Please help me.
I've encountered a few Renekton players and the way that champion regains its health back, is the most frustrating thing ever.
But it might just be me being very bad at the game/Garen.
Thanks for taking your time to respond.
Bramble Vest into Tabis and pick up a chain vest is the best way to deal with Renekton.
With Garen specifically, I image it's mostly predicting his stun and using W before it, and trying to time Q better to deny him his chance to run away.
that champion regains its health back
Simply buy bramble vest, like you would do against Fiora and other cancer.
You just can't. Renekton stuns you into half your hp (or oneshots you depending on if he has 5 more cs or not) just permaban renekton until he sees some heavy nerfs.
Even riven and Fiora feel more playable and actually counterable if you play something safer like Vladimir, Nasus, Urgot, Aatrox. Bruiser "melee only" champions don't feel very worth it in Top Lane right now.
Take boneplating.
Garen is a known Rene counter. W to deny his burst and gain armor over time to withstand damage, Q to disrupt his combo, % missing HP damage ULT so his HP gain from ULT is less relevant. Tabi, Bramble, Cleaver as someone said above.
Or you can try Darius, Jax, Tahm Kench, Voli, Poppy to block his dash and Q spam him. Ranged bullies always work too.
Rush tabis, get bramblevest into either cleaver or Steraks, play save till ~lvl 11 and from there you should start to outscale if he's not fed. With garen, it's important to keep in mind the scaleing nature of your W passive and your E in mind and play around their spikes. At lvl 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 his E gets another spin, so at lvl 11 you have 3 aditional spins and your ult rank 2 which is overall a big spike, and by then you usually also got your W stacked up. Also, it often helps to get an early second point into W, E doesn't gain much damage from ranks till you have some more spins from levels and some ad to back it up, and Q doesn't cut it vs renekton, so makeing sure your W is up whenever he goes agressive helps alot at surviveing the early. Also, if he dashes towards you, hit him with Q asap, if he's to slow on the W you can deny his stun and get away, else you atleast make sure he can't easily follow with Q. Also, if you manage to use E befor the stun, the spin will keep going while stunned, which isn't that relevant early as you hardly will cut through his sustain anyway, but it can basically deny the stun by still dealing damage over it's duration which is valuable later on once you scaled a bit.
My renektons suck ass. Mid and late gamd they are useless af.
