I don't have a problem with Rengar one-shotting a squishy

FastAsHeck··9 votes·1,155 views

I have a problem with this happening with very little indication that it is going to happen (the ! barely shows up when he is running at you with item 3142), and I have a problem with him murdering me in a time frame of 0.1 seconds. Heck even Zed is a saint compared to this guy, at least you can see him with wards so you at least know where he is coming from and you have half a second to react when you see the giant X on your head, you can build item 3157 or item 3140 and have some form of counterplay. But when Rengar comes for your booty you don't even have the time to press item 3157 if you are an AP or to use any escape/peel ability you may have as an ADC. I have died countless times before my dash/jump even starts, and it is even worse if you don't even have these tools. Your only option is to build item 3026 which has a huge cooldown, so even if you survive once you will die next time, or build item 3157 if you have low ping and pray you can use it before you die.

As I stated in the title, I have absolutely no issue with his one-shotting. After all, the counter to immobile ADCs like Jinx and KogMaw has always been assassins that can dive the back line and solo kill them. But this is too much, because killing someone in 0.1 seconds without giving them even a chance to react is extremely frustrating, and I don't think Rengar players enjoy wrecking others with zero counterplay either.

Talon has no indicator. Can do the same, if not faster.

Talon does 10x less damage than Rengar and won't kill anyone if he uses the first half of his ult for stealth

at least talon has a sort of weak early game that you can exploit, and he has mana.

I sorta have come to accept that Riot doesn't care for actual balance, and whatever they claim their "counterplay" or w/e keyword they use isn't how they decide on changes.

Riot shifts champions in and out of the meta by tactical buffs on items/champions/strategies.

Juggernauts were insanely buffed.

This makes Lulu insanely good since she synergizes with and counters juggernauts.

Kassadin works great vs Lulu in lane and scales great.

Who would've thought making Juggernauts would make Kassadin a competitive pick?

Goal is to create a differing gaming experience with the same recognizable backdraft with similar nostalgic feels without actually playing the same for too long.

On the plus side, this is hugely a positive for the vast majority of the audience as it reduces burn out time people have with a game since it feels fresh more often than not.

Knifecat is going to be doing it even faster now that YoMama's Ghostblade has 35 more AD.

Yay?

to get fed enough to instakill the enemy carry takes a lot of skill and building a large lead. rengar's thing is he does it in .1 seconds or he doesnt kill them unless no one is around. people like zed have a lot of time to get the kill. (well like .8 to 1.3 seconds which is a huge amount of time in game) also for rengar to 100-0 someone instantly he has to like 5-0 at 12 minutes.

Rengar's ult should let him be stealthed. Then, he can right click an enemy chamion to "track" them. Rengar then sprints towards the person (kinda like vis ult), and when in range, he pounces. The person being tracked would have a ! icon above their head for the duration of the track.

I hope more Pink Wards will be placed in the preseason with the price reduction coming up, but in the late game - when people have no free slots to buy such cheap wards - they won't be buyable, and I think the Greater Vision Totem is also being removed (correct me if I'm wrong), so no Pink Wards at all in the far late game ...
Maybe Death's Dance can help against Rengar. Phantom Dance to attack him after surviving his first hit. LifeSteal to have a fighting chance. Otherwise, ... stick to your Supports little guys. Stick to your Supports.

if rengar was so good, why does he have a low win rate?

answer: he is good when fed but worse than a melee minion when behind. Even when fed, if he fails to kill the ADC he just made the fight a 4v5.
