Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s as Renekton has superior burst damage, sustain through Q, and rage management that outpaces your Determination stacking.
- At level 6, you gain kill potential with R but Renekton's empowered W stun can interrupt your combo execution, making it still Renekton-favored until you build defensive items.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using W to pull Renekton in, then Q for the double strike and healing, followed by E dash to either engage further or disengage based on his rage bar.
- Avoid extended trades when he has high rage, as his empowered abilities will outdamage your Determination stacks in short windows.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to force Renekton to overextend for farm, as he naturally pushes with Q waveclear.
- Use your W to punish his positioning when he goes for CS, but be ready to give up minions rather than take unfavorable trades in the early game.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Renekton when he has high rage (red bar) and you have low Determination stacks, as the damage differential is too significant.
- Don't use your E aggressively without vision, as Renekton players will often bait you into ganks by pretending to be low on resources.
