does renekton have a skin coming up or something like that?

Critmaster Garen··8 votes·4,974 views

im not hating on the champion, but hes in a good spot right now. why is he receiving significant buffs?

Renekton: HP : 572.16 >>> 575 AS growth : 2.65% >>> 2.75% Armor growth : 3.8 >>> 4 Q healing against champions : 3x >>> 4x

that buff to his q is especially what im talking about, considering that he already bullies most champions around in lane, and doesnt really fall off anymore thanks to shojin.

Riot clearly is deciding between Victorious Riven or Victorious Vayne this year, which is why they're leaving them in this state.

they probably have 3 more prestige skins and an ultimate in the works for at least one of them. this is actually getting sad at this point.

That doesn't make sense, they wouldn't get any money from that since...you know, Victorious skins are free (on gold elo)

And this year a Supp will get it, my bet is on Braum

He doesnt need buffs, top tier needs nerfs. Kled and Riven are similar too Ren but they dont have too play around, making trades too get you low, they just all in you.

i mean everything considering the stat scaling really looks like they just want to round up the numbers to make them not weird.

that attack speed/lvl buff is 1.8% at lvl 18. the rest is not going to have a huge impact either, fine.

but theyre also sneaking the heal multiplyer in for no reason. this is going to have a pretty strong impact on his already strong lane phase. what? why? hes at 50% winrate and sees decent play at the moment. why would he need this buff?

Renek has a 48% winrate. His playrate was decreased because of his anamation cancels being changed. And all he has is his strong lane. Spear of shojin artificially propa him lategame but the item is op not renek

Very true, since Jax is practically god once he buys SoS. If that item got removed, he'd fall back to where he belongs (for the most part).

At least, unlike Kled and Riven, renekton will fall of late game.

Renekton isnt in the best spot right now. Especially after rito messed with his anamation cancels which further lowered his winrate. The only reason renek didnt get buffs before is because he was the best counter to yorick and riven at the time best winrate toplaners. Now riven is even in renek and yorick isnt top tier. He does need them somwhere. Although i assure you this isnt the buff renek mains wanted

i thought they fixed his animation cancels? wasnt that just a short lived bug?

sliceruser2 votes

They took away his ability to animation cancel with runes and gave slight ability to animation cancel with abilities. Overall he lost 1% winrate and 1% playrate from about 49.7%wr and 8.5% pr to 48.5 % wr to 7% pr last i check

right, i heared about this. one of the runes he could pick allowed him to animation cancel his q when it activated or something like that.

that was some really jank shit, and makes sense that they bugfixed it.

i guess, it makes sense then that they compensate him? im still kindof wary, because renekton isnt a bad champion atm, and even renekton mains are saying that he doesnt fall off anymore.

that used to be a thing like in season 3 when they went into cleaver and then full tank. but nowdays renekton goes like tiamat, cleaver, shojin into titanic later and never really falls off.

The reason he doesnt fall off the way he used to is spear. It is very much spear that is op rather then renek being ok. And there are other spear abusers much stronger with it i.e jax and riven

Renek hasn't been a lane bully in a long time. I really wouldn't even consider those significant buffs

D357R0Y3R2 votes

significant?

those buffs are straight up hot garbage

what the fuck

those stat adjustments dont really do much, but the increase of that heal multiplier is a pretty decent buff to his laning. the increased sustain makes him a lot harder to deal with early on already.

dont underestimate this.

I think it's actually more reasonable than most of the recent champion buffs.
At least it's not more of "here take a bunch more damage here, a bit more damage there, several ability cooldown decreases, with some defense nerfs for good measure because who doesn't love never ending URF and nothing but burst meta?"

Sir Saltarin1 votes

You guys are boring, not all nerfs and buffs are part of a deep conspiracy to sell skins

And Renekton wont get a Prestige skins any soon, like, the Balance team does enough dumb decisions by themselfs.

Or there is also a Cassiopeia skin since she's getting random buffs aswell ?

Wow 3HP, 2 armor, and an inconsequential amount of attack speed on a champ that doesn’t build any, by level 18.

Totally worth complaining about and writing conspiracies

Considering that they buffed Garen when he was in a really good spot and he didnt get a skin... no

46% winrate and 1.5% play rate wasnt a good spot. he was garbage tier because every other top laner suddenly had conqueror available, and hes maybe the only fighter who cant use it because he cant stack it efficiently.

if this is really all just a result of renekton dropping off hard after the bugfix, it doesnt bother me. it probably would have bothered me a few weeks ago.
