I think we all know that Renata was written off as yet another “cool but unpopular” champion, like Lillia kinda. She brought a lot of new stuff to the support roster, she feels fair to play against, and she’s fairly balanced… but she was unpopular.

​

Recently, Renata’s pickrate has been surging. This is almost certainly due in part to her prevalence in worlds, but I also think part of it is that people are now taking the time to learn her kit. I know that, personally, when Renata Glasc released I had no interest in playing her. I thought she felt clunky and I didn’t like her much at all… recently, I love her. She’s been my go-to pick against all-in team comps, or heavy AD teams. She feels great to play once you’ve learned her.

​

I also think that she adds a lot of variety to pro play without being overwhelming. Her winrate on ladder is fairly reasonable (51% is about average for enchanters if not slightly lower) and it’s not crazy in pro either, being 53% for the summer split. She seems VERY dominant in worlds being the fourth highest prio support with an 80% winrate, though I think this is partially due to the current meta and not necessarily with her power as a champion.

​

I don’t know, I think it’s really cool to see her make a comeback from being a kinda forgotten support. She’s awesome.
