Illaoi vs Renekton Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the Top lane: Illaoi the fighter/tank hybrid, Renekton the fighter/tank hybrid. Over 1,020 ranked games on patch 16.13.1, Illaoi closes out 56.5% of them. That is 6.5 points above even, so Renekton is one of the matchups Illaoi can lean on.
Both Illaoi and Renekton threaten mainly physical damage, so one resistance covers the lane. Illaoi carries 656 base health to Renekton’s 660, and 35 armour to 35. Level 18 armour lands at 120 for Illaoi and 123 for Renekton. Renekton also hits harder before items — 69 AD to 65. Movement speed: Illaoi 350, Renekton 345.
Illaoi threatens Leap of Faith; Renekton counters through Ruthless Predator. Leap of Faith and Dominus are the two buttons that end the exchange outright. Mana against Fury — the sustain maths are not symmetrical here.
This is a melee mirror in terms of reach — 125 versus 125 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
Read 56.5% as a trend: 1,020 games is useful, not final.
