User blog comment:Dantasticjux/Mastering Top as Renekton! RAWR/@comment-10816220-20130613181317

I'm a top laner myself, and I openly agree that Renekton is a HUGE presence in top lane play when he's used. I find I can actually shut him down reasonably well as Garen - all I have to do is predict the Slice/Dice, and I activate W and E. Even if I DO get stunned, I don't actually care because I'm still spinning, and I have tenacity from W so I'm not stunned for long. Renekton puts on a lot of pressure prior to my getting black cleaver, but my jungler so much as going towards top lane will either get Renekton killed, or get him to back off for a bit (which lets me farm in peace for a bit). One I get cleaver, spinning to win just hurts too much for him to be able to keep doing this.

I respect Renekton and his lane presence, but he's not impossible to deal with.
