I should really strart recording my game and put some replays online. "Falling off lategame" is not part of my vocabulary when I play that Croco. I find it sad that so many experience this issue.

BC/hydra/BT combo all the fucking way. When you just in a teamfight in the middle of everyone with some fury (activating your ult early is sometimes worth it, provided it does not compromise the engage) and unleash the Kraken, red lifebars shall melt.

Protip: hydra has an awesome active on a 10 second CD, and it can ba used while you are procing your stun.

You just build him too tanky. Sunfire/SV/mercs is often enough, or you can replace the cape with Randuins if you feel like it. Some even use Forzen Mallet, which is a fine option against the most evasive enemies.

As long as you don't get poked too much and go all in with your team, Renekton is perfectly fine. And if you die, who cares ? You've probably dealt so much AoE damage! Your job is done.

TL;DR: Renekton can be played as an assassin early and even lategame under the right circumstances, but he is definitely more of a first line fighter. Soak up high amounts of damage, deal even more. That's the point. Building 5 defensive items and a black cleaver will only make your a minor threat easily ignored/killed 1v1. No one is gonna focus you if you are not fearsome.

That being said, I still want him to get the Nasus treatment.
