Playing against Renata

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Her R (Berserk) forces you to auto-attack your allies: spread out and move away from your own carries.

2

The W zombie state only lasts 3s: if the ally doesn't get a kill/assist during that time, they die for real.

3

Renata is squishy and immobile: direct engages punish her easily.

4

Her Q has a long cooldown (14s): engage after she uses it.
