Rengar jungle vs tank meta?
I recently watched ScrapComputer's video on effective junglers in the tank meta. One of them was Rengar. Why is this?

Rengar's W has a strong tanky mechanic of gaining bonus Armor/Mr, making him of the natural tankiest assassin champ.
If teamfight rolls around, he tries to jump in and instagib the ADC. You are then locked down by CC and possibly die. He can't shred tanks and GA counter him.
I think he's a great champ, just that the current meta doesn't seem to favor him and his early game sucks without ult. The video didn't really go deep into why he was good in this meta which is why I'm confused.

He can kill champions quicker than a human can possibly react, he also can kill tanky champions... This is why AD assassins have always been an issue compared to AP assassins, they not only delete squishy champions, but also can kill tanks unlike Le Blanc, and take towers faster. Even if you don't get fed as Rengar you just need to reach a certain point to where you'll naturally just delete someone. Soloq is very unorganized as well, so no matter what he'll always be good anyways unless nerfed into the ground.
Due to the prevalence of tanks, many teams will have only one or two dedicated damage dealers. If Rengar can assassinate one of them before a fight (and he bursts squishy targets extremely quickly), it gives his team a massive advantage.
So why is it that Rengar is considered good in the current meta, while Khazix isnt, according to the video?
Kha'zix doesn't really instantly burst non-isolated targets unless very fed.
Kha'zix's stealth has too low a duration for sneaking up on targets or bypassing wards. Rengar's can be used for a much greater distance.
Rengar is a better split-pusher since he can use his ultimate to escape if necessary.
Basically, Rengar is good because he can often burst enemy squishies before the tanks have a chance to react, while Kha'zix takes significantly longer to kill a target (often requiring two or three Qs).
That's my opinions at least.
thank you for your detaild reply. with the meta favoring hyper carries to shred tanks, what do you think are some good assassins mid/jungle? my philosophy is basically tanks<hyper carry<assassins<tanks.
