Guide to Countering Azir as Renekton

Tips for Playing as Renekton against Azir

Cull the Meek drains an enormous amount of life when used in the middle of the fray. You can use this to bait opponents into thinking you are weaker than you really are.

Slice and Dice excels at harassing maneuvers. Slice in, follow up with another skill and then Dice back out to safety.

Cooldown reduction is especially good for Renekton, allowing him to both quickly build up and use his Fury.

Advice to Win Against Azir

Try to think of Sand Soldiers as fire. Don't stand in the fire.

Azir relies on his soldiers to deal damage and can only move them so often. Try to capitalize on windows of time when his soldiers are stationary.

Azir has immense damage over a prolonged amount of time but lacks the upfront burst of other mages. Try to burst him out before he can turn a confrontation around.
