Well lets get to it!

Lore

On a faraway world, Renekton was born a member of a race of bestial guardians created to serve as the rulers and protectors of their people. Alongside his brother Nasus, Renekton oversaw the upkeep of the Great Library, which served as both a vault of ancient knowledge and the repository of the teachings of the Cycle of Life and Death. While Nasus taught those scholars who came to study, Renekton served as the Great Library’s gatekeeper. He could sense the true natures of those who sought Nasus' teachings, and he sent away those with dark ambitions. Over time, however, his repeated exposure to this evil infected his mind. He grew furious with the malevolence in the hearts of men, and as he descended deeper into madness, he discovered he could quell the fury by cutting the evil from the men who possessed it. Unfortunately, the relief was as short-lived as the subjects, and the “butcher’s rage”, as it came to be known, would resurge ever stronger.
Consumed by his anger, Renekton turned on the one being who could defeat him -- his own brother. Nasus pleaded with Renekton to see reason. Realizing that he was beyond redemption, the despondent Nasus valiantly struck down his wayward sibling. Defenseless, Renekton waited eagerly for death’s release. It never came. He was spared when summoners from the League of Legends claimed his brother. Caught in the wake of this powerful spell, Renekton tumbled for what seemed like ages between realities. When he finally emerged, he was deep in the sewers of Zaun. Insane with fury, Renekton languished in his newfound home, driven senseless by his rage. That is until, by happenstance, he caught a familiar scent on the air. Believing that the familiar scent would guide him to the solace which was fading from his memory, he traced his brother to the Institute of War.

“My brother has become hollow. Full of rage, but empty.” ( Nasus, the Curator of the Sands)

Well lets get to it!

Renekton's Abilitys

Reign of Anger

Renekton's passive is very versatile: when using a charged up Cull the Meek, you can sit in between the enemy creeps and use the skill to lifesteal for huge amounts of damage in lane while also harassing your enemy. If your teammate is coming in to help gank your lane, you can Slice through creeps and use a charged Ruthless Predator to stun them for longer than the normal duration.

Cull the Meek

This one you take at level 3 and is the one to level up first. It’s your primary source of damage and sustainability. This followed up with Slice and Dice can clear a wave instantly at higher levels. Or with Ruthless Predator it can be a significant chunk of your opponentsopponent’s health. Spam this spell on minions if you are low on health. If you have 50 Rage I like to use that Rage on Cull the Meek because of the increased lifesteal cap and the extra damage.

Ruthless Predator

You get Ruthless Predator at level 1. The stun on it allows for an extra auto attack before running if you dive in to pressure or it allows you to get away if you are running. It also allows you to break any channels. Because the duration of the stun does not increase as you level it, I prefer to level this spell last. If you use your 50 Rage on this spell the damage is significant and the stun lasts quite a while.
50 Fury Bonus: Instead, Renekton attacks three times, dealing physical damage (15/45/75/105/135 + 225% of his Attack Damage) and stuns his target for 1.5 seconds.

Slice and Dice

This move you get at level 2 and you proceed to level it after Cull the Meek. Slice and Dice is your move for mobility. It gets you in and out of any fight. It allows you use this ability to jump over small ledges including Baron and Dragon. It also allows you to keep up withon a target you are chasing. If you do damage on your first activation, this move allows you to jump in, pressure your target in lane, and jump out without consequence. If the opponent comes in for a gank, you can dive through him and dive again and you can gain a sizable distance from your opponent, escaping a gank. I spend my 50 Rage on this spell if I am going for a kill. The armor shred on this spell along side your runes, masteries, and items tears your opponent’s armor away.

Dominus

Dominus is an exceptional ultimate. It’s a lot like his brother Nasus’s ultimate in that it gives increased health and an AoE damaging aura. The damage per second will help in team fights as well as in a 1v1 fight and the health gain can bait your opponent in longer for a kill, although it is better to use it at the start of a fight. Since Dominus also increases your rage production it allows you to use the Fury Empowered spells more often allowing for more damage.

Items

My core items are:

Item Sequence
Ninja Tabi 1000	The Bloodthirster 3200	Guardian Angel 2600

Item Sequence
Mercury's Treads 1200	Hexdrinker 1350	Maw of Malmortius 3200

The laning phase of Renekton

Renekton work best in solo lanes, where he can farm and Zone his enemy. Because of hes High single burst damage, Renekton can Zone her*** almost everyone in his lane. And he can easily farm minions due to hes Lifesteal and hes Awesome rage. When renekton gets 50 Rage you activate your Passive, and you next ability will do an extra effect. When Renekton reach level 6 its his time to (Sorry my language) Kick ***. He can almost win vs everyone 1vs1.

When your level 3 with Renekton you should really her*** you enemy and zone him alot.
If you get to aggressive and your low, just stand back and try to lifesteal you way back in lane with Cull of the Meek.

Teamfights

Renekton's role in a teamfight is a form of initiator tanky and bursty AoE damage (:
That means he can easily get in and out in teamfights, thats why hes a initiator.
Hes role is to Dice in Stun a target and Dice out, When you dice in and get stun in, your team will follow you up or well i hope they do (: Sometimes they see you as a Tanky champion and head to your Carries, well you gotta stop that, by Dicing by and stunning their carries and GG.
