How did Rengar's winrate suddenly drop so low?
His popularity just spiked (increased almost double) and his winrate went down to almost 44%. Is this a balance issue or is it just people who don't know how to play him?
idk why I'm feeling concerned

Odds are it's the latter of those suggestions. Any champion that is incredibly strong becomes popular. Since they are popular, people make them synonymous with "Easy win" so they autolock them and fail horribly.
A champion like Rengar has a lot of strength in the kit if you're not stupid and use it properly. Sadly, his strength is what makes him periodically popular without changes (Orianna is similar, she flies under the radar until some professional game then people realize her strength, then her popularity fades with no changes done to her and it repeats the following year.)
Lee Sin is another example. Strong champion, popular as hell, so he has a shitty winrate and people just assume he isn't nearly as strong as he really is. Or they give the whole "Muh Skill Cap!" because Americans have become so massive they can't move their hands properly.
rengar isn't nearly as effective when there are 2 and 3 tanks on every team

I'm not seeing the spike you've mentioned.
I've seen him a lot more often recently, likely do to him being free this week but I saw him before that too, so it's likely just players new to him not playing him very well at first
