If you’ve been wondering just how Renekton will feel in game, check out his Champion Spotlight above. He’s definitely looking very strong, with a playstyle a bit like Xin Zhao but with more mobility. That’s right, I said more mobility. Expect to get crushed by him today.
At one point, Phreak addresses an apparently OP little chain of events by saying, ‘remember that I have 2-5 levels on all my opponents and 6000 gold worth of items at 18 minutes.’ So…his farming potential is not overpowered? Remember when you said, ‘because you should always be able to heal yourself, you should be farming minions very quickly,’ at the middle of the video? I’m fine with the existence of melee carries, but we’re talking about a melee champion that got 110 minion kills in 12 minutes.
All of this really belongs in my impression post for later today, so I’ll leave you with this. I think Renekton is going to be exactly like Xin Zhao – extremely powerful, able to jungle, but much better in lane because he’s such a huge threat to his opponents.
