View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Renekton Top vs Kayle Top in patch 15.18 (25.18), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 70%+ in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

Renekton dominates the meta (6th most popular, 5.7% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Kayle (3.2% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of top lane's current powerhouses. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Press the Attack + Triumph combination (60.4% win rate) plus optimal itemization Eclipse, Black Cleaver, Sterak's Gage, and Mercury's Treads boosts your chances from 45.0% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Renekton's superior farming (7.56 vs 6.58/min, 3rd among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.98 CS/min natural advantage. Outclassed across the board: Kayle leads in both matchup win rate (55.0%) and damage (711 vs 688/min). Renekton must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Renekton maintains better KDA (1.90, 31st place vs 40th for Kayle), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Kayle as Renekton (Top)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Renekton deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Kayle deals primarily magic damage (71.47%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Renekton is higher farming statistics (ranked 3rd among role champions) (versus 25th for Kayle), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.8 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Renekton Top versus Kayle Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Renekton player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Kayle player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Renekton tips:

  • Slice and Dice excels at harassing maneuvers. Slice in, follow up with another skill and then Dice back out to safety.
  • Cull the Meek drains an enormous amount of life when used in the middle of the fray. You can use this to bait opponents into thinking you are weaker than you really are.
  • Cooldown reduction is especially good for Renekton, allowing him to both quickly build up and use his Fury.

Playing Against Kayle

  • Divine Judgment only grants Kayle or her allies immunity to damage. Slows and stuns can still be applied, so trap them if they're being overzealous.
  • Kayle is usually a fragile target. If you see her ultimate cast on an ally, switch to attacking her.
  • Kayle starts the game as a weaker melee champion. Try to put her behind before she ascends to her ranged form.
