How to Beat K'Sante 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. K'Sante deals mainly physical damage (82.65%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Renekton is higher farming statistics (ranked 3rd among role champions) (versus 54th for K'Sante), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.1 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Renekton Top versus K'Sante 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 K'Sante 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 K'Sante

    • Stay spread out to minimize the impact of Lee Sin's ultimate, Dragon's Rage.
    • Lee Sin has powerful tools to combat physical damage in Iron Will and Cripple but he is still vulnerable to magic damage.
    • Lee Sin relies heavily on following up with his abilities. Use disables to prevent him from chaining together his abilities and attacks.
