Playing as Renekton

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Get ahead in lane

    Play aggressively in lane and look for an early lead: Renekton is strongest before everyone has their items.

Playing against Ryze

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when he marks you

    Back off when Spell Flux (E) marks you: marked, Rune Prison (W) roots you instead of slowing you, and Overload (Q) hits you harder.

  2. Target him when he comes close

    If you can engage, target him when he comes close for his combo: he has no dash to get away.

  3. Interrupt his portal

    If you have CC, use it on Ryze while Realm Warp (R) is charging: it cancels the portal.
