one of riven's hardest match up as renekton bursts people so fast early, but this match up you cannot mess up or riven will snowball like fuck throughout the entire game, for safety i would take w level 2 so you can out trade riven if she spams q and aa resets
Gangplank
Jax
Aatrox
Easy, just trade level 3 and you should burn his passive and next fight kill him
Akali
Cho'Gath
Darius
A lot easier since the rework but don't try to trade when he has 3+ hemorrhage stacks on you
Dr. Mundo
Keep trading pre 6 and you should beat him in lane
Ekko
really squishy so its easy to beat him just try not to get in his stun as its a perfect opportunity for a gank to occur
Elise
this matchup actually sucks for renekton because she can dodge your w and put it on cd and from that she can just shred your health with her broken passive and her stupid abilities, best advice i can give is get a jungle gank or try to dodge her stun and bait her rappel once you have done this you might be able to kill her
Fiora
This matchup is actually quite hard due to Fiora having insane damage from her passive and from her having that she can easily shove you out of lane. So i would recommend starting dorans blade or go cloth 5, from this you can have a safer start, once your level 3 try to trade but before you do bait her W, if you dont you're just going to get destroed as her w is the main counter to renekton, so e on to her auto attack then back by then she would use her w and you can e out and dodge it and then go back in and trade and hopefully win the fight/
Fizz
Garen
Gnar
quite hard unless you're a experiecned renekton player, try to take trades when your e is up other wise you're going to get kited every time you walk up to him
Hecarim
Heimerdinger
easy but his turrets can hurt if you stay in them for a while, its also easy to bait out his ult
Irelia
Jarvan IV
take trades level 3 and try to dodge his knock up combo and then kill him if he has no escape
Jayce
can be hard as ranged match ups hurt renekton but try to trade every time your slice and dice is up and auto attack cancel your auto attacks otherwise you will get knocked back and he will manage to win the trade
Kayle
another annoying match up, she will most likely push you under tower and if she does try to get trades or get your jungler to come and gank
Kennen
really easy, just go all in level 3 by using e then aa and use empowered w straight after and e aa q by that they should be dead
Lee Sin
most top lane lee are really squishy but do a lot of damage so be careful to trade when he has a q on you, just use empowered w's to take his hp then go in on him when he is 30% hp or lower
Lissandra
quite hard as she can poke you with a 3 or something second q and if you get near her she can stun you, best advice i can give is keep doing the standard trades and second or third back you can get mercury treads to fight against the crowd control
Malphite
can be annoying as he negates so much damage from you, probably best going Armour pen runes to shred armour mid game or you can go ad but get jungler help to beat him
Maokai
Mordekaiser
mordekaiser isn't as easier to deal with ever since these crazy reworks on him so try not to trade when he has his 3rd q other wise he will deal 75% of your hp because he is balanced as fuck, nice 1 riot and its best to take small trades that you know you can win long trades will result him winning with 4 auto attacks from q and a auto
Master Yi
really easy as he is squishy can be a champ which face rolls you if you don't build Armour a few backs later because yi damage with ult can be stupid without Armour
Nasus
this matchup can be really hard but lets think the logic in this matchup a crocodile would beat a dog easy because he can just devour him and win so that basically applies to this match up just pressure hard in lane by denying cs and dive when ever you feel its a good idea
Nautilus
Nidalee
Nocturne
Olaf
Pantheon
Poppy
Rek'Sai
Renekton
this obviously is the hardest match up because it requires skill and mechanics to defeat your lane opponent.
Rengar
Rumble
Ryze
Shen
Really annoying match up as shen can negate most of your damage using his w which is his shield. So in this match up i would take tp as shen would normaly just teleport bot if he cant do anything top and if he does this teleport where he is going and hopefully you can help out and kill them all.
Shyvana
Singed
Really easy just shove wave and keep using you e,aa,w,aa,q, e combo on him and at that point he should be low enough to dive, if he does kill you and tries to proxy, get jungler help also you have the best wave clear in the game so you can just farm minions and not take tons of damage fighting them.
Sion
Really easy just all in him after level 3 from that you should guarantee yourself a kill as sion early is so weak.
Swain
Teemo
Easy, Temmo's blind cannot affect Renekton's abilities Even his w cannot miss so.... KILL THE RAT
Trundle
Tryndamere
Udyr
Vayne
The hardest match up for renekton, there is no way you're going to kill vayne unless dies from diving you or you get jungle help. What makes this match up hard is vayne can poke you under tower and shred you hp to 50% with 3 auto attacks and maybe a q so yeah thanks riot for this cancer champ.
Vladimir
Volibear
Wukong
Xin Zhao
This is actually really hard for renekton as xin has stupidly small cool downs and he does a lot of damage early and Renekton needs spells to trade with xin or xin will just jump on you and take half your hp, best thing to do is take small trades and ignite that way you might be able to win the lane,
Yasuo
Yorick
yorick is super annoying as he just presses q and w on you and all the damage you do to him he will just heal back up, best thing to do is get a gank or catch Yorick of guard
Zac
Zed
Easy zed is useless pre 6 so you can just trade with zed every level pre 6 and win
Hi!, I'm Godrekton, I've been playing league for over 2 years as I started back in 2013 late season 3. So a bit about my self I'm a very experienced Renekton player with over 1000 games with him. Now most of you reading this would think "How the **** can you just play 1 champion and not get bored?" Well.... I Don't know xD I guess it's because I love that champion and every thing about Renekton makes him so unique and cool compared to all the other champions in league.
