Im struggling to breakdown why this certain rune should be taken in this specific matchup.
What runes do you take on Toplane Akali and can you explain why?
- Fleet
- Conq
- Electrocute
or even Grasp?
ex. Akali vs Renekton - you go Conq? or Elec? or Fleet? and why?

Against Renekton? conq is probably your best choice.
Just think about it dude, electrocute is best agasint squishys, Conq is best against Bruisers/tanks, Fleet against poke and Grasp is just a defensive rune when you just dont want to lose
thing is renekton always go PTA into you, so basically what he does is burst you down to 50% hp while hes 100%, by that you have to stack your conquerer up to 5 times with 50%hp vs 100%hp. I think its good when you get your 5 stacks before getting low, but that is hard to do since every renekton should just dash to you and burst out his dmg.
thats why i think sustain is the key (grasp/ff) , because he falls off at some timebut after reading all those comments i think FF is my safest way and maybe my playstyle is not for extended fights.
Renekton is such a free lane once you learn the matchup. Keep enough distance that he has to use at least his second dash to get on top of you. Doing that gives you enough time to drop shroud before he has the chance to autocombo and stun you. After that, he's blown his load and is free pickings. Bonus points if he w's early to get the quick stun on you because you can wait for it to expire and then look to re-engage. If I recall correctly if you auto space your empowered kama enough he shouldnt be able to hit you when you go for the passive proc onto him, so you'll always have the range advantage on him. Conq is even better when Renekton panic ults because the true damage will really help eat him down.
damn that works? need to inspect it more, thanks!
Toplane conqu for extended fights and heal. If you play against a ranged match up like corki or Kennen, you can consider ff. I once tried it out of fun and rly liked it. Esp against Darius for example. The movement speed buff makes kiting even easier and u can keep w and e up for killing him.
Koreans for example only play with ff.
i had more good experience with ff than with conq, maybe my playstyle is just not used to extended fights
Conquerer wants different items as well, like Liandry’s (and possibly Morellonomicon)
i always go conq. i havent come across a match up where i feel the need to take fleet or grasp, I have played versus renekton like 3 times, if you fall behind vs him you loose hard but you can go toe to toe with him early. i do think that going fleet or grasp will save that lane if you fall behind tho
