Playing against Renekton

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Renekton is weak in the late game: play safe early and outscale him.

2

His combo depends on his double dash (E in + E out): if he E's to engage, he has no escape for 18s.

3

Respect when his fury bar is full: empowered W breaks shields and stuns longer.

4

Champions who outrange him counter him well since his only gap-close is E (medium range).
