Renekton's state since Conqueror Rework

this is just crazy how riot continuously buffing every champion in this entire game but Renekton. whenever they nerf conqueror, they nerf renekton. when they remove spear of shojin, they nerf renekton. they buff healing reduction? they nerf renekton. they buff poppy, malphite, pantheon, Fiora, tryndamere, and the list goes on and on, and all they give to renekton is 25% more healing on an ability with above 10 seconds cooldown that heals you to a cap, and a shield break you can only (and barely ever) proc on empowered w XD. MEANWHILE, Fiora gets to proc vitals that heal her, she gets to have true damage, mobility, slows, short cooldowns, or Darius, gets to have his armor reduction on his e as a PASSIVE, not a ability u need to proc to get it while not being able to use it at all. (FOR EXAMPLE, as renekton you can never proc your empowered e and use ur armor reduction because if u use it then u will do absolutely no damage since all of ur damage comes from ur emp w and emp q), he also gets true damage and also gets resets on his w on minions (Fiora gets that too actually.), and every other top laner gets to have either max health damage, current health DPS, true damage, a global ultimate or short cooldowns (especially on r), while Renekton has absurd 18 seconds cd dash lvl 1 and a 120 seconds ultimate at all ranks (that only gives him 250 hp Lvl 1, 500 lvl 2, 750 lvl 3) without any stats and just fury per second, just for comparison, let's compare it to Nasus, he gets 300 / 450 / 600 hp and ON TOP OF THAT 15 / 35 / 55 bonus armor&mr AND 50 bonus range on his basic attacks (Renekton gets only 25) AND higher ap scaling (2% more but don't forget he has ap ratio on E too and renek doesn't) ANDDDD 50% cooldown reduction on Q ANDDD 15 / 30 / 45 BONUS armor & mr over the ultimate duration. Renekton has a stun and nasus doesn't? well, renekton has a 1.5s stun when empowered, Nasus, on the other hand, has 47 / 59 / 71 / 83 / 95% slow that lasts for 5 seconds. hmm. The only reason renekton don't have less than 48% win rate is that he counters Yasuo, and irelia, and riven, all champions that have a HIGH pick rate, but on the other hand, if he gets matchups except those champions (and kayle), he'll get OBLIRIATED. like, there's no hope anymore for Renekton to exist in this meta other than a complete rework.

Now people will say, "BUTT, BUTTT, renekton one-shots meeee, he can't be that bad? right?" yea, he has good burst damage, EARLY GAME, like most top laners, that can press their buttons, and land abilities, you also forget that if u dodge renekton's e his e will go on 18 seconds cooldown, you also forget he doesn't deal any true damage and you can easily just buy tabbies and a bramble vest and counter all of his burst, you also forget that he is vulnerable to poke, and he cant sustain without minions. so yea, here is your answer, you can legit play the lane safe and ask for ganks (renekton has no tool of escaping other than an 18 seconds dash which he has to land on an enemy champion or minion, if jungler comes from the side he has no tool of escaping) and you will auto-win vs renekton, every, single, time.

plz buff renekton :(

Haven't mained draven since Season 6 when he was most viable to play and people didn't dick ride him for meta purposes and he was his own champion instead of the carbon copy paste we have now. I play every role in the game. Went from 700K+ mp on my main that's banned to not playing him since hes literally just.. a character that any other adc can do, but better since they have abilities and they removed draven's cheese. But any way, No. Renekton is still one of the stronger top laners. He falls off late, thats his purpose, he needs no buffs, he bullies people with ease. There's considerably a lot more people that deserve buffs instead of the living steroid croc.

early game champion supposed to have 18 seconds cooldown dash? Pantheon is an early game champion too, why does he have resets on q, a better stun than Renekton (his w), and a kayle r basically in one direction and his q is supposed to be his main damage source? he doesn't have sustain but him and renekton are basically the same playstyle, Renekton's sustain is pretty useless if he can't build full tank and get outscaled so you're force to go full ad and u one shot one enemy champion but then you're pretty much useless for the rest of the fight so maybe nerf his sustain but give us less cooldowns and more resets because its actually impossible to be able to do anything around the map with this champion?

Also pantheon has a GLOBAL ultimate that lets him roam.. :D

Because renekton can all in delete in seconds. Panetheon depends, hes not as much of an early game champ as he use to be, reset is kinda meh, renektons stun is ALOT BETTER. Don't even know how biased u are right now to say u think pantheons stun is as good as a renekton stun (which btw is long enough to 100-0 people) his e does no damage, its just the damage immunity, its honestly an average ability.I dont think ive ever seen a renekton ever become useless unless they hard feed int their laner. Renektons ult compared to panth ult? Hands down renektons for his purpose. Presses a button, gets a stat stick bigger than elder dragons old stats, becomes a monstrous machine that's harder to kill than nasus. Putting that against I guess a meh ranged ult thats really bad until 2, meanwhile renekton can pop R and then 1v5 an entire team by copying garen's spin mechanics.

I would rather see other champions get nerfed than Renekton get buffed. He already dominates some matchups super hard, it would be nigh impossible to win at all against him in lane if you buff him more.

his cooldowns are absurd his damage is fine, that's mostly the problem with Renekton. also that his e armor shred is literally useless and if it'll be a passive that will make him that much better.

fuck renekton i hate that champion he has the most bull shit laning phase and he has some of the safest gameplay i've ever seen with the least counterplay i've ever seen (dash, stun, q, dash away) like that's bull shit

what does aatrox get? hm? oh ya hard countered by that stupid champ

WoonStruck1 votes

Oh no, renekton not being one of the best top laners in the game for once...the horror...

loldudexd1 votes

Wandering around 48% win rate the last 10 patches (all ranks), and don't get me started on his win rate platinum+.
