A problem I have always faced when playing Renekton.

This post is a rather serious one, and I do not mean to paint anyone else as bad in what I am about to say. Thank you.

Ever since I bought Renekton, I've loved him. His playstyle is fun and good for laning, which is where I like to do well. But, he came with a terrible price. Nearly every game I have played with him, I have lost. No matter how well I seem to do, my team mates always fail in their respective lanes/jungles. And no matter how well I do, I lose. I recently played a game to test it, and it still holds after all these years. My team mates believed that all we needed were kills, and failed to take objectives, so while we had nearly twenty more kills than them, they still smashed us. I do not know if I am the only one who has this problem, but I do know that it is a terrible one. I want to play Renekton, but I don't want to lose every single match I play.

Renekton can't solo carry, but he also needs gold. This is a problem, you see.

Without taking alot of kills, you don't have the gold needed to be a damaging, tanky threat. If you take alot of kills, you will hurt your team by putting the gold on someone that can't hard carry.

Thus lies the paradox of AD caster bruisers. Without gold, they are useless, but they can't solo carry either. Thus their only option is to win lane to win game. However, it is not so easy to win lane, since the enemy is not going to just let you kill them for free. But even if you DO win lane, you aren't guaranteed to win.
