StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonRenekton point-clicks you with W's stun and fury combo while you have no shield, no combo, and no mana — just farm with Q range.
Level 2RenektonHe still owns Level 2 with an empowered Cull the Meek before your W exists — never trade into 50 Fury.
Level 3Even / skillYour Q and W come online — unstoppable Bellows Breath percent-HP poke and a shield break his free-trade cadence and even the lane.
Levels 4-5OrnnA second combo point lets you E-into-Q-pillar knock-up the instant he dashes in, and W shields his fury answer.
Level 6OrnnR's charging elemental and reactivated dash double knock-up win the all-in his fury combo used to dominate — bait Ruthless Predator first.
First itemOrnnYour Heartsteel/Sunfire spike plus W-poke turns you into the bully exactly as his point-click combo starts falling off.
Two+ itemsOrnnHe has no sustained threat post-fury; your tank items and level-13 Masterwork upgrades make you unkillable in the 1v1.

How to beat Renekton as Ornn: the early game

Levels 1-2 are his — Renekton point-clicks you with W's stun and a fury-empowered combo while you have no shield, no combo, and barely any mana, so just farm with the tip of Q and refuse to trade autos into his fury. Don't waste E chasing; you can't catch a dash-empowered Renekton and you'll get stunned for it. The moment you hit 3 and have W, your unstoppable Bellows Breath shreds a chunk of his max HP and shields his return combo, which is the first time you make him think twice.
