Thanks for the feedback i'll look into my audio and video settings, I have been trying to shorten these guides and make them more to the point with every sentence being some useful information. I think 2:30 or 3 minute videos are the perfect length to deliver the strategy while not seeming like a lecture.

Great matchup guides Souza. Like you said, short and to the point. A lot of people could learn from you!

That's a good one to do next, I've had issues with Rumble in the past. :>

Also I just wanted to say your Jayce advice was really good. Helped me win against a decent Jayce for the first time (without any jungle help) as Renekton (popping ult to force him back and gain a cs advantage is really useful tactic), I've always struggled with the matchup in the past. Although I will say you make pushing the lane and ducking into the bush look way easier than it actually is haha. I probably just need to practice it a bit more.

My Renekton win rate has surged past 70% at the gold level, your guides have definitely helped me be more confident in how to approach certain matchups and what the croc is capable of. Some of it was stuff I already sort of knew but never really thought about consciously, other parts are things I never knew. You've been an awesome resource, and I'm surprised more people haven't been saying that.

The vs Irelia guide matches my experiences extremely well. I played that matchup so many times in the preseason. I haven't run into many Irelias these days, so I imagine a lot of other people don't have much experience with the matchup.

Nice guides, could you do one on Renek vs Riven?
I play both characters a lot, so I'd really like to see what you think about the matchup.

I wanted to say thank you for these great Renekton guides. I've played him almost exclusively in top lane for the past couple weeks with very good results.

One of the biggest troubles I have, which stems from my lack of experience top lane, is when I win my lane and push down t1 turret in the mid game, opening me to roam. However I often have a hard time making plays or taking objectives on the rest of the map before the wave is shoved back at my turret, and since I don't want my lane opponent to catch back up I often end up split pushing all the way to their t2 turret (usually warding their jungle).

A fed Renekton is so strong around this time that I really feel continuing to push top is wasting his power peak, but I'm not sure how to handle this situation since I don't want to lose my turret or miss out on several waves of farm. I'm more used to champs like Shen or Jax that can just sit top. Any advice here?

@zer0das Glad my guides have been helpful for you! I have played the jayce match up so many times the ducking into the bush thing just takes time to learn. Try to only expose yourself when there is a reason to, I only leave the bush to cs and trade. I made the Irelia matchup guide because I never played it against a solid top laner before until a few days ago and after thinking about the matchup I figured i'd make a guide for it! :D

It's a tough matchup to describe because the skill level of Riven really determines how the lane will play out. I haven't played many good Riven players lately so I'll have to see if I have the footage needed to make the video. If I do I will make Renekton Vs Riven after I finish a Renekton Vs Rumble guide i'm working on!

Glad you enjoyed my guides! So roaming is all about understanding game flow, so many different factors come into play when determining when to roam. Below is just a few that I was thinking about when trying to answer your question hope it helps! I will be doing a "Renekton Quick Tips" soon on roaming i'll add it here when i'm done!

So the biggest thing with roaming like you said is to be able to get back to your tower before you miss a huge wave. So, you have to figure out how much time you have before the wave will hit your tower. Is he trying to freeze the lane or is he just shoving as hard as he can? The amount of time you have determines what you can do with the roam.

Even if you take tower and you are stomping your lane sometimes roaming isn't even a good option. If your mid lane is weak or doesn't perform well in ganks (no cc/weak burst) roaming there won't be worth it. Roaming for dragon when your team is behind could end poorly even when you have the 5v4 advantage. If your team can win a 4v4 successfully then its better for you to stay top and continue to dominate your opposing laner.

You want your roams to be worth it meaning if you lose 5 cs to roam you need to make more than that back. When you roam you need to gain some kind of an advantage if you can't don't bother roaming, just apply a ton of pressure on top lane.
