Why are you buffing and not nerfing Rengar?

Give me a good answer. He isn't hard to pick up and start winning games. He 1 shots at 1 item. How can you fight Rengar when all he has to do it camp bot lane because he 1 shots them the easiest, then start invading and when ult is up gank. It's just stupid! He's like Kha'zix but played less thankfully

Edit: Coming back to this after I've had time to get over that game because holy shit that wasn't fun. I still stand by fighting champions like Rengar are not fun. And yes the same goes for Top Lane Rengar that is also cancer.

Because new Chinese Riot doesn't know wtf they're doing

Just look at this season and all the random changes they've been doing... It's worse than any preseason, it's literally just pure RNG buffs / nerfs

A champion who’s playstyle is to kill someone with one auto attack should not exist in the first place

Rengar can't one shot with one item like it's impossible. Like all you said was "I don't like him" and nothing else.

He is not played because he is bad. They are making it easier for him to clear which is does need.

I find rengar pretty shitty and is a heavy 'Feast or famine' play style. He either can One shot anything he wants. Or just... die I guess.

he isnt at all useful when behind. But when hes ahead. Hes INCREDIBLY frustrating to play against, specially if you dont Have Ga, Stopwatch, Hourglass, A support who can peel easily, Have the jungle warded and have eyes on him continuously, Dont have any Escapes, or any CC.

So, If you let the assassin do his job, Yeh hes pretty shitty to play against, because well. Hes doing what he is supposed to. Kill an greedy squishy players. (if you dont build against a fed rengar, specially you KNOW he is in the game and getting fed, and you're dying before you can get an Auto OFF... You might want to not build that 3rd infinity edge as jhin when your support is a Veigar.) (If you go try to take red, or try warding Baron or drake when there inst another vision in your jungle.)

If that all else fails, Just try to one shot him first before he does.

Overall, Rengar does need the help. However. I Really hope what they do to him isnt just "Here have more damage" Because that doesn't help anyone.

Maybe skim the damage from his kit for some defense, or clear speeds, or CDs.... maybe apply q On turrets/Inhibs.(I do not know if this is current)

Just tune down his empowered W tbh, its good enough that he gets a QSS with it, why the massive grey health heal, makes it really difficult to try to trade with him

Because Rengar is actively weak in lower elos.

The thing is, Jungle Rengar is weak when compared to other jungle assassins like Khazix. Tho really, that has more to do with Kha being overpowered as shit and less with Rengar being weak.

The problem is, whatever change they decide to make, it has to be done by nerfing his Top. The Bush abuse top with Rengar is simply broken and disgusting.

If he's 1shotting at 1 item (and not because hes ahead which is more realistic) then you need to pick up one item to negate that.

Just compare what happened to TahmKench and Pyke .

One got deleted from the game. The other one is an untouched depressing overloaded misconception. These people have no clue about what they are doing, and the consequences are evident every day more.

To everyone defending Rengar in this thread, I present this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFOdSxc6cQk

the issue isnt that he can oneshot, its that he can streamline his whole combo into one animation.

besides that laning against rengar top is like having your dick being put in a pencil sharpener. his passive gimmick is just straight overpowered in lane against toplane champs.

Illabethe10/2/2019, 1:03:55 PM1 votes

It's only a nerf to his heals from jungle camps. It's not a combat buff.

Charmy Bird10/2/2019, 4:50:36 PM1 votes

Imo rengar suffers from the bitching community syndrome.for example both him and LeBlanc are rl unfun to play against so riot chose to make it a little bit more fair. Old rengar could one shot u with his q aa but the changed q rengar kinda tried to not let it happen but the community cried so much they had to bring that unhealthy element back same for lb, her 100-0 burst is rl unfun to play against so riot changed it so that you have soem tiem to react and yknow make it fair but lbs main cried so much they had to revert it.

They think Rengar is "performing poorly in low ELO"

Yes... The reason he performs poorly in low elo is because he's a champion who's hard to execute effectively especially for people in lower ranks.

Smyrage10/2/2019, 9:13:49 AM1 votes

I hate Rengar, but if he was that easy (alongside with a lot of assassins) then there wouldn't be many of them feeding, in fact you are more likely to see greedy Rengars and Kha'zix' lose the game than to win, because they tend to tunnel all the gold to themselves and lategame it won't be enough that one Rengar can one shot the ADC. The problem isn't assassins in general, but the item 3147 , because this item just gives way too much raw damage to them, but it doesn't solve their lategame issue, which is teamfighting. Yeah, most assassins are atrocious at teamfights, because they don't have anything which would allow them to safely engage and then disengage and they are as squishy as a mage or an ADC. item 4004 vould replace item 3147 at anytime and it would solve both issues regarding assassins.

Because his jungle needs the bump? sure lane rengar does need nerfs but its also true jungle rengar needs a bump up.

Śhunpo10/2/2019, 5:36:26 AM1 votes

He is a B tier jungler, that's why I'm guessing. They forgot about how broken he is top lane though lol.

Dolfro10/2/2019, 5:18:24 AM1 votes

I would like to see AP Rengar comeback. W base dmg increased and W ap ratio to 1.0

Fear the Kayn10/3/2019, 7:39:49 AM1 votes

I really have zero issue with the full damage/lethality jungle Rengar , but holy hell that strange top lane Rengar where they build Spirit Visage/Zhonyas and just bush wookiees the entire laning phase is cancer to play against. You cannot fight back because his healing is ridiculous after quick skirmishes as well.
