Rengar; a Gameplay Update
Rengar is a champion with no middle ground, and what I mean by this is that he is either completely useless when behind and just feeds OR when he is ahead is super oppressive one shoting people from thin air. Neither of these creates a good, healthy gameplay for Rengar because one scenario is really bad for the Rengar player and the other is really bad for when against Rengar.
So to move Rengar from being in one extreme to the next based on the game will require some changes; the biggest problem areas when against Rengar is his current ultimate and passive (NOT the ferocity and empowered abilities to clarify), and the thing that has Rengar hard to come back from behind is a lack of utility to do so.
Basic Attack Range: 125 units Movement: 350 units per second
The Hunter's Ferocity (Passive): Rengar's abilities that hit an enemy grants one point of Ferocity, up to a maximum of 5 points at one time. At 5 points of Ferocity Rengar's next basic ability will be empowered and will consume 5 points of Ferocity, empowered abilities do not share cooldowns.
Rengar hunts for trophies attached to large monsters and enemy champions, every unit only has one of these trophies for the entirety of the game, Rengar gets the trophy if he directly executes or assists in the execute of the unit.
