Renata Glasc Abilities, Release Date & More

We have heard rumors about Renata and the power she holds, but finally, Riot has revealed who this boss woman is and what she can do on Summoner’s Rift. Her abilities have been revealed and we couldn’t be more excited. 

It seemed off that the chemtech drake was removed so quickly, but it all makes sense now that we got a glimpse of Renata’s kit. Seriously, thanks Riot for disabling the chemtech drake before Rentata’s release. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and check out Renata’s abilities.

What Abilities Does Renata Have?

Renata is a very unique enchantress. Instead of merely shielding and healing allies, she is going to cause pure chaos on the rift and we’re so excited to see it all unfold in games. So, without further ado, these are her abilities:

• Passive - Leverage: Renata Glasc's basic attack mark her enemies and deal bonus damage. Damage from Renata's allies consumed the mark, dealing additional damage. 
• Q - Handshake: Renata Glasc sends out a missile from her robotic arm that roots the first enemy hit. She can reactivate the ability to throw the enemy in a target direction, damaging enemies hit and stunning them is the thrown target is a champion.
  
• W - Bailout: Renata Glasc grants an allied champion or herself ramping attack speed and move speed towards enemies. 
  
  • If the allly gets a take down on an enemy champion, the buff duration resets
  • If the ally died while Bailout is still active, their health is set back to full, but they begin burning to death over 3 seconds. The ally can stop the burn by getting a champion take down before they die. 

• E - Loyalty Program: Renata Glasc sends out chemtech rockets that shield allies and damage and slow enemies they pas through. The rockets also apply their effects around her on cast and in an explosion at mac range. 
• R - Hostile Takeover: Renata Glasc sends out a cloud of chemicals that causes enemies to go Berserk. This increases their attack speed and forces them to basic attack anything around them. 
  • Berserk enemies prioritize attacking their own allies, then neutral units, then Renata Glasc's team and finally Renata Glasc herself. 

Will Renata be OP?

Renata’s W seems like an extremely strong ability. Turning your ally into Sion for a few seconds seems extreley powerful, so we believe that her W is going to have a pretty high cooldown. Imagine being able to spam it over and over? That would just be unfair.

Also, her ultimate is another very strong ability. Being able to turn your enemies onto one another is something that is going to be extremely obnoxious to play against. We also expect some high cooldowns on her ultimate.

Does this mean she is going to be OP though? Not necessarily. Akshan also has the ability to bring allies back from the dead, just like Zilean and neither of them are necessarily OP. That's why we think she will have long cooldowns to make up for the strength of the ability. 

When Will Renata Glasc be Released?

Renata is going to hit the PBE Server quite soon and will likely be released in LoL Patch 12.04. She will also be a champion in the upcoming TFT set along with Silco, which means she will be released simultaneously with the TFT Set 6.5 update.

So, will you be playing some Renata when she is released? Or you don’t enjoy playing enchanter supports? We’re excited for a whole new bot lane experience!
