Favour timeline — the windows in Renekton's game plan

Read from Renekton's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.

This is Renekton's own plan; across 2,596 pooled games the lane is Dr. Mundo-favoured.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonMundo's Q cleaver deals percent-current HP — at level 1 you have no dash to gap-close safely, so last-hit at your Q tip and don't walk into cleaver range.
Level 2RenektonE-in the moment you hit level 2 and drop an empowered W-stun: his Heart Zapper isn't built and his regen is minimal, so this is your cleanest kill attempt of the entire game.
Level 3RenektonAll three abilities online — E-W-Q combo heals you for massive HP on the champion bonus and he has no CC or burst to punish the trade pattern.
Levels 4-5Even / skillBoth of you are scaling in opposite directions here — Mundo's regen is starting to matter but his ult isn't up yet; land empowered Ws and respect that he's no longer a punching bag.
Level 6Even / skillYour Dominus gives you enough HP buffer and Fury to chain two empowered Ws before his regen stabilises the fight, but if he pops Maximum Dosage disengage with second E — this is the last even window.
First itemDr. MundoHeart Zapper resets and first tank item mean his passive regen compounds with item healing; your Sundered Sky spike cannot out-damage his recovery and he begins to own extended trades.
Two+ itemsDr. MundoMaximum Dosage plus full tank items makes him unkillable in a 1v1 — his percent-HP E passive shreds you while his ult heals back everything your combo dealt.

How to beat Dr. Mundo as Renekton: the early game

At level 1 you have no dash, so respect his Q cleaver range — it shreds a percent of your current HP every throw, and eating two or three before level 2 puts you in a worse spot than the matchup already is. The moment you hit level 2, E into him and immediately drop an empowered W; his Heart Zapper is not yet built and his passive regen is negligible, so the stun window is yours to abuse. Q during the stun for the champion-bonus heal and you exit the trade healthy. He cannot punish your disengaging second-E dash, so repeat this pattern every Fury cycle.
