I have always loved playing Renata and always will, but ever since Anathema’s was removed I have to say no build path has ever felt as satisfying on her. I like Bandlepipes and Locket a lot but I always feel like I’m missing something.

Are there any items you guys miss or wish she worked better with? Or an item idea you’d wanna see to use with her? I also wouldn’t mind if she had more incentive for just any particular build path rather than just being able to use anything she chooses decently well

Though I also kinda feel like being able to buy whatever from the shop and get like 70% value from it is kinda thematically appropriate lol

Been playing Bel'Veth again since the midscope and wonder what you guys think about builds now that we've had her for a few days!

So far I've been running:

Lethal Tempo — Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, Coup de Gras — Cash Back, Triple Tonic

Kraken > Boots > Rageblade > Terminus > flex for the rest, often defensive (usually DD) or BotRK

And for boots I go Steelcaps or Mercs depending on situation.

I saw some posts about Crit a few days ago but I'm too scared to try it lol. Also wondering about vamp boots and bloodline compared to their alternatives, and if you like Lethal Tempo, and just generally what you guys are running

EDIT: I should also have asked what Smite you guys use, I've been using Blue but I feel like all 3 could have great use cases on her?

I mostly play Bot these days and I'm fairly low elo, so I ban Vayne because games are usually long enough for her to scale even if I play well + she gets hard to hit with skillshots. If top laner bans her already then I might ban someone I just personally find annoying like Sivir or Shaco. Or I guess, server's small so maybe if I play against the same Draven or someting a couple times in a row I ban him...

Mid I just ban Kassadin, Zed, or Irelia depending on which one pissed me off more recently lmao.

But curious to see who you guys ban as well and why!

I have E1 and know that E2-5 are all useless, but is Ruan Mei’s E6 actually good? Does anyone know how much of an increase the better ult uptime + bonus break damage actually is?

At the moment I usually use Tribbie or RM in the last slot, rarely HMC. So it could be nice for when Trib is busy with Ashblade now that we have 3 node endgame
