Hello i was wondering if someone could explain me why they dont nerf rengar? He keeps wrecking my teams in solo Q, well, only when he's teamed up with another big damage like leblanc. I am in platinum and I guess people suck at dealing with him this low, when hes combo'd with another assassin it's incredibly hard. Best strat is to have visions and lens always up for fights and to ALWAYS stick together, which is hard to communicate in solo Q. It's like that Jayce/rengar/akali combo they played in Worlds, when there's some sort of comp like that for example with leblanc it's hell. Like I dont get it they took out sword of divine just because of rengar yet he still 3 shots people lol? Bring back sotd so i can do my shaco sotd build and nerf rengar whos with me (i dont main shaco btw thats not why im complaining about rengar, of course he'll 3 shot shaco.)

.....because he's a squishy assassin who's escape is also his initiation. His clear is ok, his ganks can be very strong though. Build him squishy=blown up. Build him tanky=no longer able to assassinate. He CAN be strong when fed, but so can anyone. I'd say he's very balanced at the moment, if a little strong in SoloQ.

yeah i see your point my man, but fuck, he does so much damage that even if he dies with his no escape he's going to take the AD with him. That's a pretty good trade already if he even dies. In my opinion, if he's a little strong in solo Q, then his team is veeery strong if he's teamed up with a leblanc or riven, or some other high damage champ. Feel like its unfair how ranked is already pretty tryhard right, and if you're against rengar/more damage comp then you have to try twice as much, like you have to communicate a LOT )=. In solo Q, 90% of the time someone on the team steps up and carries, like of course everyone does their part, but there's always someone who has to give it that extra kick in order to win. Like maybe you're fed as ad and your top is not doing so well, but you guys still win. If you're against this comp, your ad cannot suck at all and pretty much everyone has to be on top of their game and i'm not just talking about winning lanes that's not winning the game, the support has to peel for the ad and everyone just has to tryhard bad against this damage hell or you will probably lose nomsayn.

How about you go into league pedia and read how many nerfs he got over the courses. After Kassa,Irelia and Khazix he is literally in 4th spot as the msot nerfed champ in the game.

I fucking hate Rengar as Lux. NOTHING you can do against him, not even Zhonya. You're dead before you even activate it.

But Riot won't nerf him because he's kinda bad in high-tier play right now. He has no escapes if he initiated, he has to build either pure damage or pure tank (he can't really go in between), and the meta right now doesn't favor him.

Im a rengar main and I have to agree he is strong a fuck if you know how to play him. He snowballs hard and either wrecks face or gets shit on. You can't play him as a noob he's to complicated and you'll get wrecked if you don't use his kit right. To win with him you need strategy map awareness a good build experience and you need To use the right combos in the right order at the right time. And you need to know when to engage cause one bad decision and you get bursted. But put him in the hands of a skilled player and he's a force to reckon with. Just look at insec or Ryan choi. The best players on the planet out of over 50 million league players. You know who they main? Rengar. He's a very powerful champion. With very few counter plays amazing utility and insane damage. You want to build armor against him? Nope he synergies with armor penetration better than any champ in the game. Your armor won't mean jack. You want to cc him? After I ult pop ghost blade and go in with full ferocity and stacks on my bone tooth I can get hit with 5 knock backs one after the other and I'll still get to you before you can drop me below 50 percent. He hits movement speeds of 550 plus at the low end I'd like to see anyone run from that. Once I get fed I can 1v2 just about anybody. And even 1v3 when things really start to hear up. All you do is pop ult get 4/5 stacks activate ghost blade and you become more dangerous than 95 percent of champions in the game. He has the fastest kill time in the game and can kill you in under half a second. I'd like to see you think of a counter play and follow throw with it in less than half a second. And his ganking power is absurd. I can single handily run to bot lane once I'm fed by myself ult pop my stuff and burst the adc in under a second and mop up the defenseless support in under 5 sec with only 4 or 5 kills. If I didn't main him I'd say nerf him. But I love playing him he's a lot of fun very powerful a playmaker a solo q god and on top of that is say he's one of the coolest looking champions in the game. Once I pop my ult I feel like the fuckin predator and it's badass. No other champ can do that for me
