Matchup Summary

Detailed Tips

  1. 01

    Level 1 E Start - Try To Cheese PTA Proc or Conq With E1 > 3 Auto's > Disengage With E2.

  2. 02

    Play For Level 2/3 Kill Angle - Once you chunk out Soraka level 1, you're most likely able to kill her with Your W, Dash or Flash up. Look to shove the wave around your kill timer, so you're able to make Soraka lose a lot more.

  3. 03

    Abuse Renekton's Early Game - In this match up Renekton is essentially able to do whatever he simply wants. With that said, really hone into your strong early to mid game strengths to help you dominate and win the game. Play to deny your enemy of gold and xp, play to proxy and generally lead any top side skirmishes with your insane lane advantage.

  4. 04

    Avoid Soraka Q - Soraka doesn’t really have any threats when it comes to the lane, however Soraka can use her Q poke to sustain through the lane. You can easily counter her sustain potential by avoiding her Q poke, as this will result in her struggling to sustain allowing for easy kills against her.

  5. 05

    Play Wave On Your Side - Playing the wave on your side essentially means playing wave states on your side of the map, via abusing wave manipulation tactics or freezing on your side of the map. Simply use this to help you combo on your laner, taking away any space from them being able to trade you back (This also helps prevent the enemy running you down with their extended or sustained movement speed abilities). You can also use this wave state to run down your opponent with your abilities up, helping you obtain kills a lot easier vs stalemate or ranged match ups. Look to do this when your opponents are below 50% HP, or potentially make a mistake to provide you an all in opportunity to run them down.

  6. 06

    Heavy Trades - Being that Renekton carries a lot of high damage, Renekton is able to just jump on his target nearly at will. Whenever your laners present you with the ability to jump on them, simply take the opportunity to burst them as much as you can. If you didn't kill them already from that, use your options of freezing or your tower diving ability to help you finish off your opponent.

  7. 07

    Respect Soraka R - Soraka’s R can be quite the game changing ability if she’s able to provide it, as it can massively heal her teammates on top of also removing any grievous wounds applied onto targets. Soraka R is a giant ability so if you’re able to remove that from her by trying to force dives then disengaging, or just generally look for kill trades, then this will present a giant advantage across kills on the map.

  8. 08

    Build Eclipse, Stridebreaker or Profane - Go Eclipse for consistent power through mid game and damage mitigation with the shield. / Go Stridebreaker to cripple Soraka's mobility and provide teammates with additional utility. / Go Profane for full damage focused playstyles.

  9. 09

    Mid Game + Teamfighting Tips - Soraka’s power through the mid to late game stages is on par with a lot of late game carries in general, due to her insane healing potential out of her kit. Renekton’s role against Soraka is to essentially hard focus her within the fight, as your damage and catch potential is way too high for Soraka to deal with. Picking Soraka in solo lane is also very hard to pilot without a front liner to protect her, so abuse her comps disadvantage to force an engage solely onto her to easily win the fight.
