How to play it

✓ DO

Never eat his W

His W is the whole matchup — get hit by it once and you always lose the trade. Space out of his W+E combo and only step in when it's down.

Short trades only

Don't extend — Renekton is super strong up close early, so poke with a Q edge and step out rather than committing to a drawn-out fight.

Read his keystone

Pay attention to his rune — Renekton is strongest when his empowered abilities are up, so trade against his rhythm instead of matching him head-on.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never extend a trade into him — get caught by his W mid-combo and you lose it every single time.
