Rengar both is and isn't in a very good spot at the moment. Let me explain.

Heyo, rango one trick here. So I've been experimenting this past week now that preseason is upon us, and I've gotta say, rengar is in an interesting spot to say the least. In the jungle, his winrate has tanked to ~46-47%, which is one of the lowest of any jungler, while in top lane he's sitting at a comfortable 50 to 51% winrate, and there's a reason for that. First off, let's talk about jungle rengar. Why is he so bad? Well, there are two reasons actually. 1. tanks have resurfaced, something which lethality rengar hates with a burning passion since they make his job substantially harder to do. or in other words when tanks aren't meta, assassin rengar thrives, but when they ARE meta, he struggles. it's just the nature of the champion. 2. jungle xp got nerfed really hard this patch, which rengar doesn't appreciate either since he's a power farming type of jungler.

Now then, top lane rengar. There are two things that make super oppressive in that role. the new conqueror and sanguine blade. both give him an absurd amount of healing and sustained damage. so ya, for all of you aspiring rengar mains out there, yw! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Nothing to do with tanks, its the XP changes to jungle that favours early game gankers over power farming to 6.

Uhh, it has nothing to do with tanks, especially since you'll see some of them top lane.

It has to do with the fact that Rengar is dogshit early at clearing and ganking, and his objective control is terrible. He's never been a powerfarm jungle. He's terrible at farming.

You avoid all of those issues top, and even get to cheese the lane with almost nothing the enemy laner can do to stop it. Either they out-stat you or they aren't allowed to interact with you.
