i really didnt think the newgar would eventually have to build bruiser but all these nerfs seriously make me miss the pre rework come on riot please fix him and make him an assassin , bruiser just isnt fun to play and even if you head down to the rengar mains subreddit alot of people really just want a revert mostly due to his q just really reeealy being counter intuitive to his kit, his ult indicator also being another which pretty much lets the enemy know exactly where ur gonna pop up from which is pretty much the opposite of what stealth should be it comes back to the point that rengars kit is him countering himself infact your better off walking into a lane to gank than ulting as atleast their wont be a sign on the enemy saying hey guys im here to gank you.

overall i think the new rengar is needlessly clunky and dissatisfying to play and with these damage nerfs in the recent patches rengar has lost his identity almost completely, although i do know you guys can do better if you would just listen to the community feedback when it comes to their main champions..

People complained so much that they changed Rengar into a tanky bruiser. #Riot keeping the majority happy.

Remember why Tank Ekko was disgusting? Remember why GA is mostly built on tanks?

%dmg taken heal+spammable cc/mobility+high base damage is why Tank Ekko existed.

% Max HP hea is why GA is moatly built on tanksl.

And these are the exact same reasons why Rengar is being built as a brusier.

I agree, I've never been a huge jungle player but whenever I did get jungle in the past, Volibear and Rengar used to be my top 2 picks. I was never good with Rengar lol, but I found him fun to play. Ever since they reworked him, I just can't bring myself to play the champion that often. It feels like they sapped all the fun out of him. The new passive bonus of extra AD is lame and limits skill expression, the new Q isn't so bad but it doesn't feel as impactful or cool to use as the old one where Rengo slams his knife down into the enemy from above, and I don't like that his yellow skill points now expire over time. I wish they never reworked Rengar to begin with, he was in a good state before they changed him. Now he is just being nerfed into the ground like he is the jungle version of Azir. My issue with this is that no follow-up assessments are ever done to see if maybe an aspect of the kit needs to be reverted or changed around and instead they just nerf these champions again and again. Seems to happen with a lot of champions they rework as a part of these class reworks and it makes me really dislike pre-season and mid-season as a result.
