Renekton vs Teemo Counter Pick

A 375-unit range difference, 500 against 125, sets the terms before either champion does anything else, and Renekton’s 44.2% over 907 games recorded in patch 16.13.1 follows from it. The specific problems:

• Blinding Dart removes his basic attacks for its duration, and because Reign of Anger builds Fury from attacks, the blind also switches off his ability empowerment.
• Toxic Shot poisons on every hit and keeps ticking for four seconds, so Teemo wins extended exchanges without ever standing still.
• Noxious Trap seeds the ground that Slice and Dice would dash through, turning the engage tool into a liability.
• Guerrilla Warfare grants invisibility while stationary, which makes any brush approach unreliable.

On paper Renekton is far ahead: 660 base health against 615, 69 attack damage against 54, 35 armor against 24, and 345 movement speed against 330 before Move Quick is active. That advantage only converts inside the 0.75-second window Ruthless Predator opens, ideally with more than 50 Fury banked so the disable runs longer. Everything else is spacing discipline—hugging the minion wave, using the healing on Cull the Meek to offset poison ticks, and treating a spent Blinding Dart as the only safe moment to commit. Teemo is rated 6 for difficulty against Renekton’s 3, yet the mechanical burden sits with the melee side.
