Rene is... not exactly the best counter.

Sure, you can outtrade her early on, but unless you get a early kill advantage, she's going to outscale you by a wider margin come mid game.

I would suggest playing either Trynd or nasus. Both can outduel her late game, and (trynd especially) can abuse her low(ish) early game damage to scale safely. Vlad can be OK if you know what you're doing, but vlad isn't exactly the best duelist in a 1v1.
