Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

E-in + jungler

Only all-in when no jungler is covering — junglers play for Renekton's E engage a lot.

Punish his E-out

When he jumps in with E, catch the dash-back with your own E — it's a near-automatic kill.

Zone him level 1

Take W or Q level 1 and zone him off the wave — you stat-check him.

✕ DON'T

⛔

All-in when a jungler could be covering him — junglers play for Renekton.
