How to win lane as K'Sante against Renekton · 48.75% win rate over 1,360 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | You have only Q and no engage at level 1 while Renekton is a point-click bully — concede the level and farm from max Q range. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | He spikes hard at 2 with W stun into a fury-empowered Q combo; you don't get a real trading tool until 3, so don't contest CS in melee. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your full Q-W combo arrives — charge Path Maker through his W stun and Q3 knock-up to neutralize his early dominance. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You trade around his fury bar: bait the W stun with unstoppable W, then Q3, and your bulk wins the even exchange. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | All Out eats his W stun and your duelist profile out-DPS's a Renekton whose fury burst window has already passed. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your first tank-engage item makes you durable and disruptive while his point-click damage is starting to fall off — slight edge to you. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | Renekton has no sustained threat and falls off hard into items, while your armor stacking and R peel reclaim the matchup outright. |
Renekton owns the first two levels outright — he has a point-click W stun and fury-empowered Q while you have only Ntofo Strikes and no engage at level 1, so don't walk into melee range to last-hit or he'll W-stun you and dump a fury combo. Soak XP from the tip of Q and give up a little CS. The moment you hit 3 and have your full Q-W combo, the lane flips: you can answer his all-in by charging Path Maker (you're unstoppable, so his W stun does nothing) and Q3 to knock him up.
