Tips to maximize your impact

Ruthless Predator at 50 Fury
Save 50 Fury for Ruthless Predator (W): empowered, it strikes three times, destroys shields and stuns for 1.5 seconds instead of 0.75.
In and out with Slice and Dice
Take your trades with Slice and Dice (E): one dash to go in, your combo, then the recast to get out, available if the first dash hit.
Dominus at the start of your all-in
Cast Dominus (R) at the start of your all-in: you gain max health and Fury, and damage nearby enemies every second.
Get ahead in lane
Play aggressively in lane and look for an early lead: Renekton is strongest before everyone has their items.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Stay near your minions
Stay near your minions against Obliterate (Q): its damage increases when it hits only one enemy.
Dodge his Death's Grasp
Dodge Death's Grasp (E): it pulls you toward him, into his other spells, and it has a 16 to 8 second cooldown.
At range, kite him
If you have range, kite him: Mordekaiser has no dash, and only Death's Grasp (E), which pulls you in, closes the distance.
Save your mobility in his R
In Realm of Death (R), save your mobility spells to escape him rather than for the duel: he steals part of your stats, and keeps them if he kills you.
