Hello all current and old knife cats and forum lurkers alike I am Mine All Mein, you might remember me recently about posting a super long post on the League Forums about Rengar 's current state. If you don't its cool and I am happy I can make your acquaintance now! Anyway I am here today to tell you a HUGE flaw with current Rengar . And let me guess what your thinking is "OH GOD NOT ANOTHER OLD CRYING Rengar MAIN WANTING A REVERT -_-" and honestly I could give 2 shits less if he did or didn't at this point. I have adapted to playing new Rengar , but yea as being a Rengar main for 3 years I will HONESTLY admit old Rengar was more fun for me ( "OH GOD HE SAID THOSE TERRIBLE WORDS" ) he does have his highs and lows with current Rengar but whatever whats done is done. Now that all those boos and hisses/tears of joy are out the way now on to my main point. Rengar 's FUCKING CLASSIFICATION. Now here take just a couple seconds and humor me but look up his primary and secondary classification... now what does it say hmm doesn't it say Assassin ( more specifically slayer) PRIMARY and Fighter SECONDARY. Now quick show of hands how many of you here play Rengar in an assassin item build/assassin playstyle in more games than you play the current most popular most played Bruiser item build/Bruiser playstyle on Rengar .............Man that is a very scarce amount of people. Let us analyze the issue here his current pattern of fighting with his CURRENT KIT, if played OPTIMALLY to the strengths of his CURRENT KIT, encourage extended fight patterns, while making him a "healthier champion" to fight both sides of the the Rengar mains (the old insta gib lovers and the new bruiser lovers) fail to to grasp that him having this extended fight patterns defeats the purpose of his classification order. Now you might be saying "so if they just change the classification order to FIGHTER PRIMARY all would be good right?" and yep truthfully all would be good. But here is the kicker everyone RIOT CANT DO THAT...at least not with the current situation Rengar falls under. I am not saying Riot hasn't shown they cants just change some text cause that is the easy part here. The hard part comes from the strain that would honestly put on Riot's game state and future class updates. Here is why since Rengar was through and though an assassin before his rework and the fact that his state changed to this new bruiser after an "ASSASSIN REWORK" if they now classified him as a Fighter primary that would defeat the whole point of calling it an Assassin Rework and that would mean they would have to revamp their rework model to save face as it also can threaten player trust and in turn player retainability . You see Riot doesn't care about insta gib on assassin's what they care about is when their bruiser builds on said assassin's doesn't make that assassin have to give up anything so they end up lowering bases and buffing bonus ratio's but if you haven't noticed thanks to Rengar 's stack passive they can't do this cause it would effect both builds so all they can do is nerf stats without giving him compensation. Here is the issue at hand here that honestly everyone should feel ashamed of they didn't see the big picture, by playing Rengar in his current state, more consistently with this Bruiser build and winning more games in a Bruiser/Fighter/Diver manner you are saying nothing is wrong with him being Reworked into a Fighter. You are saying nothing is wrong with the "Assassin Update" or "(random class here) Update" system turning a through and through champion fighting style and archetype into something they aren't. Thanks for reading and if you have questions just ask them ill try my best to get back to you.

I read the entire post, and I agree with you on how he is suddenly a fighter/bruiser champ. Sure old rengar was awesome, but he needs changes asap. Like this is basically the same state it is with Shaco, with riot just nerfing him over and over, and Shaco is now building bruiser/tank items.
