Overview

Gragas aims to control the lane with short trades and use his sustain to deny Renekton's early aggression.

This is a control vs snowball matchup where Gragas must survive early pressure and punish Renekton's overextensions.

Trading pattern

Trade compactly by preparing (W) then engaging with (E) to stun, followed by quick disengage to leverage passive healing.
Punish Renekton after he uses both (E) dashes forward by landing your (E) and (R) for displacement.
Avoid trading when your (E) is on cooldown or passive sustain is unavailable to reduce risk of losing burst trades.

Danger windows

Respect Renekton's high fury state with empowered (W) and available double (E) dashes as he can quickly stun and burst.
Be cautious when Renekton reaches level 6 and activates (R), increasing his health and all-in threat.
Avoid missing (E) as it removes your main engage and escape tool, leaving you vulnerable to Renekton's burst.

Early game

Use (Q) to zone and slow Renekton before he stacks fury for trades.
Take short trades around level 3 when your full kit is available and passive sustain is up.
Avoid extended fights early to prevent Renekton from using his double dash and stun combo effectively.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full kit to perform short burst trades and punish Renekton's cooldowns.
At level 6, use (R) to isolate Renekton or disrupt his all-in attempts, forcing him to respect your displacement.
After your first AP or tank item, trade aggressively around your increased burst or durability to pressure Renekton.

Win conditions
