Why do people try / think Rengar in lane works?

Hagrids Double ·May 29, 2016·3 votes·462 views

I am very curious to why this keeps happening, People will be top lane or mid mostly and they always hype themselves up before the game "I'm a really good Rengar. Don't worry I'll carry." etc. And then the do nothing but feed and feed and feed. So I'm really curious what is your logic behind this because anybody on my team that tries this never does good. I also see on enemy teams they try it and then they never do good either. Sooo some enlightment about this ummm......pocket pick......?

When somebody says, "Don't worry, I'll carry" - save yourself time and dodge.

They never carry.

Top Rengar is fine. I dunno who the hell plays Mid. Bushes aren't close enough

Top lane Rengar is fine, if he gets a lead early he snowballs out of control and can win the game himself. Mid lane doesn't really make much sense, no bushes for him to take advantage of, though maybe the roaming is alright. I've even seen him bot lane a couple times. It's not really the champion that's the problem, it's the fact that he's one of those champions where people will try to play him because they think he's OP and just utterly fail with him, like they do with Ezreal and Vayne.

It just depends on how good the rengar is.

That is the thing I have never seen it done and that Rengar go positive my team or not. So I just don't know if some pro your YouTuber does it so they try to do it or what the deal is.

People in low ELO think that they belong in Diamond and are simply stuck in ELO hell.

They win one or two games with picks like that, or something that should be niche, and then choose it every time after in ranked, regardless of composition too. They don't take into account that maybe their opponents were just really bad that game. In their minds it wasn't because of that, it's because they were just so good.

I've seen it happen a bunch as a support main this season. I've even had games against these people right after, and they lose badly against people who are playing their best and working together.

Chances are you didn't discover some OP pick, you just had opponents that were tilted or not on their best game. We aren't realistic creatures though.

rengar DOES work.

why? because its cheesy AF. either top or support, its so easy to snowball a lane and force a 20 min gg.

for example, enemy picks kog bot? looks like he cant go 50 feet near the bushes ever again

If you say so all I'm saying is any game that i have seen that had a Rengar that wasn't in the jungle has lost

It used to work super well top lane before his bola got changed to a skillshot instead of a targeted ability. I guess now people don't know what to do against him so i kinda works as a cheese, there's always the ult tp ganks that could turn into some crazy shenanigans
