while Renegade is very efficient in killing tank classes, it will have a higher chance of losing if the classes it fought have staggering moves or the ability to deal high stun per hit, and Ichor is one of those classes.

in theory, the more damage Ichor receives, the more Blood it gains which would mean the difference in a match a lot whether if it has Blood or not. while the defense gain the Blood meter gives is nothing against Renegade, Ichor's Z is going to be very effective against a Renegade if he lands them and the AOE effect at the measly cost of Blood is very powerful especially if the Renegade decided to use its E.

Ichor's Z, without use of Blood or not, will be a tide turner if it hits. his X, can make an invisible Renegade visible because of the blood particles around them. the teleportation ability X has is also definitely very useful especially against fast classes. his C, needless to say, staggers (although it doesn't seems to stagger often lately, maybe a bug?) and it covers a lots of studs. and it comes fast like a bullet train. while a full potential V is not going to happen easily, it would still deal quite the damage depending on how much Blood you gained and how low your HP is (above 30+ ofcourse, otherwise you're a ripe crop to be harvested).

the disadvantages of an Ichor against a Renegade is obviously the very short range, the raw damage a Renegade deals and movement.

but, i think that the slow movement and the short range weakness Ichor has could be negligible by a little. Ichor's click combo boosts it, even more if the click combo is spammed when bunnyhopping (ew). while it is quite short, you could still surprisingly catch up to opponents if you're an Ichor using the click combo boost, and there is also Ichor's C. lets not forget that the click combo even debuffs movement.

being a tank class, Ichor also has a higher stun per hit the more damage it deals. and another theory shit, Ichor's V by itself is quite fast, thus it is much more difficult to determine if it is going to use it or not. this means that a full potential V can be possible, although at times it can be unlikely. it is also faster than Renegade's V. ties would most likely happen if an Ichor used its V against a Renegade who is using its V too.
