Renekton Build Guide by Dracofirestar

Welcome to my guide

Hi my summoner name is Dracofirestar this is my first guide and it most certainly could use improvement so comment as often as possible. I will be adding more and more match ups so just comment a match up and I will try and get to it.

Apologies

So sorry about the long wait to another update for the guide hadn't been playing a lot and had finally gotten back look forward to more updates.

Also sorry if my information is lacking always looking for comments to make the guide better.

Renekton

Why you choose

He is a high base damage ad bruiser that out trades and has high harass in lane.
His early game is one of the best in game and very few skilled at playing Renekton will have problems in his match ups for one reason they are generally who knows their champ better and when to do things. Renekton is not item based however he has very clear power spikes when he gets certain items. For instance Ravenous Hydra is a good example of an item that helps Renekton in every way

Spoiler: Click to view

Just as much as their are times to choose Renekton their are times when you shouldn't a clear example is against a champ that can do good at all times during the game. For instance against adc top lanes which aren't tremendously common but can appear. Along with champs like Trundle, Gnar and strong junglers like Xin Zhao and Jax

Pros / Cons

PROS
High burst early game
Can escape Slice and Dice
Reign of Anger empowered abilities provide a surprise to your opponents
Innate Sustain due to Cull the Meek
Great early game duelist
Good at split pushing
Can stay in lane longer due to using rage and not mana

CONS
Your team fight power isn't great like Darius who can help his team get kills
Easily kited
Late game kill power lost due to others catching up to you

Items

----
This item synergies well with Renekton by giving him a decent power spike that can be push through early game

----
This item allows Renekton to handle tanks like Malphite who are just generally tanky and don't seem to take damage. Because of its passive that allows you to get armor pen of which combined with Ruthless Predator applies multiple times.

----
This allows Renekton to bridge the gap between enemies for Renekton this coupled with Renektons initial move speed allows him to keep on his enemies and get secure the kill.

----
This item synergies with Renekton for a couple reasons 1st it has quite a nice mr for the item. 2nd it synergies with the Ravenous Hydra that is built on Renekton and 3rd Renekton's Cull the Meek synergies as well. With the change to spirit visage with more increased healing this item more than ever has become strong on renekton.

----
With the inclusion of this item tank renekton has only gotten stronger due to increasing his team fight potential. Making him more of a front line then he was already before. Also a fairly good choice for renekton due to having both armor and mr.

----
This item does indeed have its uses with renekton as a solid item for the active slowing his targets so renekton can stay on top of the enemy. coupled with the fact it also gives lifesteal and a little bit of attack speed increase makes this overall a good item to consider if you want to get a big more dmg into your build.

----
Currently I have been choosing this a lot lately. Of course use merc treads if the enemy team has high cc but right now ninja tabi bring more to the table then before with the way the item works making it a overall good choice most of the time.
----
More Items to come as I play with them if you wish me to try a specific item comment and I will try and get to it asap.
