Rengar Ultimate Idea

Dire WoIf··2 votes·1,392 views

Rengar is my favorite champion and I have to say, the one thing I truly cannot stand about this latest rework is the indicator it places above an enemy's head when Rengar is ulted nearby. While I understand that removing this would give Rengar little counterplay, I do have a suggestion. This would be that instead of the indicator, Rengar would make a global sound similar to Nocturne's ultimate or Sion's. I was thinking something like him chuckling followed by "RUN!" or just him roaring or something. Let me know what you guys think. I'd love to see this implemented in place of the indicator.

  1. What's wrong with the exclamation point?
  2. How would a global activation effect fix this?

Well I personally find that the exclamation point kinda defeats the purpose of the stealth, not to mention that I also find that the 15% movement speed boost isn't quite adequate enough to catch up to your prey when they see the exclamation point while you're still a mile away. I also just think it would fit better thematically. Is Rengar such a bad hunter that people just know when he's coming? As for gameplay, I think that this is just a better fit. I get that old Rengar had low counterplay, but I think with this new indicator he has a bit too much counterplay for what he's designed for. With the indicator as it is it's way too easy for the support or whoever to go "Oh look. An indicator. Better go hug my adc and drop a pink ward and lol at this Rengar." If the ultimate was tweaked to where it just gave a global sound notification, then there would still be some element of surprise in the ult but there'd still be enough counterplay for the target to prepare themselves for a potential knifecat attack. Also, this would allow the Rengar to play some mind games on the enemy team by letting them all know that at any second they could get jumped on. It would introduce a new depth of gameplay where after hearing this global sound, opponents would have to play more passively before Rengar shows himself. I would really love to see this implemented and I personally think that this would make for a healthier Rengar. (though obviously I'm a bit biased)

If people hear a global SFX, they'd probably back off even earlier than they do now. Wouldn't this make Rengar's ganks even harder to pull off?

Perhaps, but at least this brings in at least a bit of unpredictability. I mean as is, you see the indicator and you walk away. With a global SFX it would leave more to chance and would keep them from knowing just who's about to get Rengar'd. I think that the global SFX would become even better when the opposing team is caught in the jungle and it's not just as easy as walking back to tower. I'd rather have them know earlier that it MIGHT happen than they know slightly later that it's 100% GOING to happen. I hope you understand what I'm trying to get across here I'm wording it pretty badly I bet.

I feel like you just want it to be easier to chase little boys.

I agree to the Global sound. I hate the evelynn re-hashed indicator. Global sound for "LISTEN" and "FOCUS" and now people will know he has ulted and have counterplay while not totally making his ults useless half the time.

Precisely! There's no worse feeling in this game than ulting with Rengar and watching the prey casually walk away...
