Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 heavily due to Renekton's superior trading and sustain, with levels 2-3 being particularly dangerous when he gains his full combo.
- Post-6 you can start winning if you use R properly to kite and reposition, but you still lose if caught in melee range without your ultimate.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern should focus on short poke with auto-Q-auto when Renekton goes for CS, immediately using Q to reposition away from his engage range.
- Only commit to extended trades post-6 with R active, using the stealth and movement speed to kite while proccing W stacks.
Wave Control
- Give up CS early to avoid trades and let Renekton push into you, setting up for jungle ganks and safer farming under tower.
- After first back with items, you can start contesting more aggressively but still want to avoid long lanes that favor his all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight extended trades without your R available, and don't use Q aggressively for damage when you need it to escape his E-W combo.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or areas where Renekton can surprise you, as getting caught without escape tools means certain death.
