How are players making use of Rengar?

I just don't get it. I'm trying to play rengar as to raise my skill cap but I just don't see any good in him. Everyone I talked to says "oh he's op as hell" or "He's an S tier jungler."

It feels like I can't gank until I'm level 6, and I can't gank without my ult, unless they're being dumb and pushing top low health without flash or vision. Even when when I ult on the enemy they just flash out and there's nothing I can do. If they don't flash out they take an auto attack and maybe a Q and still have hp and just walk off like nothing is even happening. Last match I even had this nocturne just come up to me and fear then auto me to death in my own jungle. He didnt even have a a complete jungle item while I had warriors enchantment. So I can't kill without someone to hold my hand, I can't duel in my own jungle, and I can't fight at all without my ult, AND I have minimal cc to help in teamfights, while be squishy as hell.

I'm so close to dismissing rengar as trash, but I wanted to reach out to the boards before I make that call because everyone I've talked to disagrees with what I'm saying. The pros are even using rengar, so he's gotta be worth the select, but I just can't see any good in him. Can anyone help me make use of rengar?

We need people like you to bring down his win rate so that he seems balanced

i used to be Rengar main back in s5 , i can't help u a lot with reworked rengar since i'm learning myself. but i can (hopefully) help you with general tips:

1- managing your ferocity bar is one of the key thing to play as Rengar and knowing when and where to use you'r empowered ability, it's come from game knowledge and playing a lot but in general: use your empowered q in team fights OR when 1v1 with enemy jungler (specially in early game it helps a lot) , use W when u are low on hp and use empowered E when u want chase someone OR wants to run from someone (u can use w for that too but found e MORE reliable ... at least for me)

2- use your passive jump as much as u can ,

3- for ganking pre6 when the lane is pushed to enemy tower , come to a lane and walk from friendly tower dawn to the bush (sneaky sneakyyyy) when enemy comes near to you jump him and stun him as quickly as u can (use e midair_Q W) , you need to go back and buy some items though (preferably 2 long sword, but one sword will do the trick)

4- in team fights use your ultimate after enemy used they're CC , jump on enemy adc or apc and killed them

5- do NOT afraid to jump in people early game, use wards and place them in enemy jungle to counter jungle them OR place them on dragon or baron pit. remember enemy buffs are YOUR buffs

and lastly about that Nocturne thing: he is one of rengar counters u can't beat him in 1v1 SPECIALLY now that he is buffed (not directly )Rengar is not trash it's just HARDer to play with him for inexperience players after his reworked that's all. :)

have you tried watching other people play rengar to get an idea of what you're doing wrong?

Be aggressive with the enemy jungle and look to make plays. See about jumping them at their second buff. Ward deep so you have an idea of how healthy they are and use that to snowball. Once you kill them, counterjungle them to set them back and hit 6 faster.
