A message from all Rengar mains
This is going to be a bit of a rant, so prepare your seatbelts for this one.
It's been about 5 months now since the assassin rework hit live, and people are getting used to the new assassin playstyles. New champions see pro play, other champions become meta for once to counter the assassins, and everything seems good and well. Except for the ones who main this guy
.
Rengar is possibly the most unsatisfying champion to main right now, simply because those of us who actually otp him feel like we've received a giant middle finger from Riot. We hate everything about him. With the release of patch 7.7 Rengar is on his 7th nerf since the rework. I am fairly sure the whole point of the rework, was to make it so Rengar was in a more suitable spot to be balanced, yet he has received more nerfs during these past 5 months than all of his pre-rework nerfs combined. We get that Rengar is extremely strong, that he's picked in pro play constantly and that literally everybody not playing him hates him, but now we're at a point where Rengar mains hate him too.
- The new Q is clunky and doesn't fit into Rengar's rotation
- He gets changed all the time
- Bonetooth necklace greatest too great a gap between good and bad
- The W heal is extremely overpowered
- The new Q literally 1 shots entire teams
/r/rengarmains has been exploding repeatably since the rework, and if you go check it out you'll see that a lot of posts are about how Rengar is unsatisfying to play both as and against. The only reason we still stick to him, is because we've stuck with him since his release, and it's hard to give up a champion you've been playing for 5 years.
The changes that'll make every Rengar main happy would be to
- Make his Q an on-hit spell again (aka single target damage)
- Make his W heal flat again (so we get rid of bruiser Rengar)
- Put the AD increase back on empowered Q and make bonetooth grant utility again
- If possible make his ult reveal 1/3/5 enemies at rank 1, 2 and 3.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BST3yZ0tanY&t=43s This guy is a well known Rengar main within the community, and so far all the pro scene and achknowledged Rengar mains agrees that he's in a really bad position right now for both the player and the enemies.
basically since I started playing league.
