Statistical Matchup Analysis

Renekton dominates the meta (6th most popular, 5.7% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Yasuo (3.1% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of top lane's current powerhouses. Meta strength confirmed: Renekton's superior tier rating (B+ vs C) translates into a solid 52.5% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Renekton ranks 40th in win rate among Top champions.

How to Beat Yasuo as Renekton (Top)

The Renekton versus Yasuo matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Renekton deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Yasuo deals mainly physical damage (88.11%), 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 18th for Yasuo), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.4 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Renekton Top versus Yasuo Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Renekton player to maintain constant pressure on Yasuo, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

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 Yasuo

  • Steel Tempest is very narrow. Dodge laterally if possible.
  • When Yasuo lands two Steel Tempests in a row, his next will fire a tornado. Watch and listen for the associated sound to prepare to dodge.
  • Yasuo is at his weakest just after he has launched a whirlwind. Engage at that point.
  • Yasuo's shield from Resolve lasts only 2 seconds. Dealing damage to him will trigger it. Wait it out, then engage.
