Why is Rengar so freaking OP?

Darkwindwalker··4 votes·2,112 views

Over the past week there has been an increase these rengar top laners that insta-kill pretty much everyone now with just 3 items. Even full armor tanks just gone in like two seconds and there's really no way to counter it (if there is please post it). I even played a game were nobody on the enemy team had any kills except rengar. we shut them down in every other lane (except top) but there was nothing we were able to do because he would just jump out every 60 seconds and kill 2 people on the team before u could even react. Pinks don't do anything to combat the damage or even give you much of reaction time since he can jump from farther range then the pink covers. By the time anyone can even click to exhaust him its already to late. Every fight was just and instant 3 v 5. Pretty much all they do build a last whipser, Ravenous Hydra, and a youmuus and its GG.

If anyone can enlighten us on how to counter a mid/late game rengar plz post.

Critgar hurts a lot, but what's actually going on here is a Ravenous exploit.

Using Ravenous while leaping gives a reset, which allows Rengar to land multiple autoattacks pretty much instantly (Including Q powered). So, Jax would be able to take it all while taking no damage.

At least it's not SoTD Critgar. Those days were nightmares.

Appreciate the info. So Jax is a good counter during lane phase but any tips for late game or is there just nothing you can do?

As for lategame, tell your team to upgrade trinkets. Have your team take pink ward trinkets, while your support takes sightstone and pink ward trinket. Lots of pink wards hurts most stealthers a lot, as Shaco, Rengar, Twitch, Evelynn, are strong because you don't see where they'll be coming from until it's almost always too late.

Another thing to remember, is beware of unwarded bushes. If you're low, don't go near a unwarded bush if there's a kitty or stealther around.

Go taric top lane.

I think it looks really stupid that he jumps from top bush repeatedly at early game.

Riot Games got it wrong thematically:

  • He is suppose to be a hunter.
  • He plays more as a slaughterer.
