Rengar and I

Okay, so we all know and love this squishy-devouring kitty cat that we all know as Rengar. Since mid-season 5 I've mained rengar and i felt like to play him on a higher level is definitely a challenge compared to playing him on a lower level (cough bronze cough). I know there are people that think he's been in a strong spot for far too long for how people see him as "easy". I half-heartedly agree. Recently Rioters on multiple sources have been confirming to start whittling down this cat because people think he is OP.

That is half the problem. Rengar IS easy. Yes i did say that he was hard to play on a higher level , and i still stand by it What i mean is that when I play with a teammate who is playing Rengar, usually F2P or first time, they proceed to dominate easily, and it makes me cringe to see their lack of mechanics. I see the reasons to nerf him, but i find them irrelevant. Rengar is one of the champions that make him almost impossible to balance. he's either a post-nerf pussycat or a lion.

What I propose is to make him harder to play for new players. I do not want to see this cat nerfed into oblivion or entirely reworked. For example, the good rengar properly use the bushes to their advantage, more than just jumping. I would slow down his jump speed. I also think his E damage should be toned down just a bit with either a longer cast time/slower flight. His ult detection range should be shorted by a few 100 units, but the invisibility duration increased.

This is just my ideas on his state right now. I do not want this cat destroyed nor OP.

GODDAMN IT RENGAR KEEPS TURNING INTO RENEGER :P [slayer-jinx-unamused]

can just make it so that his jump has 2-3 seconds cooldown and he cant use E mid air anymore. W is fine since its just a roar and it kinda fits a jumping lion to fucking roar. with this, you can stop his multi-jump abuse which is absolutely not healthy and his instant snare. the problem really isnt that he can instagib people later on, its that he can snare them and take 80% of their hp with little to no counterplay on lvl 6+

I agree about the jump CD nerf, but i think that not being allowed to throw mid air will just make him more like how the unskilled rengar players play him.

well not being able to throw mid air would require you to walk melee range and bola. this way its undodgeable but you still got plenty counterplay and he cant bola AND instagib at the same time but it takes like half a second.

like, nobody should be able to use anything mid-jump honestly. shyvana cant use spells mid flight, renekton cant use anything mid slice, zac cant use anything mid slingshot. the only ones i know of who can use their abilities mid jump are tristana and rengar and khazix has his Q specifically stating that it can be used mid jump but his W cant be.

i mean ofcourse rengars Q isnt a real active ability, its "on next attack" so its totally okay if he uses it mid jump and even mid-invisibility but everything else should not be allowed to be used during the animation of his jump.
