Build Guide by Azar

Introduction

This is my first LoL guide and I will be editing it as I go. Since the first day our gator pal Rene became available I have been using these builds. I'm sure there are similar builds already posted but with all of the positive feed back I get when I play this guy I decided to post anyway. I'm sorry my build is lacking in content. I will be adding to it for a while yet. At least until I get more rum. PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION! That means more tips, tricks and video clips are on their way as well as a jungle build.

Summoner Spells

Great for any battle.
Perfect for chasing targets or escaping a bad situation.
Useful, but I prefer ghost.
Good for killing an opponent with lots of escape or healing power.

Masteries

For both of these builds I build the masteries as 21/9. This should be a no brainer for those who want to become the ruthless predator, but some feel the off tank should build 9/21 or some such. Not necessary. This build gives you plenty of defensive capability and you know what they say: the best defense is a strong offense. We just need a slight push in survivability, items cover that just fine.

The Ruthless Predator

With this build all your opponents become tasty open face sandwiches for you to feed on. If your looking to get those early kills go for it, people wont know what hit them. Just make sure your lane partner is up to it or bad things could happen. Which takes us to...

Great Lane Partners:

For this build you will ideally want a partner that can help you get those early kills.
Simply because I find the alternative - farming - boring, but obviously you can do w/e you
feel like.

The best partner I have found thus far is Zaner Black's WW.

More coming soon, regardless of how much rum I have.

Runes

Mark of Desolation. For more damage, that's always fun.
Seal of Evasion. Combines well with our points in defensive masteries.
Glyph of Malice.Quintessence of Malice Our early game crits can devastate most opponents. I typically have one or two kills at level 2 thanks to these and Ruthless Predator.

Items

Core Build:

1.2*We start with a Brawler's Glove that puts us at almost 20% critical strike and two health potions for lane staying power.

2.Then we make a Zeal out of the Brawler's Glove.

Situational:

Summary

Kill people as they try and stagger away, don't turret dive unless you have over half hp and your ult ready, our ult can really turn a fight around if used at the right time (Bait and Switch). If you hit level 10 and the laning phase is still progressing (rare but it happens) hit the jungle for an easy couple of levels and try to gank the other lanes with your sexy buffs. Of course you should only do this if you have no jungler but you do have a competent lane partner who can hold your lane. On a side note this build tends to make people rage so make sure to tell them you <3 them and they are your friend. Some friends play hard to get though.

The Off Tank

Weather your team is lacking in initiators or you just like more survivability in your champs you'll enjoy this build. I feel this is a standard build that most Rene players have figured out by now but here she is anyway.

Runes

Mark of Desolation. For more damage nuff said.
Seal of Evasion. Combines well with our points in defensive masteries.
Glyph of Focus. Cool down reduction is great on this guy. Optionally we can build Glyphs of Shielding for more magic resistance.
Quintessence of Fortitude. With these our Rene will have better early game survival.

Items

Core Build:

1. First we start with our Cloth Armorand 3*
2.A slow gator is a dead gator.

3.Madred's Bloodrazer, an amazing off tank weapon.

4.For better heals and hp we build a Spirit Visage.

5. At this point we are probably lacking in damage so build a Bruatalizerand turn that into a Ghost Bladewhenever you need it most.

6.Runduin's Omen will make you a much more viable off tank.

Situational:

Now you must decide between more tank gear or if your doing well damage gear. Here are the choices I pick from:Sunfire CapeGuardian AngelBanshees VeilThornmail
Black Cleaver

Summary

Similar to the pure fighter build so I will only elaborate on how to initiate team fights. IMPORTANT! Please, please make sure your team knows whats about to go down or the middle finger of GOD will put you down. When your group is ready call your target slice in stun it and pop your ult then dice and kite if you got nuked otherwise finish off your opponents. If you're nervous about it just yell I can break these cuffs! Ultimately though you just have to find what works for you.

Yet to Come

The jungle build is still being worked out. I myself am not an expert jungler yet so I'm going to outsource this part.
