Renekton's W vs Pantheon

Ch0c0lateJesus··1 votes·544 views

So I've played this matchup a ton of times as Renekton. Pantheon's shield always used to mitigate some of the damage from Renek's W, but not all of it, and it didnt block the stun effect either.

I took a lengthy hiatus from LoL, and am only back recently, but apparently they decided that his shield that normally blocks _one_auto attack should now block all 2 or 3 attacks from Renek's W and the stun effect as well.

This is frankly kind of bullshit. Renekton's W counts as multiple attacks, the initial attack should be blocked, but the remaining ones should not. That's the way it was before and that made sense. It's an auto attack blocker, not a fucking spellshield.

I still shat on him though... remember; never play a champ you suck at just because it's supposed to be a counterpick.

They made a new setting where a Jax'E & Panth's W can block any type of AA-powered, be it with CC or not.

Renekton's W should now be completely blocked by Panth's shield, both the damage & stun.

The tooltip for Renektons W indicates that it is essentially 2-3 auto attacks depending on the amount of fury you have, only the first auto should be getting blocked.

Raith Alghul is correct. I tested it out with a buddy -- the first auto + the stun effect is blocked while the other hits go through.
