attrition due to his ability to harass and sustain his health after trades with his Q, but if you manage to force an all-in fight when you're both on equal footing, most champions absolutely demolish renekton

the frustrating thing with that is that you have to play against renekton as if his jungler didn't exist because if you play safe and refuse to 'overcommit' by fear of his jungler, then you're almost guaranteed to slowly lose the lane

the trick is generally to fight once his dash is on cooldown since it'S 18 seconds at rank 1 (and only goes down to 16 at rank2 (generally level8) so that he can't disengage from an all-in

Oh yeah. We know. Remember last year? If he gets buffed again, even the tiniest thing, we're gonna have a Renekton Vs Juggernaut meta.

Sonny you should have been here pre-nerfed Toplane God Renek. For all you geniuses out there if his rage is over 50% his abilities become empowered so beware the free trades.

Last time I played against a Renekton he ignored my chain vest and did 75% at level 3 with only a longsword, a health crystal and a vision ward in his inventory. This is when I realised I needed to buy the interior crocodile aligator.

Pantheon shits on him.

Pantheon shits on literally everyone top lane. Everyone. Not a single champion counters Pantheon top lane, or at least I haven't faced one.
