Aside from having cat-like reflexes and the entire map pink warded...

...how do you not get deleted by Rengar (pun intended in the title) when you're not a tank?

Played a game as Vel'Koz yesterday. Was the only person on my team to not lose lane, so I would gank top and bot to help push turrets, and eventually we were up in dragons and turrets (and even gold, according to the post-game statistics). However, the enemy's top laner was Rengar who got quite a few kills off of our top early on, and I was the most fed person on our team- my teammates weren't doing terrible in terms of kda and cs, but level-wise, I was the only person on my team who was on par with the enemy, so if I died, teamfights were pretty much impossible to win.

At this point in the game, Rengar had enough items so that, even in teamfights, all he had to do was jump on me and I would die- even if I was able to do damage to him, he had enough health that I couldn't kill him faster than he could kill me. It got to the point where if I tried to ward a bush, Rengar would be there waiting to pounce on me. I was warding Baron at one point, and Rengar jumped from a bush and killed me. My team couldn't fight without me, so the enemy team got a free Baron, and all hope of coming back from a poor early game was gone. We eventually surrendered, but might as well have done so once my dumb ass got caught. Had I been smart enough to not get caught ever, we still would've had a chance, but that's hard to do even for people who are actually relatively good at this game.

So, what do you do when there is a Rengar on the enemy team and you're a fed squishy? Because at the moment, I feel like the answer is "have perfect reflexes and never go near a bush ever," especially since he can jump on you and kill you even when you're grouped up with the rest of your team- unless he's locked down by hard cc instantly, he's going to kill you.

The issue here is... the only way for what you described to not happen is to instantly use Crowd Control on him and kill him. You must rely almost entirely on your team for that and honestly I don't see how everyone is supposed to have such fast reflexes. I'd say Zhonya would help with that but most of the time you will die before you can even press the corresponding key. I do utterly despise that champion but it isn't as horrible as the one who is the cause of all unhappiness.

First upgrade your trinket to the pink ward this will allow you to basically always have a pink ward ready to place so you can catch him before he jumps you. In general Rengar is really strong at getting picks and in the jungle so try to stay in a lane. Its best to group and siege with pink wards on your flank so you can retreat to them when you see his ult warning. Other then that banshee can stop his root so you can flash away and try to either poke him before he can initiate or focus him down when he goes in.
