aka, Always Kill Never Die, huehue, v. 2.0

So I'm not sure why but Riot gave Renekton his buffs back. Now he's so stupid strong that he demolishes anybody given the opportunity to snowball. You really can't stop him if he's been farmed. Here's how to roll.

Masteries: 8/21/1. Crit, Offense CDR, Garen (i.e. anything Garen can benefit from, aside from Ardor and Cleanse) Defensive Masteries, and Ghost.
Spells: Ghost/Flash
Runes: Armor Pen Reds, Armor/Lvl Yellows, MR/Lvl Blues, Movement Speed Quints

Items: Brutalizer, Boots, Ghostblade, Merc Treads, Brutalizer, whatever the hell you want. Really, at that point it doesn't matter. You can get Bloodthirster/IE/whatever for more damage, or get tank stuff for more tank. Either way you demolish people. If you want an ideal amount, I'd say Black Cleaver/Randuins/Banshee Veil.

Skill Order:
Q/W, followed by the other, QEQRQWQWRWWEEREE.

How to play:
Laning Phase:

Start with a Broadsword and a HP Pot. Yeah, you can get away with it.

Renekton is so strong now that he can actually hold a solo now without dying in the first three minutes. Last hit as normal and if the enemy is close enough to hit them with your Q do it. The Q will give you enough heal to ignore that burst of harass. Continue to strategically last hit with W and Q until you hit 4. Grab E and use it to Slice through the Creeps, W your target, Q him, and Dice back to your wave. Repeat as necessary. Try to keep your rage for Q only, because you need it for the heal and stupid damage.

By now you've won your lane, gotten two kills, the tower, and have probably close to 2500 gold in the bank. Buy a Ghostblade and Boots. Now proceed to find things to farm. If you're REALLY farmed, this will come in the form of enemy squishy champions. If not, go farm creeps. See empty wave, farm it. Ideally, you want to weaken all the creeps just enough so that you have rage and can Q all of them in one shot. Not only is this effective at getting you the creeps, but it's utterly satisfying to have a ring of gold around you. If people try to gank you, use Slice and Dice to get away. For weak opponents, activate W and flash and right click on them to stun them, and then Q + E to heart's content. Try to bait enemies to overcommit against you before you ultimate, unless you're diving in on a teamfight from the side and the enemy squishy carry is in range.

Teamfights:

Come in from the side, dive the enemy carry. Ult and spam all of your spammable items. W and Q as much as you can. Once an enemy is slain, use slice and dice to catch up to them. Always aim your slice at an enemy that you can hit with it to get the dice proc. Be careful about CC, Renek is very vulnerable to CC. The best way to deal with this is simply to kill the opponent before they can do that. E-W-Q-E-auto will kill most opponents.

lets face it atm once you reach a decent farm you can pretty much just A move their base, screw teamfights Renekton can do it on his own. He is now my pub stomper of choice just pop your ulti slice your way in and collect the quadkill.

yeah renekton is kinda silly now. I think if they were gonna give him so much of his Q back they needed to tone down W so he doesnt 3 shot people.

I heard Kobe24 talking about how he's trying to make jungle renek work but it's just too slow or something.

He scales terribly into late-game and exhaust rapes him something of a wonder so better snowball fast with Ren imo.

He still seems like a worse nasus to me, only more mobile and dealing less damage

Renekton is ok now. But like Juicy said, he is like any other melee carry: exhaust, CC and magic burst destroys him.

You shouldn't jungle with Renek... he sucks at it.

right now i'm still abit torned between prioritising W or Q first, Fury empowered W does so much dmg its pretty ridiculous at the first 10 levels, makes for really easy kills if ur lane partners are competent enough, but u lose the lane staying power without maxing Q first and u farm so much slower without Q maxed...

right now i've been going the rout of D.Shield > CDR boots > Bruta > sunfire > complete youmu > BC then the game should be ending.

maybe its because i've been running the elementz masteries set-up of 23/6/1 i find that i get demoslished in team fight everytime if i don use my dice to get out after i blow all my skills, i'm running the same runes set ups as yours, i find MS is such a limiting factor for him, since he needs to gets close to off load his burst dmg, and hopefully nobody focus u and u can stay in the fight with ur ulti on...

this was before the renek buff, haven't been playing him much cause i couldn't play him properly and its messing up my win/loss ratio, gonna roll with him again later on..

also, does lifesteal work with his W?

max Q first because w range is shit, and the stun duration doesnt change depending on your levels
8/21/1. Why you run offense tree so dumb
cdr boots = bad
sunfire = bad
merc treads always
lifesteal works with w

because that was wat elementz was doing with renek lol, imma switch it up abit and try again later on...

W is more of a guilty pleasure for me, because off loading a fury W at early level is just so satisfying which normally does 400-500 dmg at about lvl 7..

Right now im loving renekton, i have been experimenting with caller's build and came up with this build. You reach 40% cdr really fast and get super tanky with around 170 Armor and 180 Mres, plus your Guardian Angel while doing insane dmg early game.

Skill Order: Q/E/Q/W/R then max Q+W
- E at lvl 2 lets u harass kinda like Leblanc, move in with slice and dice, Q everyone and return with the E proc.

Masteries: 8/21/1
i usually get Teleport+Ghost (i love teleport, it lets me be super aggressive and continuously buy all the cheap items for my build)

Runes:
arpen(red), flat armor(yellow), mres/lvl (blues), x2 move speed(quints) and x1 arpen(quint)

Item:
-> Sword+ Pot -> Brutalizer -> Boots -> [1] Y. GhostBlade -> [2] Brutalizer -> [3] Merc Thread -> [4] Spirit Visage -> [5] Guardian Angel -> [6] ????

Trying to decide between another tanky item or dmg item like Phantom Dancer, Infinity Edge or Frozen Mallet for my sixth item. Usually the game ends when i buy the B.F sword or Phage, so i haven't tested out which one will work better.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

You sure you need 21d? That's usually for champs who don't like minion aggro while harassing or who are uber squish at early levels. renekton loves fighting with creeps around, is not squish, cannot SOS, and no dodge spec either. If you are doing 21 defense consider running dodge yellow to abuse nimbleness proc off minions while laning cos 10 % movespeed is nice if you want to get that stun on someone.

21 utility or 15 offense or 21 offense IMO. I played Ren and I find his ability to do stuff very limiting without my summoner spells, whereas offense tree make early game kills easier. Flash really blows when you don't have utility tree so I think cleanse if you don't do utility.

did jungle renekton earlier, have to say i was quite pleased with it, despite how terribly i did. my poor performance was more a result of me being a braindead idiot than jungle renek being bad. his jungle speed is quite fast, had very high cs, surprised even myself. i'll probably spend more time refining it. currently running 1/16/14 with apen/armor/mres p lvl/apen, naturally qeqw r>q>w>e. i feel like he could potentially have a very strong lvl 4 gank with slice n dice and stun. in a tactile sense, razors/wriggles feel very strong and greatly increase his jungle speed, esp given how often i got double-procs on his w.
