How to win lane as Renekton against Locke · 50.36% win rate (1,241 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
You stat-check him in every honest window — his only outs are the mark tax and the totem, so give him neither and Renekton runs the lane.
Track: Locke's Q — Ritual Nails (10–6s cooldown). The nail marks are his whole engine — without 2-3 stacks on you his blink-in barely dents; sidestep the recasts and punish the ten seconds of nothing.
Read from Renekton's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Locke.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | Your level-1 Q swing out-sustains and out-trades his auto pressure — the opening is yours. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | At 2, 50 Fury turns W into a 1.5s stun and a bigger Q heal — short trades are all yours. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | Level 3 Slice-and-Dice plus the empowered W stun wins every all-in you start. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renekton | Through 4-5 his blink is a flat 10s and your dash is 13s — step up on his cooldown, not yours. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it evens: his ult threat looms and forces you to respect the all-in for the first time. |
| First item | Locke | After his first item, Purgatory executes you post-combo when your Slice charges are spent — his stage. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Post-items it is a skill fight: his burst answers your tankiness on even footing, decided by execution. |
Levels 1 through 5 belong to you: Q out-sustains his auto pressure, Fury-empowered healing keeps every short trade profitable, and Slice-and-Dice into the empowered W stun wins any all-in you start. His E dash resets are his escape plan — your dash-stun cancels them, so you set every tempo beat.
