How to beat Renata Glasc as Rell: the early game

You own the early lane: your W-Q dash-stun is instant point-blank lockdown, while Renata's Q (Handshake) is a slow, telegraphed grab she must land to have any answer. Walk up from behind the minion wave so her Q can't cleanly hit you, and you win the level-2 all-in — she has no dash and folds to your CC. Her tether drags whoever it catches, so keep the bind on your carry and commit only once it has been spent. Crash down onto their ADC rather than onto Renata, and let the stolen resists rather than a poke war be what accumulates through the early levels.
