Renekton is new Yasuo. Hated champ on top lane

Why he is hated? For 0 counterplay of course. Farm safe? He will do dash dash and Stun and look at you. You are dead. Oh, I will pick champ that heals or shields me. Nevermind he heals more than me and destroys shields. Please, I am Challenger lvl 5000 and I pick Olaf, Garen or Vayne! Well wtf he killed them too.

So Renektons problem is simple and easy to fix. Nerf lane phase and make him a little bit stronger on team fights. Get that fucking Q healing removed and make it have little bit do true damage.

W is point and click and easiest to hit. Give it tiny debuff, on Renekton. Debuff should be "Exhausted. Can not use other spells on 0.6 sec(example timing)." And if he has furry W, it is 0.8 sec(Example). You get longer stun but cannot spam spells.

E should be slower but when you level up, it will go faster. And if you dash 4-3 champs through. Your Q or W would then heal or true damage.

R is fine.

there are still so many champs stronger then renekton people refuse to properly respect his early something renek has to do himself in many matchups. is the renekton w buff unwanted yes not even renekton mains want it, in fact many like me hate it. but it isnt even that massive a buff, it in fact only put him up 4 ranks for winrate. 34th highest winrate to 30th, thats how much the buff affected him and people are still freaking out about him, it blows my mind

I think in a way you answered your own question. It's not always about being stronger than your enemy, sometimes you have to make them weaker. Pick a champ that reduces his mobility and all in potential Poppy , pick a summoner spell that counter his damage summoner 3 , or build to counter his early game healing item 3076 . Riot won't ignore your post about nerfing a champion, but they will surely just "skim" right though it without giving too much consideration for it. It's easier to find what makes a champ weak rather than asking for a possible never gonna happen nerf. Just change the mindset of, "kill him 1v1", and just make him feel useless by the choices you've made. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but you just have to think in different ways.
