Who Wins

  • You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to his burst damage and mobility advantage, but you start winning post-6 when your R gives you enough survivability to out-sustain his damage.
  • Focus on surviving the early levels rather than trying to match his aggression.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is to poke with Q when he goes for CS, then look for extended trades when he wastes his E aggressively.
  • Use W to absorb his burst combo and trade back with passive stacks when his abilities are on cooldown.

Wave Control

  • Allow him to push early and focus on last-hitting safely with Q, then look to freeze the wave near your tower where you can trade more safely.
  • Once you have items and levels, you can start slow pushing to build up minion advantages.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to match his early aggression or roaming potential, as you'll lose short trades and lack his mobility.
  • Avoid using W defensively too early in trades, as good Renektons will bait it out then re-engage when it's down.
