I love when they "nerf" 20% AD from 1 basic attack just to add 10 % to the next 5 seconds and maybe at least 7ish basic attacks......

At least now you have more than 0.3 seconds to react to him.

That's good. They want to stop Rengar from murdering champs mid leap, they don't want him to stop murdering them altogether.

So, stop assassin rengar = make him useless

charcharmunroJan 16, 20161 votes

Well, yes? An assassin needs to be able to murder somebody, but Rengar had stupid amounts of burst in a stupidly short time. Giving him roughly similar damage but making it take longer (I always envisioned him as being somebody who needs to commit more to a fight, anyway, compared to Kha'Zix, what with his tank stats from his roar thing.

Wero34Jan 16, 20161 votes

Assassins can burst in a stupidly short time because of "snowballing", thats the high risk high reward mechanic, if you counter jungle rengar early, rengar will lose its presence in game and will be forced to build tank, forced to loose his great mid game, and play meh late game when then are all grouped and can easy peel the rengar.

Don't forget about rengar's special friend, critical strike!

Your looking forward to being banned every game?

AnihakuJan 16, 20162 votes

As you should because he got buff'd which absolutely blows my mind. Is rengar relatively weak in plat+ play? I honestly expected him to be getting nerf's but apparently Soraka is still too powerful xD.

The change to the E with the jump is something I would have to see for myself before deciding if it's a nerf or buff.

If Riot just brings back trinkets he would be balanced. But of course they don't want to try and actually fix their mistakes.

I am SOOOO looking forward to these too. Not only these are a massive buff, they also kinda look like a nerf to the sheep.

To be fair, I doubt Rengar is actually too strong right now. People are banning him because they hate him, not because he's necessarily OP. People might not oppose a buff to him as long as it makes him feel less horrible to play against.

That said, I doubt the Q nerf is enough to stop him one-shotting people so I'm pretty sure people will now complain about him doing that while having significantly better sustained damage. If this really is such a buff then he's going to get nerfed after anyway so I guess enjoy one patch of fun.

A Miss FortuneJan 15, 20162 votes

People are banning him because of his broken kit. Nobody wants him on their team and nobody wants to fight him. He's either going to snowball to the point he one-shots an ADC in .01 seconds or he's going to just die before he does anything productive for his team.

PhoenixSlayer13Jan 15, 20161 votes

So, it looks like they're lowering his up-front burst potential while increasing his longer fight potential?

I'm ok with this. Rengar's always kinda walked a fine line between assassin and fighter, and this looks like it's bringing him back a little to the fighter side.

As a fellow Rengar main, I kind of like these changes tbh. The jump change honestly feels like both a QOL change and a pseudo-nerf, which is fine. Q is just a simple power shift so us dedicated Rengar players shouldn't feel it too much. And having a .25 sec cast time on mid-air E feels like it's not going to be too much different from live E once I try it out. And having it being castable outside of it's range is insanely nice when you jump on someone but your mouse is still in the position of where you want to move Rengar. The R change actually seems a little bit more of a buff since you get MS no matter if you are moving to a champ or not. And the "!" marker increase doesn't seem that painful, I think it may just make me want to rush a item 3142 over item 3094 once I pick up item 1412 and item 3158 .

Now that Rengar gets MS no matter where he's moving, can he get the "Ghosting" visual like Kha'Zix has when stealthed and other champions with MS-changing abilities? Would be really cool to see Rengar have that again like he did pre-rework.
