Unfortunately I was right about Rengar back in PBE

And what i said back then is still true as well as my predictions. As well as many others, including other Rengar mains.

The TL;DR of what i said is: This rework does not fix all of Rengar's problems and all it did is basicly forces him to be a juggernaut with burst and extreme snowball potential (needs bonetooth stacks). Even if the stacks are nerfed (wich they will), it does not fix his core issues. He just feels like a brute force version of kha and zed and has no way to outplay his opponents (other than just hit his skillshots and hope to survive) witch makes it a toxic experience for the enemy.

And now he will be gutted until he is useless. Multiple people told Riot back on the PBE forums that as he was he will be gutted until he is unplayeble, yet they did not listen. All the Rengar mains knew it would because now he is one of the few remaining instakill champions with surviveability to boot. No one want's to play vs that and with 10 bans approaching they never will. (Until he gets to mordekaiser level of gutted)

I was not the only one, many players warned Riot and all they did is release this broken mess of a champion. For the record i love Rengar, but his playstyle does not fit with what riot is trying to do with assassins!

Now we will have to wait for the next rework because with his current kit, if he ever is even slightly viable, he will be permabanned (Especially if 10 bans hit) NOT because he is OP NOT because there is no counterplay But because he is UNFUN to play against!

was an 8/10 read, but then you stated he was not op, when you are mistaken, he is blatently so.

rengar is a stat check, nothing more and nothing less, you can either survive the burst or not. the kit is beyond flawed right now. (too much mobility from R, go ahead and chase an adc back to their base even though they started running back the moment the global ult roar was heard) guaranteed crit (which he should have to build for if he wants it) and the inability to take stacks away from him or properly punish him for making mistakes.

riot hates free stats, this champion should be no exception and his free stats should be revoked for a better design.

I did not say it is because he is OP, i said that him OP is not the reason why he is hated. OP champs show up all the time and once they are nerfed they are OK. Current Rengar untill he is Gutted the non-Rengar players will not be satisfied. And the reason is his Kit, (That includes bonetooth)
