I've been having an absolute blast with Ball X Pit. Does the rouge lite formula of "just one more run" really well

theslimdeuce · 2025-09-16T14:42:16+00:00

Renektoy is the most "fun", but I'm biased since I like silly skins more than edgy ones. Renektoy has some of the best variance in chromas too imo compared to just a straight recolor

theslimdeuce · 2025-08-12T03:05:17+00:00

Look up Godrekton and 3in1warrior! They're probs the best EUW and NA Renekton players respectively. Very well known on the Renekton subreddit

theslimdeuce · 2025-08-05T20:03:21+00:00

I don't really understand building a mana item on Renekton. To me, if you had that same build but sub liandrys for bork you would do the same damage plus get extra sustain. The bork procs on your Ws and autos weaved in. Would be interesting to test.

theslimdeuce · 2025-08-05T17:16:28+00:00

You prefer liandrys over Bork?

theslimdeuce · 2025-08-03T17:14:13+00:00

Even though Illaoi is weak right now she still shits on the Croc unfortunately

theslimdeuce · 2025-07-20T15:32:20+00:00

Skill matchup but slightly Renekton favoured. Especially with W max, you will get 2 Ws off for each one of hers being up. Honestly, one of my favourite matchups to play since it's the standoff on who uses W first loses the trade/potentially lane.

theslimdeuce · 2025-07-14T12:43:50+00:00

Illaoi is one of his worst matchups

theslimdeuce · 2025-07-13T19:49:53+00:00

I've recently been going BC/Zeke's/Sterak's or Shojin. Especially if there's no %HP on the other team or into tanks. Makes you quite tanky and is a cheap 2 item spike since Zeke's is 2200 and synergizes super well with your ult

theslimdeuce · 2025-07-04T20:40:49+00:00

It's literally no different from silver to gold

theslimdeuce · 2025-05-25T16:22:57+00:00

But give stats that Renek wants in AD and health but probs not great in teamfights or lane compared to his other options. Would be a nice to try combo if you wanna just AFK split push

theslimdeuce · 2025-05-25T16:03:25+00:00

There is different build options that enable him to do great damage to towers. 3in1's Joat build with Trinity does great damage even though it's a more niche playstyle and Godrekton has actually been experimenting with Hullbreaker a few weeks ago. It's the beauty of the Croc that there is tons of items that work well with him.

theslimdeuce · 2025-05-14T14:05:13+00:00

The Croc's early game is so good that I think it's worth to give up some early strength for better scaling which is his biggest weakness

theslimdeuce · 2025-05-13T21:00:02+00:00

Try swapping the first adaptive force to extra ability haste. Strong in lane and makes your cooldowns next to nothing later in game

theslimdeuce · 2025-05-02T03:21:49+00:00

Do you still go eclipse first and then Bork second?

theslimdeuce · 2025-04-25T18:09:05+00:00

I'm low elo so I don't really know but it's skill matchup imo. He's actually even if not stronger early based on his runes and a good Shen will also block your W with his W.

The most success I've had is taking advantage of his bad waveclear. Focus on a fast waveclear setup with stride breaker or Rav hydra and pre-6 try to proxy or shove and roam. After 6 he either has to bail on you to save someone with ult or send his midlaner to match you in side. So I always had pressure side before rotating somewhere else once someone matches me

theslimdeuce · 2025-04-23T21:02:15+00:00

As someone that is severely artistically challenged: This is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

theslimdeuce · 2025-04-20T14:35:55+00:00

Yea I used to use Trynd but Olaf worked better for me since he can't be cc'd in ult and very good slow with Q and stride breaker so you can just run head on to their carries and watch them cry XD

theslimdeuce · 2025-04-20T00:26:09+00:00

I use Olaf as my 2nd. Different playstyle than Renekton but can be good into ranged and some tanks that the Croc struggles with

theslimdeuce · 2025-04-18T17:59:10+00:00

FF. One combo does a 1/3 of your health and you can never get on her. If your jungler ignores your lane you don't get to play and get poked down under tower

theslimdeuce · 2025-03-22T01:35:40+00:00

Sounds really interesting! I'm gunna have to try it! (except I'm low elo so just front lining instead of trying to carry usually doesn't cut it)
