Playing Against Renata Glasc
SupportPatch 16.2.1
What They Do
Renata is a disrupter enchanter who specializes in anti-engage. She punishes teams that dive her or clump up, using to turn your own damage against you and to keep her carries alive after they should have died.
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Small purple glow on you after her auto-attack | You are marked. If her ally hits you, you take bonus max HP damage. Don't let her and her ADC focus the same target for free via . | |
| A mechanical arm missile that roots | If hits, she can pull/push you. If she pushes you into another champion, both are stunned. Stay spread from your ADC. | |
| A spinning chemtech buff on an ally | This buffs their speed. If the ally dies while it's active, they revive for 3 seconds. If they get a takedown during that time, they stay alive. Stop hitting them if they enter the zombie state unless you can instantly finish them. | |
| Two parallel missiles | Shields her allies and damages/slows enemies. It's her main poke and waveclear tool. The cooldown is 14-10s depending on rank. | |
| A massive, slow-moving purple chemical wave | If hit, you go Berserk and attack the nearest unit (prioritizing your own allies). If you are a fed ADC, will make you kill your own support. |
Respect
- !The Revive→Committing all your cooldowns to kill her ADC is useless if they get a takedown during and stay alive. You will lose the 2v2 trade every time.
- !into Tower→If you are posturing aggressively near her turret, she can you and throw you directly into tower range for a free kill.
- !Anti-Dive Ultimate→Using while your team is jumping on her ensures your frontline will kill your backline. It is the ultimate 'don't touch me' button.
- !Burst Damage→Her level 1-2 trade is surprisingly strong because her ADC can proc the mark multiple times, dealing percentage health damage.
Punish
- +is on cooldown (28-20s)→This is her most powerful defensive tool. Once it is used, she and her ADC have zero safety net. All-in them immediately while it's down.
- +She misses (16s cd)→This is her only hard crowd control. If she misses, she cannot peel herself or her ADC. This is your best opening for a jungle gank.
- +Low mana from spam→Renata's has a high mana cost. If she is poking constantly, watch her mana bar; if she's below 100 mana, she can't cast her save-combo.
- +Immobile and slow base stats→Renata has zero dashes. Pick long-range poke like Lux or Xerath to force her out of lane, as she has no way to close the gap or sustain through it.
Laning Tips
- •Stand behind minions to block , but don't stand directly on top of your ADC.
- •If the enemy ADC is buffed by and about to 'die', use CC on them during their zombie state to prevent them from getting a takedown.
- •Her missiles travel in a fixed path; step to the side, not backward, to dodge the slow.
- •Pick champions with Disengage (Janna, Milio) to reset the fight after she uses .
- •If you get hit by , spam your movement away from your allies to prevent her from stunning both of you with the recast.
- •Don't take short trades against ; she wins them if her ADC follows up once. Either commit to the kill or stay out of her auto range.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠Never group up in narrow jungle paths; covers the entire width of most corridors.
- ⚠If you are a fed auto-attacker, buy Quicksilver Sash. If you get hit by , you will delete your own team in seconds.
- ⚠Renata wins by counter-engaging. Try to bait out her before fully committing your team's dive.
- ⚠Target Renata first if she's out of position. If she dies, she cannot cast or , and her active buffs expire.
- ⚠The wave is very slow; you can often outrun it or use a mobility spell to dash through it if your timing is perfect.
