Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillBoth champions have punishing level-1 autos — Chomp's AD steal matches Renekton's base damage; Q on his first step up, then hold position and do not chase.
Level 2RenektonRenekton's fury-empowered W stun comes online and he can E-stun-Q-E before Frozen Domain equalises the exchange — hold W for the counter-plant after his gap-close.
Level 3RenektonHis full E-W-Q-E combo at level 3 outraces your healing if he lands it clean; Pillar of Ice behind him cuts the escape E and forces a longer fight you are not yet winning.
Levels 4-5Even / skillRenekton bleeds fury between trades and your Chomp ranks up — neither side has a decisive edge, but do not trade with Q on cooldown or he wins the short burst window.
Level 6RenektonHis R inflates combat stats for a full sustained all-in, and Subjugate drains less from a bruiser than a tank; survive this window by using Pillar to interrupt his second E dash.
First itemEven / skillTrinity Force Spellblade fires off every Chomp cast — your duel output rises sharply, and Renekton's item scaling trails yours; force extended trades in Frozen Domain now.
Two+ itemsTrundleRenekton has no meaningful late-game scaling; lock him in your Frozen Domain with Pillar of Ice, stack the Chomp AD theft across the fight, and Subjugate whatever armour he has built.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Renekton owns levels 2 and 3 — his E-dash into fury-empowered W stun is a point-click burst combo that fires before your Frozen Domain can equalise the exchange. At level 1 you can trade evenly: Q-Chomp his first last-hit attempt to front-load the AD steal, but back off before he stacks fury. The moment he hits level 2, respect the W stun — if he lands it, he chains the full E-W-Q-E and you lose that trade cleanly. Keep the wave slightly on your side of mid-lane so his E dash starts in the open rather than from river brush; it does not help you avoid the stun but it reduces his ability to double-dash all-in off the flank.
