for me, first item for Renek is BT, why?

because it gives him more sustain as well as damage... and most people underestimate this... so with BT, you can probably bait people to 1 v 1 you on the tower then stun and cull the meek their faces...

tanky, bruiser type renek is ok but really gets outdated since he doesn't have an execute skill like other bruisers(darius,voli,garen) or and aoe CC(shen,malph,amumu) or a way to protect your carries(shen,maokai,leona) as well as his only CC puts him in danger because it mini-stuns him...

i think building him with damage is more advantageous since most people won't bother focusing you and your ulti gives enough hp to survive most encounter... as well as building AD would increase you team fighting capabilities...

FYI, my build goes = BT,Randuin,Boots,Last whisper, then either triforce,IE,Black Cleaver,frozen mallet or spirit visage...
