Renekton's awful late game

I can't be the only one who's noticed that Nasus's brother's gameplay is totally opposite from his own. Seriously, Renekton is an early game monster and ridiculous lane bully, but he's practically useless in the late game... Does anyone have insight on how to properly play this guy?

Thanks

It's definitely not as bad as it use to be. Renekton use to be worthless in any game that went past 20 minutes, now he can actually last longer than that.

He also works better in certain comps that others. His AoE armor shred on top of building Black Cleaver can open up AD heavy comps to do a lot of damage to an enemy team and he can also quickly get through a front line to lock up and harass the backline.

Ideally, his playstyle is best to quickly pressure top lane into taking the tower down early which then frees him up to assault other lanes with his early game presence which allows your team to gain momentum and then(ideally) do all the work late game as far as damage goes while Renekton becomes more Utility based as the game moves along.

This is just general information. Im not a Renek main or anything, though I would love to be. He's a fun champ with a lot more potential than he use to have outside of eSports use

That's the whole point of the champ. Dominate early and get far enough ahead that it won't get to late game.

Yeah this is kind of the point of Renekton and lane bullies in general. Their goal is to snowball the game so quickely so it doesn't get to late game.

Basically when you get ahead in lane/get that top turret, from there youre gonna want to look to roam and help get your mid/botlane ahead because a midgame Renekton with item 3071 item 3047 item 3077 (item 3748 if you are really ahead) is gonna be a pretty unstoppable force unless someone on the other team got fed too.

Renekton is an off tank regardless of what people say, and is one of the best if you want to avoid team fights.

He can start fights but is designed more to win those smaller fights with an OPTION to split push or stun players off his adc.
