Renekton owns levels 1-2: his auto-attacks and fury generation let him win any point-blank exchange before your Q pattern comes online. Do not contest last hits inside his range — take the CS you can safely and give ground when his fury bar fills, because an empowered W stun into a slice-and-dice combo can chunk half your bar. Hold your E charges purely for disengage here, not for trades. Ward the river; a fed Renekton plus jungle pressure is how this lane ends.
