Yorick vs Renekton

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick is a scaling splitpusher who must prepare graves and use Maiden to pressure side lanes effectively.
This matchup requires Yorick to manage Renekton's early lane pressure and avoid giving him easy short trades.

Trading pattern

Trade only when ghouls are ready and (E) successfully marks Renekton to leverage your damage over time.
Use (W) to trap Renekton when he commits to a short trade, punishing his limited mobility.
Avoid trading when Maiden is dead or (E) misses, as your threat drops significantly.

Danger windows

Beware when Renekton has high fury and empowered (W) available, as he can burst you quickly.
Respect (E) double dash for engage and disengage; avoid fights when he still has both casts.
Exercise caution after level 6 when Renekton activates (R) for increased health and damage, enabling all-ins.

Early game

Focus on safely building graves before engaging in trades to avoid Renekton's early burst.
Use (E) to mark Renekton and send ghouls only when graves are ready to maximize pressure.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 when Renekton's early aggression is strongest.

Power spikes

At level 6, summon Maiden (R) to gain sustained side-lane pressure and force Renekton to respond.
After preparing graves and landing (E), use ghouls and (W) to trap and punish Renekton's attempts to trade.
Respect Renekton's level 3 power spike when he has full (Q), (W), and (E) for burst trades and level 6 when (R) adds durability and all-in potential.

Win conditions

Win by setting up graves and landing (E) to send ghouls, then trap Renekton with (W) while Maiden pressures towers.
Deny Renekton early lane dominance by avoiding trades without graves and punishing his cooldowns with your setup.
Use Maiden's sustained pressure to force side-lane tower damage and create map pressure that Renekton must answer.
