Playing against Renata
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Her R (Berserk) forces you to auto-attack your allies: spread out and move away from your own carries.
The W zombie state only lasts 3s: if the ally doesn't get a kill/assist during that time, they die for real.
Renata is squishy and immobile: direct engages punish her easily.
Her Q has a long cooldown (14s): engage after she uses it.
