Honestly Rengar doesn't even feel like Rengar anymore...

I mean, when you look at his new kit, you see some changes that added counter play to his old unhealthy assassination patterns , and then there is a bunch of changes that really dont make any sense and just seem like they're there for the sake of change alone .

The new rengar doesn't care about preparation for his hunt, cuz of the new ferocity changes. He simply presses R and starts running towards a carry that he had already spotted, only to jump on them for a big crit and murder them.

Combos are dead and gone . What was perhaps the biggest part of rengar's identity was his combos. From ad rengar's Ferocity 5 empowered Q for insta deletion or ferocity 5 empowered E for mobile carries, or even ferocity 4 for double W on AP rengar ... COMBOS WERE A BIG PART OF RENGAR.

outplays in 1v1s THAT ACTUALLY TOOK SKILL AND LOOKED UNIQUE AS SOMETHING THAT ONLY RENGAR COULD DO. the constant leaping ( which is still there ) and the empowered W healing as well as the ulti to disengage and reangage. THese are gone, in favour of a mini Olaf ulti in his W that no one asked for and doesnt even fit rengar. The healing is also inconsistent on his new W and messes up his jg sustain. His ult's camouflage doesnt allow for play making.

A really cool aspect of the game is AA resets. ( I love them ) and Rengar used to have them. Now he has a stupid swipe ability, that gives him mobility ??and Im seeing rengar players spam that cuz it generates ferocity and makes them more mobile ?? How does that fit the champion rito?

Also there some really cool sound effects in Rengar's old kit that you decided to just cut out .... I mean the new ones are cool , but why cut the old ones ?? they werent outdated at all....

Im not asking for a revert, because Old rengar had issues too. But perhaps we can meet somwhere in the middle: -keep the new bonetooth necklace. -Revert Ferocity back to the old system with 5 charges that dont decay. -Revert Q to the old AA reset that gave AD amd atk speed on usage. -Revert W to the way it was before with standardised healing and bonus resists. NO more CC immunity -The Ulti can stay the way it is for game health reasons; but a few conditions: remove crit on target.( make it like it was on PBE where he can only jump on target marked). change it to stealth from camouflage. Reduce duration slighlty, Add the activation delay like it had before, and give him back the bonus MS after he jumped on someone.

What are you talking about? He still has his 100-0 capabilities plus a bonus QSS thrown into his kit.

The changes were straight up buffs to him

They don't care about your opinion... Don't you think that they know what they did to Rengar?

The reason they gave him the 4 charges that decay is because he'd just stack his charges and go in for an instantly empowered ability. Now he actually has to stay in combat for those. Giving him stealth from camouflage would mean his ultimate would have to last 4-5 seconds. If you're okay with that then sure he can have stealth. Camouflage is meant to be long lasting stealth meant for an initiation, or some form of preparation. Stealth is your "get out of jail" card or your "let me hide myself until my cooldowns are back up" ability. Rengar now gets AD for killing people, he doesn't need more AD on top of that in his Q. I'm also not sure Ravenous Hydra was actually MEANT for Rengar and maybe that's why certain other parts were changed.

only to jump on them for a big crit and murder them.

I dunno, I would expect anthropomorphic lions to jump out of bushes and murder people upon landing, but that's just me.

I totally agree with your opinion. I miss the old rengar in season 3 so much. Rengar top used to be my main. However after the rework, the new rengar doesnt even look like rengar anymore for me. Its just a totally new champion. I usually stacked the ferocity up to 4 stacks and used double Q. And also when both the opponent and me had low health, i pretended recalling and used ulti when out of sight, then teared the opponent apart when he didnt realize im still there. After the rework, man i was like who the hell is this new dumb champ with all weird mix of ugly combos and shit? Even until now season 7, i miss my goddman old rengar so much. Bola strike rework was to be honest ok, but i just want the old Q, Healing W, and 5 stacks that dont dissappear after few seconds.

As a Rengar main (used to anyways, quit maining him when he got reworked) I completely agree with you brother. There have been so many posts and threads on here, reddit and youtube about Rengar mains uniting and pleading for rito to revert back the old Rengar, but unfotunately they don't give a shit.

Personally I just want his old Q and R back, the old ferocity system and also the bonus movement speed after he ults.
