Forgive this noobish question, but I'm just wondering, exactly what is Renekton supposed to be doing on a team? Granted, I've only played a handful of games with him so far (and yes, many of them were bot games -_-), but I struggle trying to be useful every time. His Q heal doesn't really seem to give him much sustain (yes I'm hitting champs with it), his E dash feels inadequately short for closing distance, and his basic E-W-Q-E combo, while fun, doesn't really seem to do much damage, and I always get punished for moving up into enemy lines. I don't think the problem is my build, though I don't build in any particular order: I start with Doran's, Boots, Brutalizer, then move to Ionian's, a few of BT/BC/LW/FM, maybe finish Youmuu's, plus some situational tankiness.

In short, if I go defensive he's not a threat, if I go offensive he's not sustainable, and if I go balanced he's just a jack of a few trades and a master of none. I'd like to get better with him (frankly I love the way he visually looks), but I just feel like dead weight on the team even if I don't feed, and it's getting to the point where I'm wondering if the problem is that I'm just not good with bruisers in general. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
