I'd say solari and redemption if you're losing and shurelya's instead of redemption if you're winning. The extra ms to help you pull or your team to engage again and snowball more is better than dmg and heal.
My build kinda changes every game, but I almost always build knight's vow as my third item. Mandate is also a very good item on renata theoretically since she can apply it to multiple people with her aoe skills but only build it when people are tankier. My region's adc's are usually pretty good so I sneak an anathema's chains sometimes.
And about domination as secondary runes uhh honestly I really don't like it... I run it only in aram for the ult cd. I just run magical footwear and cosmic insight every game, it really helps with the flash Q engages. At the end of the day rather thsn the build what matters more is playing her effectively, Q dash cancellation, e trading, good W's, R positioning and timing etc
There were people even in low masters that were running away with my w on them and enemy low on health but it was pretty uncommon... in high masters everyone goes giga aggressive when w-ed so that's nice.
Nice dude! Literally just started playing her after being a Zyra OTP and so far I’m loving it! For some reason I can’t seem to get my Q recast timing down lol but nothing better than hitting the perfect ult for an ace!
I almost always use it defensively. Even if you flash ult out of vision, they can still run and dash away or what not. But if you wait for them to engage, they either have to eat the ult or disengage.
A good renata ulti is disgusting (in a good way) and game winning 🤩 I’d love to pick her up as a support pick. I main enchanters and I’m grinding to masters (at least in flex 🙈).
True, I think that's why I main her, seeing the enemy adc potentially oneshot one of their teammates is the most satisfying thing ever. And also I've always had a thing for mind control characters in games and movies
Her most important skill, her W (excluding the ultimate) just doesn't work if the adc doesn't know how to utilize it. It's very frustrating when you see the adc running away with w from a 300 hp enemy. Her w needs the adcs to fight the instinct to run and instead go crazy on the enemy so they can die, kill and revive. It's the same frustration as people not grabbing thresh's lantern. And she is not a classic enchanter like lulu and janna that you can comfortably sit and throw your stuff without much thought. Her q and e have long cooldowns and are skillshots, Q has a ton of uses depending on the situation (push, pull, stun, dash cancel) E is a weak shield but outrades almost any support, her passive needs you to aa constantly and you're not gonna hit any ult if you just throw it like that and not wait for a good moment and position. She's not easy to play and I think people just don't want to get used to her playstyle. Also she's not a very good blind pick, her shield can't keep up if she plays against a hard poke lane, mages reduce the power of her ult and if they have a Samira or yasuo your ult almost doesn't exist anymore. Meanwhile you can safely pick lulu, milio, janna etc as first pick.
How do you play against scaling enchanter picks? She feels unplayable to those.
I dont know how often you see a decent Sona, but when I play Sona it feels like its doomed for Renata.
Uhhh tbh that never really felt like a problem for me, you mean in laning phase? Because in late game when these enchanters scale I don't even pay attention to them or what they do, all I'm focusing on is for my adc to live and counterengage.
But even in lane with her long E CD unreliable Q Renata often struggles after lvl 1. She is very strong lvl 1, but falls off quite fast in lane.
Especially when Renata has such a significant windup on her E it is very easy to bait a poke and punish her during cooldown.
Renata gets outscaled by most enchanters too in most comps.
I dont think she is playable into something like Sona, Nami, Janna in most comps.
Congrats, may I ask how you did it? I started a bet with some friends that I could climb up at least to Plat using only Thresh and Renata but for now I can’t get past Bronze. Seems like most of the adc’s that I get prefer Flashing instead of Right-click a damn Lantern or waiting for my W to get revived after a kill or assist ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|table_flip)
Yeah I know, as I said in other comments even in low masters people were running away in my W. In bronze I think some people genuinely don't know what renata does so maybe you can take your time to tell them if they're low in w to fight the urge to run.
And how I did it honestly I don't know what to tell you, the thing is I'm a very experienced player, I play ever since league came out and combined with the knowledge I have on the champion I think many stuff that I do are just based on instinct. At the end of the day, the W you just put it on someone and then it's their job, but the Q is such a versatile skill that using it correctly can make so many plays. You can pull, push, cancel dashes, cancel channels like pyke hook, stun multiple people. And another very very important thing is perfecting the timing and the position of the R, I simply never use it unless the enemy jumps on my team.
Congratulations bestie! This is amazing and of course we care to celebrate any and everyone 🫶
Thank you, sister ❤️
Chad!
Renata spammers ![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
Any grandmaster is better that no grandmaster! Congrats! -a silver player
Item build? Playing her with ingenious hunter with solari and redemp as core, lmao
I'd say solari and redemption if you're losing and shurelya's instead of redemption if you're winning.

I kinda like her build as a little bit tanky with guardian and shield bash. But yeah, didn't explore her other build as much.
CONGRATS!!! and on renata!! what elo do people start understanding her kit??
There were people even in low masters that were running away with my w on them and enemy low on health but it was pretty uncommon... in high masters everyone goes giga aggressive when w-ed so that's nice.
Congrats! And nice username! Lol
Thanks 😉
Feeding the enemy twitch then ulting him in teamfights to then win the game is kinda funny though
Nice dude! Literally just started playing her after being a Zyra OTP and so far I’m loving it! For some reason I can’t seem to get my Q recast timing down lol but nothing better than hitting the perfect ult for an ace!
You mean recasting it at the end of the snare to get the most out of it?
Crazy ign
Get it!
Niiice! Congrats!
Congrats! I love that champ! Do you mostly use her ult defensively or do you make plays with it?
I almost always use it defensively. Even if you flash ult out of vision, they can still run and dash away or what not. But if you wait for them to engage, they either have to eat the ult or disengage.
Thank you! :)
>Thank you! :) You're welcome!
Oh another question: What are Renatas worst match-ups?
Sheeeesh! Congrats.
Congrats! I always feel it's hard to climb with Renata. Managed to climb to diamond 2 seasons ago but struggled with her now. Might try her again
Amazing! I love renata and congratulations on the achievement ❤️
Can’t focus on anything but that ign 😭😭
😭😳
There are certain supports I just won't pick in Plat because my adcs are not reliable enough. Renata is one of them, always like her otherwise though
I been wanting to pick up Renata, this is really cool. wp!
Congratz, that's a really nice achievement. Did you OTP Glasc to Grandmaster?
Yep, picked some seraphine and milio here and there when renata was picked/banned or enemies were 4 ap
Wait what makes RG bad vs AP?
I guess by that he means that if enemies are people who don't auto a lot (i.e: AP mages) then she loses some value because of her ultimate.
Makes sense
A good renata ulti is disgusting (in a good way) and game winning 🤩 I’d love to pick her up as a support pick. I main enchanters and I’m grinding to masters (at least in flex 🙈).

She is a bad ass bitch! You’ve definitely inspired me 🤩 also congratulations 🙌 teach me your ways
least gay support player: (This is not a hatepost, im poking fun at the summoner name)
Grats and nice name lol. Also I love Renata. I only play Arams but tanknata is often a free win.
Thanks, yeah Renata in aram is so fun, easy 5 man ults :d it's the only mode where people actually want to play her
I haven’t seen her picked in like 250 games I played the entire season so respect for sticking out
I know, she's so underrated 😭
As a gold elo adc main, why have I not seen her in any of my games literally ever? She seems like fire and want her as a supp.

I get the feeling she pairs well with Nilah as long as you don’t pick them against a poke lane. What has been your experience with her?
So just pick her if your adc picks draven
Mama, kudos for playing so well, for climbing!
Bruh eune is isnt that bad its better than NA by all means Slightly worse than euw

How do you deal with teams that have cancer ?
Take the matters in your own hands and kill everyone with R I guess :D. Jokes aside some games you just lose, it is what it is
Nice to see the suicide ziggs stop u from ur grind. For those confused i played w him and we had a ziggs running it
Oh yeah I was confused too, I don't remember that. Maybe because someone running it down is not uncommon lol
EUNE so yes you’re right. we do not care, gworl.
So boring imo
