Hello I am Voosha. I am currently in one of the top 10 3v3 challenger teams (currently ranked 2nd but that can change at any point). I play 3vs3 religiously and am very familiar with every aspect there is to it. |

Renekton is one of my favorite top laners to play in both Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline. He is pretty mobile with







Renekton's damage does not scale very well towards late game. So when playing him try to remember this and end the game asap. When people start getting their 4th or 5th item is when Renekton starts getting into trouble.
I think that Renekton is a very strong pick and can work well with almost everyone. In particular, champions with cc work best with Renekton.
I particularly enjoy playing with this comp since everyone has a form of cc. Renekton and Xin Zhao synergize well because if either one of them lands their cc, the other can easily as well. Crowd controlled targets for Renekton and Xin Zhao just mean a free kill. Lulu's ult can make Renekton an out of control character at level 6. +600 health at level 6 is nearly 2 giants belts. This helps maximize the damage from his ult and just makes him an unkillable monster.
This comp is a very aggressive team comp. It works best with a Lee Sin but Jarvan can also work. You are constantly charging into their team and anyone can initiate. So there are many opportunities to engage with this comp. Once someone has been ulted by Lissandra, they are surely dead. Renekton and Lissandra are very difficult to burst down so the only other target is the highly mobile Lee Sin. It is very difficult to beat this team composition since it does well against everything.

Summoner Spells
Although many other champions have options, there is pretty much only 2 spells that Renekton should use. If an exhaust is needed for the enemy team have one of your teammates grab it instead. Renekton needs the ignite to be a lane bully and dominate the lane. Flash is a given on pretty much all characters.
Masteries
There are 2 different set of masteries you could use as Renekton. My most used is

This is an aggresive play style oriented mastery page. Renekton does not need attack speed and the cdr allows you to use your abilities more which is where most of your damage comes from.
Runes
Precision
Fleet Footwork
Phase Rush
Although Renekton's abilities do not scale particularly well, the extra damage will deal more damage to minions and give more health back. However, this is just a side note. Having more than 50 fury makes Renekton's abilities scale extremely well and do massively more damage. If you are comfortable in playing Renekton or if they are not running much magic damage, you can swap out the
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist and put in
Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction instead.

Slice and Dice over
Ruthless Predator will help you engage more or escape more. Slice and Dice is such a key tool in Renekton's aggressive play style. The distance covered by Slice and Dice is also pretty deceiving so many inexperienced laners against Renekton will be surprised. There is also no point in leveling w or e if you can't even get in their faces to use it.

You should start the game with a








Here are 2 defensive items after your core items.









Getting used to the dash range of slice and dice is key to being a good renekton. Practice in a bot game or just play him a lot, but you should be very familiar with the range.
A common lane harassing technique at level 3 is to dash in once with




Proper skill usage would be:
Some things to be aware of is enemy positioning. If you are not in range to land your


If you are not comfortable with including the stun in the combo or using your auto attacks then you may also choose to take it out and just dash in, use


The reason why




If done correctly, this combo happens in about 2 seconds. This combo may not always happen and you should just do whatever you're comfortable with, but this is just showing an ideal sequence. Good players will always maximize the amount of auto attacks they can land in between their spells. This goes for every champion in every lane in every game mode.
Refer to my Voosha's general 3v3 guide for some strategic suggestions.
Early Game
Start off with a









Mid Game
During mid game you should always be the one engaging. Don't dash in too far from your team or they could turn on you and quickly turn it into a 1v3 fight. Remember to activate your

You need to coordinate with your team whether you are able to double dash to their enemy carry and quickly burst them down or if peeling is needed for your carry. Renekton is very good at getting behind enemy lines and focusing their carry so if you have another champ that can go all in, such as

Defense
PLaying defense is actually one of Renekton's strong points. You have good wave clear and you are deceptively tanky. You can pop your ult while they try and focus you down under tower. Most teams won't dive a Renekton due to his innate tankiness, so if you're playing under tower, peel for your carry and shred as much armor as you can. It will make them even weaker to consecutive tower shots.
