Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonRenekton's Cull the Meek heals back your E poison before it stacks and his raw level-1 stats let him trade profitably even through a Blinding Shot — respect the range and last-hit safely.
Level 2Even / skillBoth kits are online but Blinding Shot now answers his empowered-W auto follow-up; the duel is decided by who baits the other's cooldown first.
Level 3Even / skillYour Q blind cancels his auto damage in the empowered-W window and Move Quick lets you disengage before Dominus, making this a genuine skill-match at full kit.
Levels 4-5RenektonRenekton's Ruthless Predator stun is at maximum fury-generation efficiency and Slice-and-Dice closes too fast for Blinding Shot to fully negate the combo before it lands.
Level 6TeemoYour first Noxious Trap placements seal off every W dash angle — he cannot gap-close without triggering a slow that bleeds his fury and reveals the all-in before it starts.
First itemEven / skillLiandry's Anguish DoT rivals his Steelcaps-and-Sheen durability spike, making every mushroom field a genuine kill threat, but his CC can still punish overextensions.
Two+ itemsRenektonBlack Cleaver and Death's Dance let Renekton survive your poison loop in a straight duel, but your Noxious Trap field controls the sidelane map so he wins fights you never take.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Renekton owns level 1 harder than almost any other matchup you face — his Cull the Meek heals back your E poison ticks before they compound, and his base AD means even a Q-blinded auto sequence still gets him minion gold and sustain. Hold your Blinding Shot for the moment he steps up to last-hit, not as a panic button, because he will bait the blind then back off and wait for your cooldown. Levels 2 and 3 are a skill duel: you now have all three abilities, so the moment his empowered Ruthless Predator stun is on cooldown, step up with Toxic Shot and back off immediately with Move Quick — never let him bank two Slice-and-Dice charges to re-engage after your Q lands.
