Playing as Renekton
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.
Playing against Teemo
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Only close in for a real trade
Only get close to him to start a real trade: each Teemo auto poisons you with Toxic Shot (E), and the poison keeps ticking while you back off.
- Trade after his dart
If you rely on autos, start your trade right after Blinding Dart (Q): he has nothing left to blind you with during its 7-second cooldown.
- Reveal his mushrooms
Before a dragon or Baron, move in with an Oracle Lens or a Control Ward: they reveal the Noxious Trap (R) mushrooms, which otherwise stay stealthed for minutes.
- Call your jungler when he steps up
Ask for a gank when he steps up in your lane: Teemo has no dash, and only the Move Quick (W) sprint helps him escape.
