Poppy vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by denying Renekton's dash engages with (W) and punishing his positioning near walls with (E).
Focus on anti-dash play and terrain leverage to mitigate Renekton's early lane pressure and burst trades.

Trading pattern

Trade around your passive shield and terrain, using (Q) for damage and slowing Renekton before retreating.
Hold (W) to deny Renekton's empowered (W) stun and punish after he uses both (E) dashes.
Threaten (E) only when near walls to guarantee the stun and force Renekton to respect your engage.

Danger windows

Beware when Renekton has high fury and both (E) dashes available; he can engage and exit trades safely.
Avoid fighting away from walls where your (E) stun threat is minimal and Renekton can trade freely.
Be cautious post-level 6 when Renekton activates (R), increasing his health and damage for all-ins.

Early game

Use early levels to position near walls and hold (W) to stop (E) dash commits.
Trade short bursts with (Q) and passive shield, avoiding extended fights before your tank item.
Avoid wasting (W) early; wait for Renekton's dash to commit before activating it.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to disengage or isolate Renekton after he commits, forcing him to respect your knockaway.
After your first tank item, leverage improved durability to outlast Renekton's burst and maintain lane control.
Respect Renekton's level 3 spike when he has full combo and fury for empowered trades; avoid extended fights then.
