What is the counterplay to Rengar?

This might seem like a QQ type thread, which I guess in a way it is, but I'm genuinely asking this question because I have no idea. Last game was the perfect example of every lane losing, and that momentum coming bot lane and causing us to get rolled as well. Their team had a Rengar and I was playing Cait, so I had an "escape" or so I thought. Before 20 minutes we were pushed into the base and I was at the bottom inhib tower, farming. Rengar popped ult and jumped on me with a single jump and Q, insta death. I don't play Rengar so I don't know if there was anything else that happened, but that's what I saw.

So, what exactly is an adc supposed to do against a Rengar with 2 1/2 items finished that can instantly explode you regardless of how quickly I tried to net away? It almost felt like I would've died the same way if I stayed at spawn. That champion has always felt like an unbalanced assassin, but it feels worse now. Is there any actual way to protect yourself from that "burst" besides banning in draft?

Ban him and hope that the nerfs in the next patch will undo the insanity unleashed by his rework.

Be with someone who has cc. You can see him coming because of the camoflauge, so its easy to cc him as he attempts to run past the first person to assassinate you.

As an ADC, you must buy Zhonyas. Desperate times. ;_;

when you're behind?

friendship circle or zhonyas. thats it

if you have neither prepare your....


now in the rare situation you are even or he doesn't have all 5 kills yet, you want to initiate onto him first(yay for riot promoting a volatile game!)

or stay just outside his 100-0 range (which is only mitigated by hard stats and limited build options, this is not counterplay)

you can not outrun an ulted rengar, he will do it from river, he will not care about your turret, he will find you halfway down your lane and 100-0 you for being alone, despite running in the total opposite direction the moment you heard the global sound

Buy a defensive items ( randuins better for crit red) and stay in group.
