Rengar Balance

Driwm·Oct 6, 2015·2 votes·917 views

Rengar is supposed as a assasin, hence the jg rework a lot before and his rework made him apart i mean riot said that they tried to have an smite for assasins and for champions with sustain, but it ended with purple smite on sejuani and so many builds that were not intended like rengar's blue smite, because he could burst a little bit more and is even in his recommended items, while he can not even sustain the jungle.

And for not to mention that when his normal Q gave him attackspeed, he could clear camps evenly with other jungles but only his empowered q adding attackspeed and having low sustain made him waste every full resouce bar in W because he would die to the jungle creeps, at least buff the healing or return the attackspeed because even tahm kench that is support has more sustain that a jungle oriented champion.

Rengar jungle is fine. Sure you die to wolves or beaks sometimes, but it doesn't really matter when you 1-shot people with trailblazer and mobi boots.

It does matter, how can he jungle when he can't even farm in the jungle?, trust me if the enemy team is good you'll never 1shot anybody, you have to exploit early and mid game because in late, there are supports stuns wards and you can't just 1shotjump

Honestly, I play TONS of rengar. I run ArPen reds and Quints, cdr/lvl blues, and armor yellows. 21/9 with all 4 into cdr.

Don't even finish warrior just get trailblazer and rush cdr boots + Brutalizer for early cdr cap, and then u r good to go. Works liek an cherm bbgurl

This is true, However even if i bought warrior i would end up selling it bc it is a SHIT item mid-lategame. The margin of gold increase is not that great, so I would rather get on my tiamat + 40% cdr sooner and farm faster / burst harder ASAP.

Warrior rush rengar is 100% viable. And I will not deny at all that I stole my entire build from runes to cdr rush from NightBlue3. He as well will tell you that Warrior is viable. I have played both, and simply prefer the warrior skip.

maybe you're right but rengar is still unhealthy in the early game, he cant counter jungle or gank without missing something like farm or exp

Spaceman5pffOct 8, 20151 votes

Any other jungler loses farm / exp by not farming as well. I don't see your point.

DriwmOct 8, 20151 votes

but they can jungle faster so they dont miss that much time

Still running ArPen and CDR Rengar without issues.

No, you get more gold from having Machete (duh) and a smite enhance item, NOT the enchant on top of that.

Spaceman5pffOct 8, 20151 votes

You are right. My mistake giving him the benefit of the doubt.

As someone with a lot of rengar games from release to now he doesn't have a problem clearing jungle. If you're having troubles it's do to two things usually, either you're starting gromp on the blue side and not kiting blue afterwards, or you're going straight to red after golems start. If you start red go golems, raptors, red (smite red) and your clear will be fine. If you start blue side then just go gromp to blue and make sure to kite it.

Kiting isn't possible now that jungles camps have "patience" they wil restore 90% total health, i think that's why i created this post, he isnt as quick as other junglers and completely vulnerable to counter jungle

I mean Rek'sai clears faster than Lee Sin... but Lee isnt obsolete?

i think you're misunderstanding the patience system, you can still kite jungle camps just like you used to. Camps only lose their patience if you either become untargetable, like with yi alpha strike, or if you walk out of their camp range.
