Riot, wake up! New Rengar will be more OP than ever before

Necklace: stacking damage; Q: cleave and piercing attack; W: empowered can clear CC and makes you immune for next one; E: same; R: crits.

I never liked Rengar but this is too much. He will cc you, crits you, cleave you and your friends, pierce your armor, and there is nothing you can do about it, because he'll 2 of your ccs! Isn't Azir and Ekko had to teach Riots why overloaded kits are bad design? Damn, I never liked new Fiora's mechanics for stopping cc. And now we'll have another even more broken thing.

I mean, if we're taking that sort of approach...

Necklace: No longer gives previous bonuses Passive: Stacks removed when out of combat long enough Q: Can miss, can't crit, doesn't apply on hits W: Healing now situational E: Same R: Nerfed to Camouflage (Evelynn stealth), can't just insta jump to anyone.

Rengar's getting an update that shifts him towards more sustained combat patterns and more hunter like play before a fight. That means buffs in some regards, nerfs in other ways.

He can do all of that, but he can't do all of that at once.

He needs to choose between high damage (Emp Q), CC immunity (Emp W), or CC (Emp E).

I like how OP took all the positives from the abilities and completely ignored all the negatives and restraints to their uses and only then calls it OP.... lol

Might want to fully read something in the future before bitching about it, pro tip.

Are you kidding? Rengar finally gets counterplay, and he will take quite a lot of skill to master. No more single click kills.

His Q is a freaking skill shot, for Aurelion's sake

His signature melee attack can now be dodged through positioning alone!

I don't know what you're talking about. His ult got massively nerfed man. He can now only blow up fragile carries if he can get to them without being seen. I can tell you from being an Evelynn main, flanking takes a lot more work and time than running through the entire enemy team like he used to be able to do

Also, his heal is completely gone, which HEAVILY cuts into his sustain and was part of what let him get so far ahead with Jungleing or Top Laneing so he could reach the point that he was a one-shot nightmare.

One fact about his ult:

It can't reveal all of the enemies' location on-cast like his current kit does. It only reveals the one enemy who's nearest to Rengar. So who knows, you probably ulted a tanky Malphite for no goddamn reason.

I'm just curious about one thing. Riot said that they want Rengar to be able to hunt the most dangerous prey and not just squishy carries. But with this update, all they're doing is making even killing carries a challenge, as it's much easier now to outplay him. Rengar definitely won't be able to kill any stronger prey any better than before the update. Just my 2 cents. I seriously hope I'm missing something here.
