He does have counterplay. It's called truesight, and the fact that his assassination tool (His ult) is on an extremely long cooldown.

Rengar is one of few assassins that rely fully on their ult to assassinate. Zed is another, but his has a relatvely short CD. Other Assassins, like Kha'Zix, LeBlanc, and Talon don't need their ult to assassinate (Though it helps), and others can in multiple circumstances. Rengar's alternate circumstance is that the enemy is close to a bush he's also in.

How doesn't he have counterplay? You get a giant exclamation point above your head that tells you so not stand out in the middle of nowhere alone. If you're with your team he has to jump into the middle of your team and hope he kills you instantly and that none of your 5 players is going to drop a pink ward and waste his ult. He also has no way to leave a fight unless his team wins it or if he isn't focused down for whatever reason.

You get a ! saying you are about to get blown up and rarely is it there for even a second if he plans on going in on a target.

You're joking right? It's like 3 seconds from the time you see it to the time you get jumped on.

You get a warning that he is within 1250 range of you. If you're not with your team and he blows you up, that's your problem. He's an assassin, that's what he does. If he blows you up in the middle of your team before being CC'd or killed then he's probably fed. Rengars that aren't fed don't just kill people instantly unless they're way behind. That massive ! is always more than enough for me to know I need to watch my ass.

That is IF he pops his ult that far out, which any decent Rengar player won't do.

Yes, you get a slight warning that he is around, but you have no idea where he is or who he is targeting. If you are squishy, he can delete you in 2 seconds easy not even being fed. Not much counterplay in that.

Basically sums up the issues.

But I know there are not a ton of good rengar players in bronze and silver. Most of them are able to get to higher ranks fairly quickly given the 4v5 advantage he is able to make mid to late game off of lane or jungle farm.

Buy pinks, watch the ! above your head, stay away from brush, build armor, kite him, burst him.

There's your counter play.

I could say ward and build MR to deal with Leblanc but taht never seened to be enough to stop her for all the people who complained about her.

Calling it now athat Rengar and/or kat will be the main assassin targets the community wants nerfed harshly.

Wards don't counter LB, they just let you know that she's coming. Building MR against a FED Leblanc is nearly pointless. You're better off just trying to shut her down before she can even do anything.

NO ONE except you wants Rengar nerfed. He's completely balanced right now. His ult has a ridiculous CD, his E is decently easy to dodge, his W doesn't heal nearly as much as before, and he has no escape after he jumps on someone, meaning once he's in, he's in.
