Skills

Passive: Reign of Anger

Weak passive that doubles our fury gains from both auto attacks and abilities when under 50% health points. Great during team fights, allowing you to build fury faster increasing your damage and utility by empowering your spells more often.

Q: Cull The Meek

Cull the Meek is Renekton's main tool for damage and sustain in lane making it mandatory to max first. The huge base damages of this spell allow Renekton to bully and sustain through most opponents. When empowered the heal amount and damage from Cull the Meek will be greatly increased. Cull the Meek also grants 5 fury per target hit (to a max of 25 fury) if under 50 total fury, so a great way to build your fury pool quickly is to Q 5 minions when at 45 fury you will shoot up to 70 fury instantly! Use this ability to push waves, harass, sustain, and last hit. During team fights use empowered Q's on multiple enemy champs allowing for up to 450 health heals. Abilities that apply grievous wounds like ignite reduce the amount healed by 50%, waiting for an ignite to wear off before using an empowered Q could make all the difference in a fight.

W: Ruthless Predator

This is an odd ability because while stunning your opponent your become suppressed for .5 seconds. This ability has a huge ratio when empowered (225% AD) making it a great nuke in single target fights or when diving that squishy carry! Also the stun duration doubles when empowered from .75 seconds to 1.5 seconds so keep that in mind when deciding on how to use your fury. W also resets your auto attack so always auto attack and then use W right after. Max last because this skill doesn't scale well because the ratio stays at 225% at all levels only reducing the cooldown. At Level 2 when empowered Ruthless Predator will chunk any top lane for AT LEAST 1/4 hp, top laners like vlad get chunked for half of their health.


E: Slice and Dice

Slice and Dice is a 400 range gap closer but if you can hit a champion or minion you can use it again, making Slice and Dice a possible 800 range gap closer. During trades in lane Slice and Dice will be used as your engage and escape tool allowing Renekton to get in do his damage and get out quickly. Slice and Dice when empowered shreds huge % of the enemy armor and is amazing when on an AD heavy team. Walls are no match for this ability offering Renekton some epic escapes. Here are all of the walls Renekton can Slice and Dice through.



R: Dominus

When Renekton reaches level 6 his ultimate grants him so much power in lane. Dominus offers a large boost in health which can be used to bait an enemy to staying in an unwinnable fight. Dominus also grants an AoE that deals insane dps, each point into your ult is like adding a Sunfire Cape when Renekton is ulting. Dominus increases Renekton's size, this causes Renekton's Cull the Meek and AoE to also have their ranges increased allowing for more AoE damage in team fights.

Plays

Early Game
Renekton's strengths lie in his early game power so it is key that you use this power to your advantage. There are multiple ways to do this which include zoning, denying, all-in, and/or forcing the enemy out of lane. In this phase of the game you will want to be careful to not get into too much trouble before you have all 3 of your abilities. After this against most champions you should be looking to trade damage as Renekton's base damages are very high leading to him winning most early game trades. Renekton is at his strongest at level 3 when he unlocks all of his abilities make sure to take advantage of this against champions who only have 2 abilities at level 3. It is SOOOO IMPORTANT that you do not waste fury, just having a full fury bar will zone most enemies from the creep wave. Make sure to keep a ward out and always try and track the enemy jungler so you know when you can try and make a play on your lane opponent. Do not use E unless you know where the enemy jungler is because if you get ganked when its down you are most likely dead. Playing the early game aggressively but intelligently will allow Renekton to transition very well into the mid game.

Mid Game
When mid game hits you should look at your team and the enemy and determine if you can win a team fight. If you feel your team can win look to force objectives like dragon or tier 1 towers. Renekton's shines in mid game team fights because carries don't have the damage to kill him though his ultimate yet and are still extremely squishy. Your goal in a mid game team fight is to either dive and kill an enemy carry or to peel for your own. Target the most fed carry but don't waste time chasing your high base damages are enough to take out even tanky champs with some help from your team. Mid game is where you begin to choose your item paths, add out the enemies AD and AP champs and determine what stats have priority and build those first.

Late Game
Late Game you need to decide if your team is capable of winning a 5v5 team fight. If the answer is no then you should be trying to split push. Make sure to buy wards so you are covered and begin pushing the lane farthest away from the action. Tell your team to stall the game out and just clear waves, your goal is to force multiple people to come and stop you relieving pressure on your team allowing them to possibly make a play.

If however you feel you can win team fights then your goal should be to force team fights in FAVORABLE POSITIONS! This is extremely important, just because you are ahead doesn't mean you should dive a tower. Try and force fights over objectives like baron or dragon by clearing out the enemy vision and placing your own. If they give up barons and dragons and just stall with wave clear try gaining vision control of their jungler and rotate to different towers as 5. They are either going to be too slow to respond or you can possibly catch them in transition. At this point in the game you should be tanky enough to eat tower shots for your team so don't be afraid to backdoor if the enemy is out of position.

Team Fighting
Renekton is a monster in team fights, he deals so much AoE damage and still has the ability to burst down a squishy target. During mid game team fights if the game is somewhat close Renekton will dominate, the free health and damage your ult grants gives you a leg up on your enemies because most haven't finished many items yet. During mid game team fights I like to look for squishies because your carries typically don't have enough items at this point to make them worth protecting. Don't be afraid to engage if you know your team will follow, pop ult and use E (possibly with flash) and stun a target your team can kill.

Late Game Renekton's ability to dive carries gets harder as the enemy team gets more items because your free stats from Dominus no longer mean as much. You might not be able to kill carries but if you are tanky enough you can zone them from the fight or force them to focus you decreasing their damage output in a team fight. If however both teams frontlines are weak or the enemy has many divers your best option might be to peel for your carries. Renekton's peels in terms of CC are not that great but Renekton offers a meat shield while dealing decent AoE damage and applying armor shred either through empowered Slice and Dices or through The Black Cleaver to help carries burn down the enemies quickly. I like to sit with my carries and peel while tanking the enemy carry, but if the they ever misstep don't be afraid to jump on them. Renekton's Late Game empowered damage is still no joke any carry that gets too close to you should be stunned and focus down by you and your team. Tank as much damage as your can then get out of the fight, Renekton is decent at cleaning up fights with his gap closer and stun so make sure to stick around if you think you can make a play.
