i love playing rengar, he's such a fun jungler. but when it comes to tanks, i cry. literally full AD rengar can't do shit to them.

how do i beat tanks with rengo?

usually by mid-late game when tanks have at least 1 defensive item (frozen heart, randuin, thornmail) i start to fall off. there's no way i can shred through that armor.

any tips?

my build is Rengar item 1334 item 3723 item 3031 item 3035 item 3142

my last item is usually defensive, either GA, thornmail, or maw

You aren't supposed to kill tanks with Rengar.

no one can....like in this game there's not a single viable champion against tanks. except kog and vayne....and nobody knows how to use those in my elo.

Er, it's kind of the adc's role to kill the tank? Thing is, you have to protect them so that's why most teams have tanks (and why there's almost always a support to help out!).

Your job, as the assassin, is to pick out the priority target that provides the most threat. If the enemy APC/assassin is capable of locking down your adc and deleting them, you need to either zone them out or kill them first. After that, you need to protect your frontline by deleting the adc, avoiding the enemy frontline by flanking.

If you don't have a tank on your team, or at least a bruiser to provide peel/protection for your team, you're kind of screwed.

Really?

It isn't supposed to be easy by the way. That's why they are a tank.

rengar is an assassin, so he skills squishy targets fast. if you want to be able to face tanks, add item 3710 item 3071item 3153 to your items, so you have better sustain get rid of item 3031 item 3723

An assassin isn't suppose to assassinate tanks..

I agree with Nekusen, you're going to have to switch your build if you're aiming for tanks, which you should but item 3153 item 3071 (devour if you're jungling) item 3142 item 3035

Isn't the best way to handle tanks as Rengo to delete the other teams carries in .3 seconds, as Rengar is want to do, then let your team clean them up?

Assassins aren't really supposed to delete the tanks (or win against them generally, you know Burst>sustained>tankiness>burst and all that), and honestly with 3 of the 4 armor pen items in the game in your kit, I feel like unless the tank itemized SPECIFICALLY to fuck you over (by which I mean stacked armor and threw MR out the window), you should probably be able to hold your own.

UNLESS you mean Garen, Skarner, and Mordekaiser, in which case counterplay for them is pretty much the same as anyone else, clench your butthole and try to kite them to your team before they assblast you.

Also, some specifics might help. Do you have trouble ganking the tanks if they rushed an armor item? are you incapable of deuling them if, say you ran across one alone? are they blowing you up in teamfights? a very general "how do I handle tanks" is hard to answer.

the problem is when the enemy has 2-3 tanks, they destroy us all. we take out their adc, support, and assasin....but a garen and cho will destroy our team. like thats some bs.

Your only options are to have Last Whisper and Bork somewhere, honestly.(Don't play Rengar, but I imagine BORK isn't really core, but you gotta do what ya gotta do to face a tank)

But honestly, you really just need poke/peel and then dive for the cleanup. I know that's not practical in solo q, so you have no other choice than to try to win the early game
