Tips Against Rengar in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Daawwnn says “can duel you easily anywhere in the jungle at any point in the game only moment where he wouldnt oneshot you is when u press a max rank E personally i recommend banning everygame”
Kazuo Murasaki says “Build Bruiser to not get one shot by him or Build Zhonya's. Check bushes with Q! Try to pay attention to his stacks and respond accordingly ”
veipz says “Some of hecarim players give rengar extreme hard matchup i dont think that hard u just cant fight crab in early game, if he comes ur red u win 1v1 rengar's full clear is really low health clear if your bot has prio u can invade. when second camp respawn timers come 6:30-40 he can invade u. Dont waste any time against him. vs rengar taking river control is important ward as you can. Late game u outscale him if he is not gonna snowball.”
loganrichards says “He can break your fully charged E stun and heal to full from it.
He can move around your E super fast from empowered spells movement speed
Does good enough damage to force your E
But if you do live from his combo you win after”
Pullks says “Rengar has a good early game, so you have to be careful. Another dangerous points are his burst and taunt removal by his empowered roar. ”
garbocan says “This wasn't always a bad matchup, in fact it was previously Ivern favored. However, with Ivern's bush cooldown significantly reduced, Rengar is an almost mandatory permaban.
80% of bush tech becomes unusable when Rengar is present. You can't protect your team from targeted abilities, speed yourself up with Gustwalker, increase your damage, etc.
If you have to play against him, go Mosstomper and use bushes primarily for vision.”
Zero macro says “Briar has a good time against Rengar, due to Briar’s strong anti-burst(E Damage Reduction) and Briar’s Passive effect against Rengar his burst damage into low damage kit.
Briar has a similar jungle clear speed then Rengar.
Briar should be careful against Rengar before some levels into W and level 6 R <—> Briar E can easily disengage against Rengar (Depending on the Brush placement and knock back), Rengar can extend the chase by using 4 Ferocity E —> This will lower Rengar his stat check a lot.
”
Valkidol says “Champion has 3 HP bars. He can heal your whole combo with a well timed W, then beat you in the extended fight. He can avoid your oneshots while also rolling you over with the slightest lead. Unfavourable.”
DeritGG_ says “Whenever Rengar gets a lead in early game he will turn into a big threat in midgame as Udyr requires 2 Items in order to be strong and have survivability whilst Rengar can snowball with 1 item”
didohimself says “If he gets ahead of you , just FF , no coming back , disgustingly cringe champ. Try to time your W with his jump. Also save E for when fighting him :)”
DarkAuraLOL says “Rengar is my permanent ban, this matchup is very annoying, he can heal your whole burst throughout the whole game with his W. He can invade you whenever he wants, and your mobility is nothing against his due to his bush jump passive. he can just stun you and your e is useless, he can jump around with your q's, has insane burst and early dps. has insane counter gank potential to you, cause he can camp bushes and just lock you down with his team if you want to gank. Generally I'd ban him, but if you want to deal with him, just don't face check bushes unless with your e, so you can have the Dot indicator that he's there, avoid him early, never look to fighting him unless you have form.”
SYROBE says “EVEN = SKILL MATCHUP
----------------------
Briar can just use her E whenever Rengar tries to do his Pounce combo on her. Reduces his burst and allows you to turn the fight. Forces rengar to ult away from you”
Coccaa says “you can pillar his leap if you time it right and just beat him down at that point and you will win as long as he's not giga fed.. i usually would take coup de grace against burst assassins like this because if you're low enough hp to proc last stand then you'll probably die to their burst anyway, so might as well go coup de grace to try and chomp them to death”
Centaur says “His ult reveals you, can very easily run you down if you facecheck bush, heals ALL burst with W, has insane burst + counterganks, HARD counter to Eve (recommended ban”
MusicJG says “Avoid bushes.
He will out dps you early game if you get near one.
Careful for level 3 invade, even if you have Grit stacked and he gets in a bush, he can contest you.
You outscale and can match him with Steelcaps if he's not very fed.”
TheBougis says “Rengar is stronger than you early - mid game because of his decently high dps.
Once you reach late game he is an absolute one-shot machine, luckily your'e not the one he can one-shot, when you see his ult, stay very close to your duo and the moment you see Rengar jumping from his ult, you need to ult your duo to help him survive the burst. ”
Claws HD says “His new E reveals invisible targets. I start and clear to the opposite side Rengar clears to, play through my laners and avoid him as much as possible. If I get fed I have a chance at 1v1ing, but it's better to focus on the neutral objectives and play as a team.”
Lennox2 says “If you have ever dreamed of solo carrying, then go back dreaming because you don't win against this guy. I PERMA ban Rengar because I just can't deal with this anymore. Should be your go-to ban as well.”
Zero macro says “Rengar has unlimited chase potential in brushes and in the jungle, thereby he has anti burst healing and strong output early and later in the game. Nidalee has to try to use walls at her advantage to remain new cooldowns while rengar W cooldown longer than her 2de rotation in order to win. --> Later in the game when ahead, Nidalee can use one rotation to win. When even or behind, Zhonya's Hourglass becomes a strong counter option.”
Zero macro says “Recommended to go Lethal Tempo, unless you can group burst Rengar early on. Rengar relies heavy on on-hit due to his Q's. This is why Shen is strong into him in a group. Shen early strength will weaken really fast into Rengar. Rengar can buy Serpents Fang as well.”
Zero macro says “Rengar gains early strength from lvl 3+ over Zed. Zed can win easily when he runs Ignite, but thats not worth it due to how valueable flash is for Zed. Rengar W healing which can be optained twice due to ferocity. Will prevent damage from an entire Zed combo. Recommended to play it slow into Rengar, combined with rushing executioners healing reduction.
Be aware of Rengar Snare setup into Zed R placement.”
Scratchyerik says “It's weird. He's essentially no threat to you but it's very hard to lock him down if he just keeps his cleanse. While fed he still can't kill you but your backline will die before your Q can dodge. Gotta be cracked and hit the instant R.”
NegativePhoenix says “Full AP = Death. Would stray away from full AP against him. His damage gets nuts but if you can out-tank him long enough to hold him still off your team you have good shots. If he can't be fed he can't do his damage he needs early game to get ahead. Just know his W is a cleanse when empowered so watch for that when stunning.”
metalhydra273 says “Rengar can dance around you by abusing bush stealth and his w cleanse. Watch his bar and time your cc well, and he'll really struggle to affect your carries unpunished (provided he isn't one shotting them). Play as if he has a qss if his bar is full and stick to your backline if his ult is active. With good play his teamfight effectiveness is nil. A fed Rengar will make life hell, but an even Skarner makes him nigh-useless. Still, the outplay potential is in his hands, and it's up to you to find ways around it if you want to fight him.”
TruckDriver says “Try not to blow your burst before he uses double W, he'll just heal everything back. Again, weaker early than Lee Sin if you play his ferocity right.”
Waqql says “MEEEEEEEOOOOOOOW or rather RRRRRAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRR. Honestly, let him push. Keep your minions close to your tower and position yourself on the far wall, as seen from the bush. He will jump on minions to last-hit them, which is your chance to trade. When Rengar jumps on a minion, try to proc your W on him, but don't get too close. Once he goes back into the bush, he can jump again. Once he reaches level 6, stay close to your cozy tower. Try to wait with about 90 Rage, for Rengar snacking on your minions and then jump directly onto him while using Q in mid-air. As Mega Gnar, ult him away from the bushes and use W. Don't let him reach the bushes! Long story short: stay at the tower, wait for help, trade when he kills a minion. If you engage as Mega Gnar, keep him away from the bushes and don't die, please.”
MrFerrot says “Like Kha'zix, he will one-shot you. He falls off a cliff and can't really gank too well pre-6, so play with a tempo and gank/counter-gank advantage early. Later, play to avoid him. You out-farm him always.”
shacolovesyou says “permaban especially now in s13.10, he counters u really well with his R that can reveals u, maybe u can kill him while his abilities are in cooldown in the jungle”
Apari1010 says “My current permaban. How they haven't nerfed this champ into the dirt is beyond me. He will likely invade you and try to kill you and if you aren't careful, he will likely succeed. If he gets 5 kills/assists early it's pretty much GG. He will win every single 1v1 even if you have ignite. Even once you have form this matchup becomes a bit more playable. Death's Dance and Randuin's Omen are mandatory against him. Rhaast is more playable than Shadow Assassin in this matchup because he cannot cleanse your knockup with his empowered W.”
Sh4dow44 says “In low elo he shouldn't be a big problem because u won't get invaded as much, for high elo its a pretty disgusting champ to play against as kayn”
BradJr says “Skill matchup. Use your E if he is ready to jump at you and try to stand at the very edge. Use W when he jumps. (clone rating 6/10 depends on bushes)”
VrNtv says “Rengar is by far one of the hardest matchups for Evelynn. He can simply heal all of your burst instantly, and he can perma invade you in the jungle. His ulti reveals you in stealth which is a huge counter as Eve plays around her stealth mechanic.”
Borinn says “If he gets early kills it becomes very hard for you to win. Keep your bushes warded so you don't get surprised by him. Your 2v2 are favorable.
You can go either AD or tank.”
Virizion says “Pretty hard matchup. Fighting him early is already difficult as he is very mobile and his empowered W allows him to ignore your E. Tends be forced to get kills early or he will be useless. Try and fight him in 2v2 or 3v3s with a strong cc ally”
Purecactus says “Nightmare matchup. You need to be wary of brushes and facechecking brushes can be one way ticket back to fountain. Only way to win is if you focus heavily on tracking Rengar and try o counter gank him as much as possible. Counter invading him is also important to make sure that you have farm lead. ”
proxarius says “This matchup is playable if you can adjust your pathing around his early invade, and if he goes lethality there is no way he can one shot you if you have crown or deadman's”
Hazardist says “Rengar has enough damage to burst you immediately as soon as he hits one completed item and it will always be hard to see him coming and predict his ambushes. Build deffensively and don't fall behind in the early game, or else he will take you out of the game.”
King Nyash says “He will burst you down try to avoid him and work on the opposite side of the map you kill him if you get your form and he is not ahead ”
khaevolved says “Rengar counters Kha so hard, his e makes you visible, and his w makes him regain the hp he lost last seconds, his r also makes you visible and his q doesn't need isolation which means he can fight you at camps.”
Majd1 says “Defeating Rengar is possible if you know how to play against him. It's crucial that you avoid crossing paths with him by choosing a different side of the map to play on. Rengar is particularly strong in the early game and can win every duel. Therefore, it's essential that you avoid facechecking him or getting invaded at level 3 while attempting to clear your second buff. Doing so will make him an extreme threat and give him the upper hand for the rest of the game. To counter Rengar, it's recommended to keep track of his ferocity stacks and invest in an early Zhonya's Hourglass or Seeker's Armguard to increase your chances of survival.”
1Strike says “Rengar mains will tell you this is a good matchup for Graves but that's mostly because they have a low IQ level (look at their winrates off rengar)
This matchup is terrible. Given equal footing, you do not win. He overpowers you with his burst, while able to heal your burst. If you end up in this matchup, your best bet is to avoid him in the river and force favourable 2v2/3v3. Get fed then you can pound him because Graves is good into him with a lead.
Goredrinker build allows you to negate him, he doesn't kill you and if he overcommits you can remind him why Rengar mains ban graves.
Prowler build allows you to oneshot him if your ahead.
Take your pick. Ignite is also very good vs him.
So why is he a 5/5 Threat level? Because if he is somewhat good and he will ALWAYS beat you, one kill is all he needs, now you can't jungle. This champ is overtuned. Ban it.
Also start at red buff.
”
Narcissisticdude says “Theoretically just a better Shaco, in practice however, Rengar is an extremely mechanical champion who is relatively weak when behind. My main mechanical tips for kitty kat are
1. You can dodge half his burst if you can reaction speed him jumping out of a bush/r'ing you with your R.
2. If he R's make sure you are not the one being revealed as it sees through your q
Non-Mechanical Tips:
1. Often goes for a level 3 invade on your side, be ready, don't fight in a bush, you CAN win but it's stupid hard and he has to misplay.”
Smudey says “He wins early since he sits in the bushes and takes mostly one-sided trades. At lvl 3 you can block his Qs with your W. Try to trade with him by only using 1-2 empowered Qs and back off. Don't trade if he has stacks, only if he has like 0 or 1 stacks.”
checca says “Rengar, alongside Master Yi, is one of Zac's easiest matchups. Same concept, bring Aftershock and build Thornmail; they will always be useless after your two items. Rengar will never be able to fight you. If you need to peel for your team, sit next to whoever has Rengar's R mark on them. The only counter to Rengar is standing together.”
basrty1p says “Recommend to ban if you want to play her as a jungler
He's fastest assassin I've ever seen.
After rework, he's so powerful in early game. Even you tries E on him, he could still kill you in one combo in bush.
Buy Crown of the Shattered Queen
early to deny his gank and damage.
If you have banshee and Zhonya's too, he can't kill you in late game anymore.”
lovicoaching says “I mostly win vs this champ, I played vs it so many times I know everything these people do already. Still ban it if I don't ban Kindred or something because it's an extremely boring champion to face. Protecting from level 1 invade, warding against level 3 invades, and adapting clears is key. After that it's usually pretty free tbh. Flippy matchup if they full clear but most of them flip invade and lose game.”
Boptimus says “Rengar is brutal for the first few levels so you need to play back away from bushes and wait for the wave to push to you.
Grab as much CS as you can and eventually you should be able to start trading with him once you've gotten a bit of Armor.
Luckily you can negate a huge chunk of Rengars combo with W, then shove him further away from bushes. Once you take a few good trades you can all in.”
Suki545 says “Rengar has insane early game and skirmishing potential,good rengar players will deny hecarims ganks and make him fall behind because of his strenghts.”
Davecraft16 says “Don't fight him near bushes pre lvl 6; after lvl 6 you can try to fight him only if he isn't ahead of you. Unless he starts getting fed you should be able to outscale him. Some armor items like plated steelcaps are recommended.”
Heca diffs says “[12.23] Hecarim favoured, he can invade you lvl 3 but you can save your ward to cover yourself from that. Tip: Make sure when Rengar is ulting you have e activated and
use attack move. This will cancel his leap and all his burst.”
firetaliyah says “The only reason Rengar is in major for me is that he can kill you with bush cheeses. You can easily catch him and kill him in skirmishes and teamfights. Try not to interact early unless you aren't close to bushes and have a good spacing for your spells.”
Blubtastic says “Aggressive jungler that can abuse Zac's weak early game. Has good tools to stop Zac and get away, and can burst teammates before you're able to peel.”
Kukiziuu_ says “In my opinion its totally skill matchup. Good rengar will make hard times for you. If you play rhaast you should be fine until he dont snowball early. Try to counter gank him and do objectives. Hes stronger early and late game. if you play assasin you cant oneshot him because of his W that can heal him up in a second. As i said try to have as much vision as possible. Its still put in even because its winnable matchup and its not that hard to win against him.”
Bhyure33 says “Like Kha'zix he can burst you down at midgame before you can properly react, but unlike Kha'zix Rengar can face some issues with good rng, like the map losing almost all bushes due to infernal dragon. But he is also quite good early.”
another player says “Lot of Rengar players start on red-side for early level invade. U have no chance against assasin. Gank as much as possible to aply pressure on all lanes.”
ErniBurni says “Skillmatchup und geh auf Q oder W evolve, weil Rengar seine E Vision gibt, wenn er dich trifft oder er seine ulti macht. Kauf Ninja Tabi vs Rengar”
Hazardist says “Rengar is deceivably durable and, most importantly, his W offers a free QSS effect which means you should be careful before spending your Impale on him. In the early game, he also outdamages you by a large margin so focus more on objectives and arriving well equipped to the mid-game.”
Xerath gaming says “Shouldn't be too hard to beat since if he jumps and you press E he will be so deep in the lane that you can kill him most likely. Your R is free lane, if you feed him early you will get oneshot, but not many people play him top”
MythicalMinute says “Rengar can be a pain if he invades you and you're utterly clueless about it but you can go AP with the option of Zhonyas second if you feel like your ult takes too long to dodge his ult. Most of the time with AP Shaco, Rengar can't enter fights due to your box spam, even with inbuilt qss boxes are too much for him.
I dislike AD into rengar purely because if you burst him down to 20% within a second, he can heal it all instantly with empowered W.
So AP allows for longer fights meaning he'll heal less.
AP is great here.
”
ItsSplash says “Rengar's early game prowess combined with the fact that his ultimate can reveal Evelynn from half the map away whether shes camo'd or not make Rengar one of the hardest Evelynn counters.
Try your best to survive this matchups early game and whenever Rengar tries to R you, you must R instantly away before he gets his E-Bola strike onto you.”
BLaggen says “stat check the champ
ur only hope is to take conq into this guy. cant really win 1v1 vs him most of the time try to avoid it bc theres no coming back”
spuki97 says “If you are not experienced in this matchup then I suggest banning Rengar. If however you end up versus him, try to do blue > gromp > red and invade his blue side as he usually starts red buff and gets pretty chunked until he gets to blue. Never underestimate his damage tho, he can fight you even being 1 item behind. Best build: All”
PiscesPomf says “Pretty unplayable without Zhonya's as he will one shot you, but if he can't one shot you then you melt his face as he's not that fast, and really squishy.”
We1garLoL says “A good Rengar is very hard to beat. Who ever gets the first hit in usually wins unless the other is extremely strong. Play around his fury, if he has a way to get 4 fury combo then avoid at all costs. Zhonyas or an early armguard is a good purchase.”
Kao_Oak says “He can't really beats you in 1v1 unless he is really ahead and/or has a lot of bushes to play with. If he R you just use your W to soak his burst and turn him into mince meat.”
BattleCatsRoyale says “If the enemy jungle chose Rengar, you may be better off dodging queue, for your own sake. Rengar deletes you as easily as SA Kayn, and has similar roam and gank potential to Kayn once he has his Ultimate.”
MaximusWillCarry says “Cancel his ult/hops with your E and wail on him he is an assassin that can regen with his W rinse and repeat just peel your carries from his ult.”
Cheeseypops1 says “you have to give alot of cs vs this champ early game, dont fight him pre 6 you will probably lose unless you already have an advantage, Rush Steelcaps, Also never ever R him if he hasn't used an empowered ability in the fight yet because his empowered W will cleanse your R like gp oranges, But once you get Steelcaps/leeching leer or Steelcaps/Wardens mail you should win a fight to death if he doesnt outplay you with brushes ”
Eagzey says “It's not that Rengar's kit counters ours, it's just that he's very hard to kill even if he goes full assassin. It's also very hard to dodge his R ambush so make sure your finger is ready to press R as soon as he appears. Also harder to kite out because of his brush jump.”
Coach Myga says “This match up is very hard. You want to be very wary of brushes, especially before going to fights. Try to stick to walking around the map via lanes & keeping good track of Rengar. You can try and counter gank him early, but I don't recommend fighting him in river etc for crabs. I strongly recommend an on-hit build versus him instead of the critical strike build. On-hit builds offer more options for defensive items which will help versus Rengar. If he can't kill you in one rotation in the midgame it's very easy to turn the game & get the W. ”
YuzukiJG says “ I would normally consider rengar a minor threat because after level 6 he should completely get stomped in this matchup. The reason he's major is that he wins every single fight around the bushes pre 6. He can fully heal twice and burst you with full stacks. Make sure to ward and not fight him even if you have to give a camp or two pre 6.
”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “At level 1, Rengar may try to cheese you to get an early health lead. You can reduce his all-in potential by waiting for him to show before walking forward. Keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map so Rengar cannot jump out of the bushes and trade with you. Furthermore, stick towards the bottom side of the lane at all times to make it harder for him to jump on you. Once Rengar hits level 6 and unlocks his Ultimate Thrill of the Hunt(R), he may look for the all-in. Alternatively, if he is unable to kill you, he may push the wave and try to roam with his Ultimate. If he leaves lane post 6, make sure you ping that he’s gone to reduce the chances of him getting a successful Ultimate off.”

Aenimatora says “Extrem hard enemy in the Jungle. At 6 he can basically terrorize you all the time. If he doesn´t do so he will pay the debt later in the game, as you outscale everyone and anything”
BOSNIA AGONY 666 says “now, this is where the stuff starts to get serious.. as shaco once said; "WHY SO SERIOUS", hehehe... well, this is why.. this is where the original Rat IRL phrase of "ban rengar, stack red" comes from.. really broken champion, cannot escape from him, i would seriously recommend banning him”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Rengar will try to power farm early so he can get his Thrill of the Hunt(R) and start ganking more effectively. Try to delay this power spike by invading him and stealing away his camps. Try to place vision inside Rengars jungle so you know where he is at all times. If you spot him on the top side (pre-level 6), try to invade the bottom side jungle and take his camps. Alternatively, you can gank the bottom lane. It isn’t uncommon for Rengar to repeatedly gank a lane over and over again. If he has just ganked your lane, expect him to return shortly afterwards.”
TowerOfGray11 says “Rengar can try to one shot you, but if you have any health items yet like "Shadowflame", he can't really do much. When he tries to one shot you, you can one shot him back, but only really in the mid-late game. Otherwise you'll just die and won't be able to do much damage to him.”

Sambino says “Rengar is Rumble's next hardest matchup. Even if you are lvl 3, Rengar can still easily win a 1v1 because he can just W your burst damage. Once you have tried to burst him and he just W's it, you will lose every time. Try to ward early so you can spot if he tries to invade you at a buff. NEVER try to fight this champion 1v1. There is no scenario which you win. ”

lumihehe says “FIRST AND FOREMOST: TAKE ARMOUR IN YOUR RUNES. now,i hate this matchup a lot, but you definitely can win it. deep wards are key, and if you see him ulting towards you in your jungle, run away (not into a bush) and pray that you live, you can't fight him early-mid game unfortunately. similarly to poppy though, if you farm better you typically win this.”
Salmon Kid says “Rengar is really strong this patch and can outheal Lillia in some circumstances. This can be frustrating and Lillia's damage occurs over time and gets layered which is hard against Rengar W. Rengar has some hard cc in his bola and ways to get directly on top of you, but Lillia can peel Rengar out so long as she doesn't die from the intial engage which this build helps to negate through zhonyas and frozen heart. ”
Farmer Cleetus says “Rengar will just clap you away when he's 1 item above you, if you even go Rhaast you're dead. Might have changed due to the durability patch, I sadly see barely rengar players, so I won't change this threat level at all.”
Darksword255 says “Hold Q so you can follow him when he jumps or if he uses his R. You can mitigate all his damage with your E and u will out heal his damage. Tank-Rengar is hard because of his empowered W. Make sure to not CC him if he has full stacks of Ferocity.”
ThatsTheGodyr says “Makes a lot of Chaos. Esspecially botside. You can 1v1 him easily if even. Try to focus on Topside/Mid and Invading Topside. If possible: Try to countergank botside but don't waste your time”
rhvse says “Medium matchup. If your team dont feed him, you can easly kill him. Just stun him with your E and he is practically dead. Use your W to block his E and get more AS. Upgrade E first, he dont have any shield unless he buy Edge of Night.”
Nik7857 says “If you know a Rengar otp is in queue ban it. This champ counters you, because elise wants to get her damage off as fast as possible. His lvl 1 invade is also annoying. His W cleanse also counters you.”
ItsAydam says “I would normally consider rengar a minor threat because after level 6 he should completely get stomped in this matchup. The reason he's major is that he wins every single fight around the bushes pre 6. He can fully heal twice and burst you with full stacks. Make sure to ward and not fight him even if you have to give a camp or two pre 6.”
NegativePhoenix says “Early game is a bit more easier but late game is his. Most Rengars build first strke and with the burst he has late game already you'll get one shot when he picks you out. If you can, fight him away from brush in 1v1s so he can't keep hopping on you. If he ults try to W him the second you notice where he's jumping from and Q away unless he's super weak and relies on his ult to get any real kill pressure.”
Simple Shawn says “[TL;DR - CONTEST AT ANYTIME BUT DON'T TAKE A BIG EMPOWERED Q WITHOUT W ON EARLY. TAKE ORACLE LENS FOR HIS R AND TO FACECHECK. YOU 1v1 HIM AFTER EARLY POWERSPIKE, AFTER 1 ITEM IF HE HAS FULL PASSIVE.]
[Rengar is a very powerful assassin, he can literally oneshot your squishies in a fraction of second. However, he's orientated into AAs and so he's not good versus you. Just be aware, his empowered W cancels your E taunt and heals him a lot, he can magically survive if you manage to catch him and set him low.]
[ASSASSIN CHAMPION]”
Scratchyerik says “If he has his empowered W or able to quickly cycle to it its easy for him to just outdamage and outsustain you. However you still outscale him and should be unable to assassinate you due to your E.”
HadesxLH says “Antes Rengar ja era um counter direto do viego devido ao seu powerpike midgame, após seu rework isso se tornou ainda mais evidente, devido ao fato de rengar ter o mesmo estilo de viego (early um pouco fraco, mid forte e late mediano) rengar pode vencer viego em literalmente qualquer momento do jogo oque torna dificil o combate contra o proprio sem o auxilio do seu time, nessa match up oque eu recomendo e trabalhar no erro de seu adversario e puni-lo sempre que possivel oque pode facilitar uma kill ou ate mesmo vantagem de CS, abuse dos ganks antes do lv 6 ja que mesmo os seus nao sendo tao fortes os de rengar sao mais fracos ainda, jogar para countergank tambem pode ser uma boa pedida e certifique-se de nao deixa-lo a frente pois caso isso aconteça sem aliados ao seu lado será praticamente impossivel derrota-lo ”
SunLongGod says “if he fed, you can fled. Your Q or W can avoid getting 1 shot combo like QEWQ, which can make him miss his E and W or reduce his damage. after ward you can go all in. You can buy Hourclass to annoy him tho.”
NegativePhoenix says “This cat is a literal counter to Evelynn in so many ways. He can just invade you and not have any issues doing it if he feels like he can get away with it. Not to mention he can just heal back all his burst with his W and his ult gives him true vision on you even if you're invisible, so there's no point in running from him if his ult is up.”
quinn adc says “Play the lane away from bushes. Ideally, shove him under tower or let him shove so he can't bush cheese you.
He wins if the lane is neutralized.
If he is in bush, E his Q leap, and then when he walks back to the bush, Q him before he enters so that he can't get the second leap off.
This combo is essential to take good trades against him, so only walk near the bush with your E up.
If you go even in this lane it is a big win for you because you outscale him if he isnt crazy fed.
If rengar cant one shot you post 6, you hard win the fight.
Thats why i like bone plating and plated steelcaps in this matchup.”
duowithdeath says “Kha’Zix but a bit easier to play vs, he can easily pick you before team fights in your own jungle with R, recommend buy zhonyas 2nd as it hardcounters him.”
OfficerVi says “Be VERY careful for his invade early game. You can't fight him until 1 item. Take Tabi's and play closer to your team. You can Q him out of his jump. ”
RLluka says “Just a disgusting annoying champ the way to beat it is just be ahead and have anti heal in your team cause you will not kill him if you dont.”
Shro says “Rengar is a major threat for Morde due to his incredible AD burst, but also because of his ability to remove your Ult through his empowered abilities.”
IamFafa says “Wins before you reach ur mythic, but then hard loses, so make sure you dont die to him while he invades your red. Great counter against rengar is ninja tabis and ulting before he gets 4 stacks of ferocity.”
evil in says “Rengar is one of the hardest matchups for Evelynn. He can easily invade you early game and expose your position with his R. Try to avoid taking risks early game and ask your team to ward your jungle.”
Boptimus says “Sit back Level 1 and let him do whatever he wants. Once you hit level 2 you can E him if he tries to leap on you. Make sure you stay far away from bushes when your E is on cooldown. Eventually most Rengars will just stop trying to engage on you and start clearing and roaming, so make sure you communicate with pings whenever Rengar leaves lane.
Pick a Seeker's if you're struggling.”
AutisticBabyLvL10 says “He can be threatening pre 6, but after lvl 6 you should hard win any fight as long as he isnt fed and you have Plated steelcaps”
Majd1 says “Rengar can be beaten easily if you know how to play against him. It is very important that you do NOT path into Rengar which means that you want to path in a way where you avoid him and make sure that he is on the opposite of the map that you are. Rengar's strongest stages are in the early game because he will win every duel in the early levels and you do NOT want to facecheck him or get invaded level 3 on your second buff because if you do he will be an extreme threat for the rest of the game and take over the game. Make sure to watch his ferocity stacks and get an early Zhonya's/Seeker's Armguard to help you survive.”
ISwearImNotPolish says “This matchup used to be ever so slightly Kha' zix sided, but things have changed sorta. Avoid fighting him around bushes and build resistances to last you into the late game because he can regen all your damage with double W. If you do beat him, watch out for the event to get your fourth evolution. However, a decent Rengar will know how to pick his fights and where to fight you, so your best shot is assassinating him before he can react.”
Kat_Alien says “This big mad cat can see you even thru your Q. Only way to survive his R is to stay with your support such as lulu and try to survive that burst. Buy Guardian Angel or if you are going ap build that sweet zhonya. Good luck with hiding when he can smell your stinky cheese.”
YoungTact says “Can W His pounces but because he has a cleanse he can still outplay you. Your early game is a lot stronger in the jungle so look to out-tempo him through either invades or early game ganks. For rengar top it probably goes up to Major as the champion is a lane kingdom champion but you will most likely be more useful in teamfights. ”
DETDERT says “The battle of the nemesis. Kha'zix should always look for an early lead against rengar. Since rengar players, almost always full clears. Kha zix can find his moment, by shorten his pathing, and look for an early gank or an invade on rengar. Once khazix gets a lead, it should be unplayable for rengar.”
Novacane542 says “Assassins are a huge problem for karthus. Karthus has no escape and rengar can pick him off easily. He will look to counterjungle early so be prepared.”
Limaads says “Note: I probably have a different view on this matchup than other players. If I see a Rengar I dodge. The healing, gapclose, damage and fact Rengar is most played by experienced one tricks is enough to drive me away from ever playing against this matchup. Rengar actually scales very nicely with his passive and build paths this season so you can't reliably outscale like you would other junglers. Extremely hard to one shot him even if you reach your item spikes because of his grey health. The only advantage you have is that you have a lot more gank threat pre 6 but after that it's extremely easy for him to get fed off overextended teammates with his ult.”
Asternova says “RUNES: Dark Harvest. Phase Rush if needed.
ITEMS: Zhonya's Hourglass. Plated Steelcaps if his team is AD.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Bush is literally all of Rengar's gameplay, ward them, don't walk around them if you're not sure if it's safe. After-6 he doesn't need bushes to jump on you, so stay near your team and protect whoever he might jump into.”
Jksons says “he can invade you after his 3 camps so you need to ward bush behind your red or behind blue
bush on river entrance after clearing 3 camps”
Agatrium says “If he jumps on you, Q him, then follow him with E. Don't stand in the bushes to fight him, as that's what he wants. Let him come to you, then chunk him down. ”
Janooobi says “If Rengar gets an early lead he can become a problem so avoid him early and counter gank where possible, if you can avoid him getting an early lead you will be able to deal with him mid to late game”
DuckT says “You can counter him, but if he's good, he'll run tempo and jump before you can W his brush. It's really just a skill-check for the Rengar. You can avoid immediately dying. Don't just feed him W healing. He can heal 100% recent damage taken in the last 2.5s if he jumped at you, and 50% if he jumped with W. Don't waste damage, and you can take him down.”
Ferra says “Rengar is a good champion in synergy with ivern, but on the other hand he is an equally strong champion against you. He can make full use of your W and use ivern bushes as a boost to jump on you and reach you faster. Additionally, Rengar is able to deal a good amount of damage in a short time.”
Consolo says “RENGAR IN 2022 LOL. He can't kill you early, and if he isn't smurfing your team shouldn't die too often his ganks pre-6. Post 6, try to match him and when he uses his SUPER VISIBLE ULT just walk toward the team member that's marked. He can't do his combo if hes stunned midflight lmao. ”
FacetLOL says “You can kill him almost every game at his blue buff regardless of side.
Start at your blue buff then do Blue>Gromp> Wolves> Red buff and run into his Blueside alongside midlane and place a box in his box and kill him while hes double clearing blue/gromp”
Scythe Prince says “he will invade you in early game as he is stronger in early game Do not fight him you can beat him as shadow assassin if you are fed. Build Executioner's Calling and play for your team.”
ShuffleTM says “Fique ligado nos Stacks dele na hora de comprar troca, não exite em suar ignite quando for lutar com ele, ele pode healar muito no W. Se ele não tiver muito na sua frente você consegui ganhar 1v1 facilmente, gosto de fazer cutelo nessa matchup.”
OTP Toxin says “This is a fun lane to play. Always be in the low parte of the lane, away from the bushes, he will be going there and jumping for the minions, the trick is: Pay atenttion to the health of YOUR minions, so you can know where he will jump, then you punish him in every jump he does. After 6, plant 1 mushroom in easch of the tri-bush and you will make him cry. :D”
Zehmox says “you always track him down with your tremor if he ults and your ADC is very thankful for you if you prevent RENGAR from jumping on your ADCs great peeling will make rengars life miserable. ”
Tiger-Moose says “Strong early game. If he builds Divine Sunderer, then you'll never be able to fight him, probably.
//The difficultly of this matchup roughly varies from even/minor to major based on what build he goes, assuming you're not doing a squishy build.”
DarthMagusLoL says “fk this champ also. Literally designed to hunt for you, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE INVISIBLE AND SUPPOSED TO BE UNTARGETABLE. If rengar ults, run.”
SimpleShadow says “Rengar is an easy matchup. Time you're W for his R and bush jump. He can cancel your E stun and W ground with empowered W. This matchup should be really easy, try to counter gank him. ”
Abes_o7 says “There are some chamions on jungle that will oneshot you and you won't notice what killed you, rengar is one of them. You have to rely on your team to not give rengar his stacks.”
Zero macro says “Rengar has an Anti - Assasin kit with his W. Even when he tanks our combo early/mid game we will still lose it. Try to avoid him, focus on farming, counterganking and gank. once reaching ur first item combined with R, Rengar becomes less of a threat.”
Elekktro says “After Rengar's mini rework, but overall massive buff Rengar is a major threat to Viego. While there are ways to itemize against Rengar, a good Rengar player will run Viego over. I find it incredibly difficult to ever win this matchup.”
J98TheGreat says “Rengar is someone who if you want to 1v1 you try to do it in an area with no bushes in the river early, or else you want to let him have those scuttles. If you manage to kill him with or without a teammate before 4 minutes things will be great for you. This matchup is fair, you just need to do your best to counter-gank him and delay him stacking his passive on you and your teammates. Taking ghost can risk this, but it is still better for you than flash and you will need to play with that in mind.”
King Fidd says “Once you have zhonyas he can't oneshot you. You can also fight him early outside of bushes. Fiddlesticks effigies will block his ultimate vision, and he can't jump in or else he dies to your fear.”
Brosinex says “Él puede dispararte y si se vuelve más violento, básicamente se acaba. La curación y el daño que tiene el magullador rengar es una locura y, por lo general, puede matarte incluso antes de que tengas la oportunidad de lanzar la habilidad definitiva. Quédate con tu equipo y estarás bien”
Da Mastah says “This matchup really depends on how good the rengar is. Make sure to ward and meditate his burst. A good rengar will hold his abilities when ulting you to bait your w, so make sure to watch his animations carefully. You should be able to beat him easily if you get a lead, just be sure to ward your jungle for early invades.”
Jrift says “Cringe champ because Blue Kayn escape means nothing. also can CC which is not good for Blue Kayn. On top of that he gets more map pressure than you”
The Elysian1 says “ Not a big deal. Eclipse is doing the work for you. Overall just play for six , and don't get picked in the early game. When he jumps on you , get in stealth then try to run , or one shot him. But do not get in stealth while his R is active , since his Ult reveals you.
”
Sandor Clegane98 says “Everybody fears this mitten in the toplane,but seriously though,you have the upper hand in every aspect of the laning phase,literally punish him when he goes in to trade you or farm.
Dshield or Dblade.”
Dreamycake says “An experienced Rengar player will try to shut you down before you get your form. Survive until the form and you'll be fine. Beware the bushes!”
Citric says “Rengar will kill you if you run into him in the jungle with lower health. Snowballs hard against Shyvana. Not likely to invade early but be ware while doing scuttle because he may be in the bush waiting for you. Can also bring ignite and challenging smite to duel him if you need.”
LambWolf says “Watch out for rengar at early game. Don't face check any bushes. Try to just avoid him if you are alone. If you build galeforce, you can use it when he jumps on you to not let him completely one shot you with double q.”
NixLychee says “Good Rengars are terrifying. Bad Rengars are pathetic. Fight him early and try to get your laners to collapse on him in the Jungle to set him behind early. Do NOT let him snowball. Beware of bushes.”
Polarshift says “Can go both ways honestly, however you should have the upper hand. Steelplated Kneecaps will make it harder for him to oneshot you (if you're ahead or even).
Make good use of your smokescreen; usually you want to use it on top of yourself and dash out of it so he has no vision of you. You can also cancel him from jumping on you by throwing your W under him when hes in a bush.
Remember that you must try your best to keep your Grit stacks while clearing and invading so that you can outduel him with the extra armor you gained from it.
You should win lvl 2 fights if he walks into you without stacks (be careful of ignite rengars though), fight's without bushes in the early game, invades from him (since you have Grit stacks) and it should get a lot easier after you get your Plated Steelcaps and DD.”
Veralion says “He will almost certainly look to level 3 invade, so be careful. Rengar loves to target the enemy jungler as there are tons of bushes to make setting up kills extremely easy. If you get matched up against a skilled one, you will have to treat every bush in your jungle with a healthy amount of paranoia. Make sure to ignite with your combo to cut his big W heal. This setup can deal with him on even footing. If he gets a lead and plays properly you won't be able to play the game. If being chased down, path away from bushes, and if necessary ult/flash a section of wall that won't give him an easy bush jump on the other side if he follows you. Shadow your carries later on in the game and make sure nobody is ever alone. Try to use your ult right when he lands to interrupt his one-shot combo and give your carry the little bit of distance they need to escape. ”
Riealone says “Be careful on your ganks and jungle clear, fighting him might be hard. He has all to counter you before your Mythic spike. Insane damage, heal, slow, root and great mobility in bushes”
Goldenstinger says “He can one shot you late - ward and track him effectively. you are more useful than him but a good rengar one trick can ruin your day. ”
nZk01 says “Bruiser rengar is super impossible to deal with you cant actually deal damage to him and he will jsut fist you, try to invade him while hes clearing with ignite then maybe you can do something, otherwise very hard”
Arfreezy says “A bit weak in the current meta (10.24) but is expected to get buffed in 10.25. His level 3 and 6 spikes are very strong so try and path to the opposite side of him and split the map. Ninja tabi's makes this matchup much easier and you can start playing more aggressive.”
FREAKSTAR says “The statistics say you should win this matchup, however if you're facing a Rengar main smurfing this matchup can be really tough.
Similar to Olaf if the Rengar knows what he's doing he's going to try and invade you.
Do not give him a first blood, and do not feed this guy. He's not good at ganking early so as long as you avoid him you win this matchup.
Once you hit 6 and get some damage your ganks are superior. Play a team game, not a 1v1 game in the jungle, that's exaclty what he wants.”
Tormentula says “Rengar is typically a counterpick to Elise, but atm he's in a pretty weak state so you can outperform him in ganks and invades lately. The main thing to worry about is his 4 stack ferocity, as that means he can cleanse your Cocoon with W, and recover half of the damage you bursted him for rendering you useless with all your main abilities on cooldown. If you catch him under 4 ferocity, you can burst him, but if he's on 4 ferocity, you should wait for him to spend it so he doesn't have the big heal or cleanse. Build Zhonya's Hourglass to avoid dying to him as quickly, and late game play to Cocoon him as he jumps on your carries. ”
Doubtfull says “This match up can be tricky. Take Conqueror for sure and try to bully him in the early game. He likes to lane gank so if you have a lane that is pushed in, make sure that you warn them about this. If you can get wards in his jungle to spot out his path, that will go a long way. ”
IMissedMyQ says “You should not have a problem with Rengar, as long as you don't fight him around bushes. If you can get the jump on him (and you have EXECUTIONER'S CALLING) you can take him down pretty easily early on. You can also counter his Ult damage with your ult (you become untargetable) if you're fast enough. ”
Whynotbefriends says “A good Rengar is very hard to beat. Who ever gets the first hit in usually wins unless the other is extremely strong. Play around his fury, if he has a way to get 4 fury combo then avoid at all costs. Zhonyas or an early armguard is a good purchase. ”
KamiKZ says “This match up is Graves favored. You should always be able to 1v1 rengar in the early game. Try to contest his jungle camps whenever you have smite. Avoid fighting near bushes since this will Rengar an advantage over you. ”
Insightful says “this matchup is unplayable, if he finds you, he'll just kill you at any stage of the game, even if you try to cc him he can walk away and you'll never have enough damage to kill him, just dodge if they pick rengar or ban this champion”
AvidPanda says “Rengar is by far one of the hardest matchups for Evelynn. He can simply heal all of your burst instantly, and he can perma invade you in the jungle. His ulti reveals you in stealth which is a huge counter as Eve plays around her stealth mechanic.”
wyjebnik2zuk says “yea, again, serpents fang. Also you make for him bushes, which is most popular synergy and thing that makes this machup barely playable”
Insightful says “Rengar counters evelynn in every way, faster clear, stronger early game. And his R can reveal you, only way to play this matchup is by avoiding him.”
poopyOCE says “If he has a bush or ult, DO NOT ENGAGE, he will 1 shot you, as you build minimal Tank Items. Otherwise use R on him in Teamfights to deny picks on your ADC to win the fight. Otherwise, try to keep an early lead and avoid 1v1 duels in the Jungle.”
FREAKSTAR says “If they are a smurfing Renger 1 trick you will have a hard time. Fiddle needs time to CC champions, a fed rengar doesn't give you time.
The good news for you is most Rengar players are bad at the game, so don't worry too much.”
poopyOCE says “Absolute cancer, burst is insane, denies your setup by sheer existence as he can bushcamp then leap 1 shot you. R lets him become camouflage to scout for you during teamfights. Be VERY aware of presence on rift.”
Karasmai says “This champ I put under very hard because he is very very slippery and can one shot either form with ease. Red tends to do better in the lower elos, blue gets destroyed because he is the assassin who's an anti assassin. My secret way of beating Rengar is going Bruiser Blue kayn which is called Bluzer, Because i can have the high dmg and movement speed that he has and counter him with Exec and Cleaver to not die and sustain his dmg. Usually i dont like to play vs rengar but he is beatable. Just dont let him kill you and your team cause if he gets 5 stacks early of his passive he will run you!”
MexBookMaster says “Si se feedea es GG. Te puede invadir siempre y abusar de ti. Como cualquier asesino pierde fuerza en el juego tardío pero no esperes llegar a ese punto contra un buen Rengar. Juega Rhaast o Shadow Assassin (Azul) y centrate en feedearte más rapido que el.”
Exoslol says “Rengar is rough. Rengar either wins the 1v1's or leaves with more hp. Because of his W and empowered W he is able to fully heal your burst while at the same time bursting you. If you're not careful he can fully heal up, press R and wait out his cooldowns before he jumps you and end you. Playing around your team is a good option and tracking where rengar goes. Rengar usually is squishy so if u get him CC'd you oneshot him.”
gankyourgrandma says “Rengar is by far one of the hardest matchups for Evelynn. He can simply heal all of your burst instantly, and he can perma invade you in the jungle. His ulti reveals you in stealth which is a huge counter as Eve plays around her stealth mechanic.”
ak521 says “Very annoying with his R, can 100-0 squishies very very quickly. Stay away from brushes, stay near your adc. Might also be a good idea to watch out for invasions and keep brushes warded, it SUCKS to duel him- as like many other assassins, apply CC before they can do damage.”
Rhoku says “Rengar is free food. He will never be able to kill you unless he gets 10 kills ahead of you. Even then, you can tank up and outlast him. His healing is annoying when he goes Spirit Visage and etc. but lucky for us, most Rengar junglers go full assassin which means he is pretty much cat food. Make him regret jumping on you.”
Kayncer says “Kills you early, is fast, ward his Jungle a lot and keep track of him, or you´re team will have a bad time fighting him. Red is better off here!”
Dabgren says “As for early game, the one who snowballs the best without dying to much wins this matchup, although, Rengar R counters Kha'zix R so much, so if the Rengar plays fights out well he should win most of the times.”
izzlelol says “He can one shot you and if he goes bruiser its basically over. The healing and damage bruiser rengar has is just insane and he usually can kill you before you even have the chance to ult. Just stick with your team and you should be fine”
Lambda Diana says “He has so many builds that he can go full assassin or goredrinker try to not fight him and don't let him get a lead. If he gets to snowball its a gg you will not be safe anywhere in the jg. DO NOT FIGHT HIM IN BUSHES. Anti heal can help is need if he goes goredrinker. ”
OsakaSatang says “Conc+inspration
Annoying enemy. His burst damage is huge so be careful. Don't have much experience against jungle rengers but don't fight in his territory(bushes). ”
aurus666lol says “Did you know that Rengar VS Kha'Zix is skill matchup? Or like my friend said: "Who started - that guy will win". The reason why is that you can win if you play smart, but he can win if you play stupidly.
NEVER face-check bushes on river because he can be camping for u. With his W mechanics, he can heal all of his taken damage, so bait it first, after that deal your all dmg. If he gets CC'd and he doesn't have W, he can die easly.”
ItsSkoob says “Rengar is only a threat if in the right hands. I would take ignite against him and dont let him get early kills or he will snowball out of control.”
Ellesmere says “Since his rework, Rengar is much more difficult for Udyr to handle due to him being able to ignore CC... thanks Riot. Beware of the bush plays. Don't let him jump on you and run in the bushes and jump on you again and shit. Just stun him, follow him into the bush if you have to and beat that squishy kittens face in (wow that sounded way worse than I meant).”
Penguto says “Rengar is just the better assassins aswell he will just spam jump bushes in your jungle if he invades you, you wont be able to do more damage than him.”
Raggy69 says “Rengar is an scary cat prowling in the jungle hoping for an Ivern opponent. His claws and quick combos will turn your shield and HP into smithereens. Also he likes using the bushes against you! Damned traitors. ”
FrostForest says “Beats you 1v1 but can't teamfight well. Look to team up on him if you ever want to kill. He snowballs very hard and will take over the game if you give him kills”
manco1 says “Rengar is a 5/5 threat - he beats you on the scuttle fight with his bush levels 2+. The jungle is also littered with bushes so he always has his win condition. Avoid at all costs, outfarm and counter gank.”
RichMrFork says “ Note: I probably have a different view on this matchup than other players.
If I see a Rengar I dodge. The healing, gapclose, damage and fact Rengar is most played by experienced one tricks is enough to drive me away from ever playing against this matchup. Rengar actually scales very nicely with his passive and build paths this season so you can't reliably outscale like you would other junglers. Extremely hard to one shot him even if you reach your item spikes because of his grey health. The only advantage you have is that you have a lot more gank threat pre 6 but after that it's extremely easy for him to get fed off overextended teammates with his ult.”
Kayn Mains says “Very bad matchup for Kayn. Rengar's early game power lets him invade you when he wants. His Battle Roar (W) makes it incredibly unrealistic to kill him early to mid game. Do not fight him, however, look to countergank his ultimate if you can.
Neither form of yours beats this champ. Build Executioner's Calling and play for your team.”
LilPaniniUwU says “Good Rengars are terrifying. Bad Rengars are pathetic. Fight him early and try to get your laners to collapse on him in the Jungle to set him behind early.
”
metalhydra273 says “Easy on paper, but Rengar has many ways to outplay your kit and will abuse that if you let him get ahead. His enhanced w acts a qss, but if you can avoid wasting your ult on it, you can get him killed easily. It's an odd matchup that heavily favors the winner of the early game. If you go even though you have the slight advantage. Sit on your team when he tries to ult and he's not likely to dare try. ”
Jinx_48 says “i always go red form and always winning try know up him they combo if he going to r on you q away when you see jumping him on you to cancel his R damage. Maybe its minor but idk maybe i playing on worst rengars EUNE”
LilPaniniUwU says “Very bad matchup for Kayn. Rengar's early game power lets him invade you when he wants. His Battle Roar (W) makes it incredibely unrealistic to kill him early to mid game. Do not fight him, however, look to countergank his ultimate if you can. Neither form of yours beats this champ. Build Executioner's Calling and play for your team.
”
SpaceGl1der says “He will easily kill you in the early parts of the game. If he is any good he will try to camp your jungle and 100-0 you over and over... ward as much as you can and play safe. can also spot you in stealth with his R”
auileta says “He can counter all of your burst damage simply by healing, and you're substantially weaker than him in the early game. Regardless of whether you're invisible, his ult can find you, making you not as stealthy as you can/should be.”
InvictisOCE says “Better early game skirmishes, clear speed is close to yours, can invade you level 1. If Rengar gets a lead he is the hardest champ to deal with pre form even when form because of his w healing. If you get red Kayn you can deal with him easily if he's not super fed, blue form not so much unless your really far ahead of him or he's really far behind. path away from Rengar early game unless you have prio in the lane he's pathing to.”
Nanelol says “When he uses his ultimate he can see you while your being in stealth and you always will have to trade ultimates, so becareful when he has his Ultimate up.”
Nanelol says “In this matchup you have got the advantage until level 6. Elise have got way more pre 6 damage than rengar. After level 6 and a few items you shouldn't be able to fight him anymore. Definetly consider buying Oblivion Orb since his W can soak your damage and he will heal up to full hp in seconds.”
Eagzey says “Rengar wins most 1v1's I feel. And his R will reveal our invis. Also early game he can invade/late invade us Level 1 and we can't do anything. I don't like.”
uSgSello says “In this matchup you have got the advantage until level 6. Elise have got way more pre 6 damage than rengar. After level 6 and a few items you shouldn't be able to fight him anymore. But if you are ahead in items and dodge his jump out of his ult with your rappel you can win the fight.
In this matchup you should prevent counterjungling. Concentrate on ganking and counterganking After level 6 he may counterjungle you.”
uSgSello says “Skill based matchup. Rengar has more damage than you if he engages you. If you engage him + hit your combo and he has no stack you will win the trade. Pay attention to his pathing and prevent getting invaded. ”
Smartest2 says “Rengar can be tricky. He has an easy time picking off your teammates, but if you can anticipate where he's going to go you can easily out pressure him. Rengar likes bushes, watch to see where lanes are at to get a vague idea of where wards can be and cheese him from river bushes by top/bot.”
RTO says “Toplane Rengar is a nightmare. Freeze wave under your tower to avoid brushes, post 6 he has roam pressure and he has a cleanse on empowered W.”
qosmox says “Since he sits in the bush except when he lasthits a minion or jumps on you, your only window to take good trades is when you know he’s gonna jump for a lasthit. Walk up beforehand and prepare yourself to make 1-2 Q (Emp if possible) auto’s and then backing off out of his range if he tries to get back into the bush. Be wary of him when he has full or close to full ferocity stacks, and trade more when his bar is low or empty. Lvl 3+ you wanna deny his Q’s with your W and taunt out (through him if possible) if he tries to extend the trade. Once he’s much lower than you you can start going for extended trades instead.”
BlackFalcon2005 says “In low elo I have yet to find a decent Rengar, but if you do, be very carful with him. He can, and will oneshot you if not carful.”
Doubtfull says “One of your hardest match ups. NEVER use your W in fights, or you give him free bushes to jump off of. Try to track him early game and don't let him snowball.”
Narutoe says “With good reaction speed, you can ult and prevent his one shot, and then kill him in your ult. At all costs avoid fighting him near bushes after early game. Early and mid game you destory him, but he can still one shot you with his ult”
EUWRATS says “Wins before you reach trinity, but then hard loses, so make sure you dont die to him while he invades your red. Great counter against rengar is ninja tabis and ulting before he gets 4 stacks of ferocity.”
Xarmat says “Place a trap under your feed and wards in the bush. Trap the entry point of the brush where he wants to jump out. If the farms a minion, punish him.”
Kindredgarten says “With good reaction time you can negate his burst with your ultimate and get him low in yours to finish him off. A good idea to peel your team's squishies and yourself with your ult if he is fed. Most likely easy to kill if he's not near a bush. If he is near one, avoid fighting him at all costs unless you are super ahead.”
RadRob says “Rengar with Conqueror is pretty strong against you. A smart opponent would invade and then counter jungle. Survive the early game and you will be able to win.”
Caled says “Rengar makes the game extremely unenjoyable for Kayn and you will lose a majority of 1v1’s against him. Early game Rengar can invade and counter jungle you and beat you in a majority of duels. Rengar’s Battle Roar (W) prevents you from beating him early mid due to the sustain and cleanse he gets from it. Typically, you want to play more for your team in this matchup and look to stay clear of 1v1’s against him in a majority of the game. Only take duels if you are extremely ahead and are preferably going Rhaast.”
Loul_60 says “Annoying to deal with early as you literally cannot fight him. You're gonna have to bank on his low ganking pressure early game to try and win. If you go Red form just W him during his leap and you are fine.”
litecrunch says “If there is a bush nearby then you will get destroyed. You might have a chance if there isn't a bush and he has 0 stack but you should avoid fighting him early. make sure to ward and build defensively so you don't get one shot. Also, he will most likely look to invade you early in the game so make sure you path away from him or ward effectively.”
liserith says “If you don't ward well, Rengar will destroy you. This build gives you the tankiness to survive his initial burst, but his damage is still off the charts. Remember to ward and Q as soon as he jumps on you, W to reset it's cooldown, then use E to counter his E.”
HeroAronNavius says “This cat can one-shot you if you are not careful in mid-game. If you want to contest for drake with your team then you are fine. But do not try to 1v1 a Rengar because Viego has much DPS. All Rengar has to do after you just did heavy DPS to him is click W. Do not engage Rengar by yourself. Otherwise, Rengar is an easy target.”
Cayteer says “Just wait under your tower , he punishes you for even walking up to farm because of his passive. If he doesn't have his empowered W , you can pull combo him.”
chevy the sloot says “Natural counter you. Early game he hard beats you 1v1 and farms as fast as you after his buffs. Post 6 you can only contest/invade him if you have an oblivion orb, redsmite, and are ahead.”
c0st0m says “Completely unplayable will one shot you in auto q can cleanse your ult and you cant kite rengar whatsoever
give up however many crabs if need be DO NOT TRY TO FIGHT”
Shroomen Rider says “Rengar wins scuttles because of the bushes. You might be able to kill him if you catch him from invis, and he is easy to pick off during a counter-gank.
Save sweeper for his late game ulties because you can Q him mid jump. Put shrooms from where he is trying to flank from. ”
Tinjus says “The ultimate rivalry. Kha'Zix can easily outplay this matchup. Just kite around with your Ultimate and Leap, using Q and W as necessary and you'll be fine. Try not to fight him near bushes in the early game.”
Snadr says “Rengar can't really do any damage to Rammus. Rammus can easily catch rengar with taunt. It puts a lot of pressure on Rengar to snowball early and use empowered w to escape Rammus taunt”
UnaFlauta says “He has a very good oneshot potential, specially against Kindred. Be carefull and don't fight him. You might want to use the anti burst build”
Rubenvt3 says “With this build you are fairly squishy, Rengar can easily hunt you down if he is ahead.
I suggest a bruiser build when you are up against a Rengar that is ahead.”
PsiGuard says “Rengar is really dangerous in jungle or river fights where he can spam jumps from bushes. Ward to spot early invades to avoid being cheesed. You might want to start at your Red, since he can't chase you as well if he fights you at Blue.”
lolX9J says “One of the harder matchups.
Extended fights are hard due to his healing and conq.
Fearing him wont be possible due to 5th W or smite or him oneshotting boxes with his Q.
Lategame he cant win 1v1 against you tho, specially when you R his R-Jump on you.”
VenoSlayer123 says “The standard evelynn permaban. Pre-6, he can perma-invade you, and post 6, his ult reveals you. He can oneshot you before you can take him out at all stages.”
JunglerBuilds says “Should be an easy job, just W him, shouldn't be that hard. He is an assassin so you should be just looking to use your Twisted advance on him. ”
ChaseMorePlz says “Stay grouped and be ready to Q>R him when he comes out of stealth. Grabbing your items asap will counter him hard, the early game may be a struggle since he has the clear advantage. He is squishy so when you get your items you will be able to peel for your team and burst him down. ”
ChaseMorePlz says “Statistically speaking, Rengar is one of Vi's hardest matchups. She only has a 45% win rate versus him in Platinum+ games. In my opinion, this isn't always a very hard matchup, however respect his level 6. Rengar is pretty weak vs you early on unless he catches you pretty low, or if he is fed enough to 100-0 you. Your combo will chunk him out if you can land it properly. He may force you to build armor and tank items. Plated Steelcaps is probably a must versus him.”
BreakrZero says “Pretty easy, don't let him outplay you in duels. You farm quicker, gank better and have a stronger mid-game if he's not ultra fed. You're tankier in later stages of the game so he's never really a true threat to you. ”
Hxriis says “Many Kha'Zix players struggle against rengar. I usually go for a late invade on his red buff forcing either a smite battle or trying to fight him. If your botlane has a decent amount of cc, you definetely want to go for the kill on Rengar or at least make him flash away from the red. This should make you get the smite on the red buff. Anything after that is purely just reading the map. You simply farm up, always stay ahead and counter jungle. Especially if he doesn't have flash left, go for it but don't greed and overstay. If you are unable to do an early late invade, and the matchup is even, I suggest that you find Rengar before he finds you. I find myself realising that most of the times the one who catches the other one, usually wins the battle. If you can find or trap him and engage before he does, you'll keep the lead during the entire fight. Make sure to stay next to him in bushes to avoid his passive.”
Get Ricked says “Your arch nemesis. Whoever gets ahead can destroy the other. Who wins this is usually decided by who makes the first move. Be proactive and hunt for him so he doesn't get the chance to hunt for you.”
G Spot God says “He can cleanse your cc and if you are fighting in the jungle (which I do a lot with this build on Skarner) it can become messy even if you have the spire.”
lolkayleee says “[Grasp/Conqueror + Trinity Force]
[Ignite + TP]
This matchup isn't hard but just really annoying. You're going to have to give up a lot of cs to avoid his damage as he jumps out of the bush. But in order for him to maintain his passive stack he has to shove the wave -- so just farm up and wait for your jungler. Auto him if he jumps on you to get your passive. When you're level 6 and if your jungler comes you can R him and he's pretty much screwed.”
DarkAuraLOL says “The toughest matchup you can ever play, rengar can just constantly invade you, jump you through walls from vision and stopping your e, he counters all your mobility cause of his jumps, he outbursts you hard no matter how behind he is, the only way to win him, is to avoid him pre 6, out clearing him, trying to steal his raptors or golumns, since his clear on them is bad, and try to play around your team against him, once you get your form and your a little bit ahead, you will need heal reduction for his w, after that you'll be able to 1v1 him, but later on you might struggle with his ult ambush, his kit is better than your on ambush, so id advice an early ga or a ninja tabi”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Rengar isn't the biggest threat, but you should always be very careful in this match-up because if Rengar gets an early lead he can steamroll over you. ”
EvoNinja7 says “HE outburst you, but if you can survive that with a decent amount of health, stun him and heal with your Q. Kraken power spike is key in this matchup.”
suprfxivsilkshot says “Early levels he will out-farm you and counter your abilities. By the time you get ult, you're about even, but dying to him even once during the first 5 mins becomes a bit of a death sentence for the whole game.
The same could be said for a lot of assassin junglers. If you get into a 1v1 with a champion that is good in the early game, you need to gtfo of there regardless of what you are giving up. This is one of the reasons I like buying a ward first; if you can bring in your mid and top for support while your buff is getting stolen, you get a semi-easy kill.”
MetaSolaray says “Try to fight Rengar away from bushes and with low fury. If he's at 3 stacks he can counter your damage with an empowered W. Once he's engaged on someone from a bush he's often slightly away from one allowing you to run him down. Catching him at scuttle where he's likely to burn a root on is a great way to punish him.”
DarkAuraLOL says “The toughest matchup you can ever play, rengar can just constantly invade you, jump you through walls from vision and stopping your e, he counters all your mobility cause of his jumps, he outbursts you hard no matter how behind he is, the only way to win him, is to avoid him pre 6, out clearing him, trying to steal his raptors or golumns, since his clear on them is bad, and try to play around your team against him, once you get your form and your a little bit ahead, you will need heal reduction for his w, after that you'll be able to 1v1 him, but later on you might struggle with his ult ambush, his kit is better than your on ambush, so id advice an early ga or a ninja tabi ”
RedNBlue says “Rengar will bash, YOU, UPPP and he will combo you heal back a health bar, heal back the bar and then he will stab you with a Popsicle stick and then kill you by shoving his alpha fang in your neck bleeding you dry and healing, feasting off of your body. You blood he loves bloooddddd.”
C7 Lord Pingu says “This guy is nasty. If he goes ignite you just can't 1v1 him ever really. He will probably try to invade always so keep yellow trinket. You will need your laners help. Any build works honestly.”
KaynPlayer814 says “Rengar is very hard for you. He wins every 1v1 before you get form. Try to dont risk things in the Early game. If you go Blue Kayn he can always outdamage and outsustain you. If you go Red Kayn you can deal with him if you have Antiheal and some Armor.”
Dannala says “LANE: He will hide in the bush for the most part, simple stand on the other side and poke whenever he goes in for CS. Don't overextend too close to the bush so he can jump on you. The best way if you aim to kill him is to use just HQ+SQ and auto attack him until he uses his empowered roar then turn human to perform a full combo. Otherwise he will heal too much and you will have to retreat.
JUNGLE: A lot of the same as lane, except there are bushes everywhere, invading him is not gonna be an option unless you know he's really low. If he invades you you can only pray you get help or have a nearby camp to escape to. Generally do not engage unless very far ahead. LATE: Can Rappel his ult or Cocoon when he goes for your carry and combo him to either finish him or scare him off.”
Simon The Shaco Main says “Super hard matchup, can bait your Q and your ult with his ult. And he can see you when invis. AP Shaco makes it a bit more safer but it's still pretty hard.”
Linkay says “This matchup can be difficult if you try to fight him early and he gets a lead. If you are able to keep his movements on lock and counter gank, he should not be a problem. ”
Schadenfreude says “It all depends on his build. If he does goredrinker, you should be able to destroy him. If he goes lethality, be careful and try to put him behind in the early game. He is a feast or famine champion, so if he gets behind, he won't have much impact in the game. ”
TacoTheShaco says “He isnt that big of a deal, just reminding when he ults you and you go invisible, he can still see you and one tap you, but when he jumps on you, you still can ignore the damage take by pressing you r in time. ”
Karthus man says “Rengar is horrible. He will kill you very fast in all stages of the game. The only chance you have is to find a way to kill him in the early game, or get to late game, and get a Zhonyas.”
STVO124 says “Natural rivals, use your Q and W as necessary and you'll be fine. Try not to fight him near bushes in early, In very late game you will have the challenge to kill rengar or assist to gain another evolution point, meaning you'll get the chance to evolve all your abilities”
Rusitc1 says “When he hits 6, you cannot get out through walls due to the fact that his bush jumping has a rather large range, especially for the jungle being close quarters. His ult vision also means you are not getting away.
On blue kayn you might be able to assassinate him if you are ahead depending on his build
”
Maile says “Rengar hard wins early, avoid him early and play for mid-late game. Be careful for late invades because Rengar players are bit cringe and want to cheese their way to a win. ”
Happty says “He's not much of a threat if you're experienced in dueling him or if he's not that good, though, if he's a professional and you're not so experienced, he might be a big threat.”
CalicoCactus says “AD Assassin, haha. Rengar is literally the worst AD Assasin in the jungle meta I can think of now, he just does everything a lot worse than champions like Ekko and Kha'Zix.”
Joseppi1234 says “I just hate him
He jumps at you, he jumps again. He can one shot you if fed before your W even registers, and its just not a fun time at all.”
White Cr0w says “Skill matchup.
Strong assassin and duellist if he has everything up. Kill him when he uses his 5 fury charge to heal up on his jungle. Make sure you upgrade your red trinket so he doesn't use ultimate to escape.”
KevinThyAsian says “Read khazix’s threat description, very similar concept. Rengos a little bit easier to vs early on as he outputs less dmg than kha early (assuming kha has iso)”
Katszu says “Rengar should be avoided in the early game. Don't look into any bushes. If you're alone, try to avoid him. If you build galeforce, you may utilize it to prevent him from totally one-shotting you with double q when he jumps on you.”
Embracing says “If he jumps on you it's pretty donezo, but you can win fights if you have vision of him and land spear on him. Extremely hard matchup because there's no counterplay once he's already on top of you, but with proper tracking and positioning you can bait out good fights.”
Minase says “This is an extremely hard matchup. The only way you can beat this matchup is by pathing in such a way where he can never find you. Look to start either Wolves or Raptors. It is always better to give up camps than to die to him because once you die once to him the game is almost always lost. ”
BoyWonder00 says “He scales super hard and will be looking to get kills as often as possible. Strong throughout the game. He doesn't have CC that can cancel your W, and if you can deny him kills then you outscale him.”
ACE4291 says “Avoid him and anti heal
Dont worry if he gets ahead you still make a better impact on team fights than him only if your team is decent tho so be careful
NEVER FIGHT ALONE unless you destroyed him early and he's like 0-5”
FalleN3 says “He will easily kill you in the early parts of the game. After level 6 you begin to have a chance at winning trades against him. If he's any good, he will try to camp your jungle and 100-0 you over and over... ward as much as you can and play safe. Try to avoid fighting him near bushes and dodge his (E) Bola Strike. Some armor and health can go a long way.”
FalleN3 says “Man, this damage is just annoying. He will easily kill you in the early parts of the game. If he is any good he will try to camp your jungle and 100-0 you over and over... ward as much as you can and play safe.”
Holessando says “even matchup, you should be able to fight him and kill him.. if you're not sure, just wait for lv 6 and then fight him, you should be able to kill him with ULT for sure.. but don't if you're losing, that's a bad idea then.. help your team, dont focus on him, he falls of late game, you shine in late game, so theres not much to worry about ”
Afro D Legend says “A lot of damage if user has the right build, and the duskblade slow is enough to be a huge nuisance. You also might not know where he's coming from when in ult, so it'll be hard to run, especially if you don't have anything to auto attack beforehand. ”
metalhydra273 says “This matchup will always be lopsided, but is more of an uphill battle for Rengar. Skarner can easily deal with him by sitting on whoever Rengar wants to jump on provided you don't let him w your ult unpunished. If Rengar gets ahead though, he absolutely shits on Skarner nearly at Olaf's level. He will easily one shot you and while countering or threatening to counter any cc you throw at him with w. Don't let him get ahead and you can win this reliably.”
FrankWhite47 says “Rengar is a big treath because he can see you with his ult and he can also invade you pretty easy so the best thing to do is ward your jungle good or ask laners to ward and make sure you are always ahead of him when he tries to invade you so lets say you know he starts red and you know his pathing and he will invade you on blue just skip your blue buff then and go to his blue buff for an example”
THCrow says “Rengar has high burst early on and usually wins in fights against you in early engagements and should be avoided until mid to late game. ”
AKScorched says “Stay as far away from him as possible. Q him if he jumps or ults on you or your teammates and fight him then only if you're with a teammate. Focus him in teamfights if he gets too close and don't invade too much since he can kill you in the matter of 1-5 seconds at any point in the game.”
CinderTheSnake says “Early game look out for a invade. He can spot you in his ulti so play around that. He's a really big threat both early and late game.”
Ruffhsu says “At first glance, he might be a terrifying match up, but you can interrupt his leap with your W (in Red form) with good timing. As long as you can consistently do so, his damage against you is not too threatening. ”
chasemyman1 says “Be careful as even when you are ahead he can easily kill you. Avoid invading his jungle unless you KNOW he is not their. Use your Rappel just as he jumps on you with his ultimate to avoid damage.”
Twist21 says “Rengar is an oppressive early game champion but Tryndamere has enought sustain to deal with him.In this matchup you shouldn't really look to fight him pre 6 unless he doesn't have his passive fully stacked.Standard runes and sums for this one.”
Sandomar says “His kit is a dangerous counter-jungle for most, but Udyr can stun and kill.
May need teammates to assist with ctrl-wards to map location and plan ambushes.”
PsiGuard says “He can bully you early and his ult will reveal you in stealth if you're the closest enemy to him. You can survive his ult if you use your R as he jumps, but you'll usually need teammates nearby to kill him after that. Ward defensively to get through the early game and either get a pick before he presses R, or group with your team for more safety.”
xFirefoxYBA says “Rengar is one of evelynn's biggest counters. mainly cause he can spot you for his team with his r and his dmg comes from auto attacks.
I did not place him in EXTREME only because he takes a lot of skill and most players don't know how to play him properly and fully abuse you.”
Sinister Buffoon says “Rengar is weird. I mean in my experience, rengar withouyt be feed is easy to kill with shaco. You have your w and he has to use his smite to destroy your box or use some skill in box. That make him lose a lot of dmg or time and with your clone etc you can defeat him not really hard. The problem with rengar is his snowball. If rengar get feed then you are in a big problem. With his R he will see you even in your Q so in that point he jump on you and instakil. Build some armor then you will have an option.”
MrMuckDuck says “Rengar will most likely always grind your gears, or... flop your wings. If you manage to take down Rengar in early-game, you are most likely good to go. Remember that Rengar has both a lot of upsides and downsides to being your competitor. Rengar's passive, Unseed Predator, has a lot of advantage when brush camping. Rengar can vault onto you and easily take you down if you don't see him coming. The same principle goes for his ultimate, Thrill of the Hunt. TotH makes Rengar invisible and fast. Rengar can also vault onto you while ulting. This is where Rengar's downsides come out. Since Kha'Zix can both leap away and go invisible, the champions' abilities counter-cancel each other. When Rengar uses his ultimate around you, use your ultimate to go invisible and you're good to go.”
Happty says “Big no-no, he can easily kill you while being alone. The only way to beat him is by taking the lead by farming and being fed, but if he gets fed, then it won't be easy to kill him, at all. I normally won't approach him unless he's low or if he's way outleveled.”
TheInkKingLoL says “Rengar is a strong jungler, strong jungle fighter, and strong ganker. His ultimate, Thrill of the Hunt, allows him to easily jump on you and your teammates and kill you quickly. If he gets ahead early on, he will be able to kill most junglers and laners easily.”
Eggoman says “You will have trouble fighting him as you will never get to make the first move. If you see he used his ult be ready to counter with yours as soon as he jumps to knock him back.”
M.P.C says “TBH it really depends on the person who plays him. If he's smart he'll take advantage of his passive and do Peek-A-Boo's from the bush's to farm and harass/kill you then you're out of luck. But if its the opposite, EASIEST LANE EVER.”
KillyOne says “Rengar is always a mixed bag, in some games they are extremely strong in others non existent. He has pretty bad early clears, and is a threat only if he snowballs. Try to invade him or sniff him out at low HP in his jungle.”
KillyOne says “As Rengar players are all over the place in terms of skill. I don't find Rengar to be a Major threat for Lillia because he needs a skilled player to be effective. I would still be careful when engaging in a fight with him, but if he has no bushes you can easily kite him to death.”
NoaaaaXD says “Rengar can get oneshot you with duskblade powerspike, and you should be very careful to go alone. You should play around your team, so you atleast can trade 1 for 1. If you catch him far from a bush you can run him down. Just be careful of his W which can heal him to full HP again.”
League Of Cursed says “I'd want to put this lower, but most of the time I've ended up fighting over bushes with this man. Hes frustrating given his burst. Never fight him alone, but try to counter gank him whenever you can. You both are looking to gank at 6 or higher anyhow.
”
Poohlio says “This cat ain't friendly D: he will make your early game hell. Just seeing a bush will give you anxiety and he loves it. Don't contest scuttle early, ward up and team up to hunt him down. Once you get form it'll be easier.”
Jogress says “A good rengar will bully you through the entire game. He is stronger and it's hard to outrun him in the jungle. Ward everything, ping for your team to help, buy early armor and... BEWARE OF EVERY BUSH!
Good rengar may jump on your fresh ward and then jump on your head right after - a true horror of a champion”
AWierdShoe says “Rengar has the potential to one-shot you through bushes, so try not to facecheck if you think he's around the area. If you spot him in a bush, you can pop your W on him so he can't leap onto you. If he has no bush to play around, it is possible to duel him 1v1. You need to dodge his E, and watch out for his R as he can catch you by surprise and kill you before you can react.”
DarkArbalist613 says “Rengar's one shot Potential and invisibility can be a huge problem. His Empowered E can root you and keep you from escaping, and his ult means your never safe if he is fed. Play off his cooldowns and try to use your laners as bait and countergank him.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “If you know he is onto you, you can turn the fight by ulting as soon as he jumps on you, allowing you a chance to fight him off, then try to avoid bushes, dodge his bolas and use the tremendous slows you have in your arsenal to keep him at distance while making him regret his life choices.”
Shujin Jasukai says “Rengar isn't super hard to deal with as when he ults you can meditate to reduce his damage which will either put him in a bad position or force him to go for someone else on your team ”
TotallyEclipse says “Rush ninja tabi bramble vest and you can fight him. Otherwise there's literally no hope, stand on the opposite side of the wave and try to farm what you can. You'll outscale and destroy him out of lane.”
MegaAlphaDog says “coin-flip match up, skill dependent on who will come out on top, his early clear sucks so look to take advantage, but only if your lane has prio.”
TimRhabey says “Sempre ande proximo dos arbustos com seu E ligado se por algum motivo ele pular em voce sejq rapido, stune ele e fatie ele com seu Q recomento PTA com smite vermelho. (Warde bastante especialmente os arbustos proximos dos rios.)”
DarkPit59 says “Grâce à son ultime et ses lourds dégâts, en plus de ne pas pouvoir lui faire face en earlygame, il pourra vous révéler et vous traquer à partir du niveau 6. ”
OxDZZZZ says “Rengar can reveal eve in her ultimate, and can one shot her easily, and can win early invades against her, so if you are up to play evelynn ban him ”
Al3ksP says “Rengar will be hard to get especially if your ap shaco, heäll wait in bushes and when you get there he'll jump out and one shot you, best way to handle a rengar is to stay in your own jungle as much as possible”
Hawary says “in team fights if u r not going to kill the enemy carry , then protect urs from rengo and stay away from the bushes if u stun him go all in nd he will run like a pussy ”
Vodka4Gaben says “You outscale Rengar but if its a good rengar he will most likely camp your jungle or try to invade as much as possible. Until you get form, don't even think of fighting him.”
WickedPoppet says “I'd want to put this lower, but most of the time I've ended up fighting over bushes with this man. Hes frustrating given his burst. Never fight him alone, but try to counter gank him whenever you can. You both are looking to gank at 6 or higher anyhow.”
D3str00 says “Same as Kha'zix - beast on level 3. Also you can be ambushed from a bush. Avoid him in the early stages of the game, try to find opportunity on level 6.”
Sorrowful Prince says “Definition of anti-fun champ. Just farms up to 2 lethality items and then jumps on your carry without any counterplay. If you meet him alone you can kill him easily. Don't fight near a bush! Be careful with 1:25 as well. Try to make an investment before he can make one. In this case toplane bruisers really become a good win condition because your botlaner won't be one.”
Nyftt says “Rengar's R ability is a hard counter as it reveals your invisibility. As well as this his one shot potential makes it very hard for you. Against him make sure to keep your jungle entrances warded so he can't cheese kill your jungle. Against him opting for zhonya can be quite effective depending on the game.”
Freeakzoid says “There are basically no extreme threats for Rek'Sai, as she herself is an extreme threat to every other jungler thanks to her Tremor Sense (great for counterganking), extremely high damage in early game (can 1v1 almost every champion early) and her unique tunnel mechanism which has higher range than Flash (can escape or engage from places, where other champions can not). The only 'even' matchups for her are very heavy damage early junglers like Rengar, lee, elise.”
Nico449c says “Hes the hardest counter to you either you have to 2v2 or teamfight against him since hes W can negate most of your dmg combo so dont fight him unless your really fed. Try countergank or outgank him to win lvl 3 you dont have a chance if hes near a bush.”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Rengar isn't the biggest threat, but you should always be very careful in this match-up because if Rengar gets an early lead he can steamroll over you. ”
GODEFFO says “Rengar is a different issue for TF. There is counter potential, either using Stopwatch or just spam Attack moving while close to bushes, but Rengar's burst is very dangerous when it comes to facing him with TF. ”
Fabosch is Love says “Usually played by OTP, Rengar is a strong problem if he's fed. He has the engage priority on you when he ults. He destroys the Assassin Wukong. But you will have a stronger teamfight impact with the monkey. Keep some tankiness (Tabis is the best item against Rengar).”
RaptorDre says “Isn't a hard matchup, if your quick on reactions you can E his jump. He will be able to W back a lot of the hp you just bursted out though so try and space it out a small bit. ”
urrb says “This champion wins against Kha'Zix unless you can catch him with his abilities on cooldown and fight him in a bush where he can't get any passive autos on you. Don't ever fight him near bushes unless you're ready to all in him inside the bush. I generally try to get a lead by ganking before ever attempting to fight him. ”
SpecterZX says “This is ridiculously easy..
Incredibly predictable and easy to 1v1.Even if he gets fed you should live with your W and he wont have any abilities left to use.”
KitsyMamori says “His all in combo is easier to land then yours. Be really careful for counters in your jungle as he is really strong around bushes. When you see his ult pop-up on your head, wait for him to jump on you while you run away and at the second he jumps E > W > RUN OR FIGHT!”
OGPOTATOJEFFSHACO says “you cant beat him until you get R or unless rengar is ass. play smart. your ganks are better. be patient, once you have R you win fights easily”
Quezel says “Rengar can be very hard if you don't know the range on his leap however once you learn it the matchup gets a bit easier. Farm with q and use your e to pull him back to you when he leaps in or tries to retreat to a bush. Once you get seekers tabi it becomes significantly easier to fight him 1v1. NEVER ult him when has has ferocity his empowered w can remove your ult look to ult him behind you away from bushes to make the fight easier.”
DonaldBinBaggin says “Good rengar players will run you over. You simply get outdamaged in a 1v1. Look to take drakes/rift herald and play for objectives. Don't be alone with low health while rengar still has R up.”
Mkcls says “One shot. With every R. possible to kill if you have huge advantage, but you cannot let him get into bushes. Leave scuttle, its not worth it. Kinda viable to early cheese.”
Simphoria says “Its like any other assassin. Clear a bit, gank. Our passive can protect us from his initial burst. He is a bit trickier than others because we have to watch where we Q. If we Q anywhere near a bush he will just jump to us or if we use our E when he has 5 stacks then he will empower W to break it. Other than that, he's not much different than any other assassin.
Late game when he ults, hover around your backline and the moment you see him dash in or if you can see him in the sweeper, then Q him. ”
HackedAccountlol says “Do a 5 point defense against him cause sometimes he will invade with his team in your jungle and if that happens just don't try to fight them cause Rengar in the jungle with bushes to help build up his fury will demolish your gameplan.”
Xelaadryth says “Auto attack him a lot. If he's in brush, stand far away, and look to hit him when he jumps out for cs with Qs and autos. He should have a hard time reaching you, especially if you dodge his slow/snare with your E.”
LFS_aXent says “Rengar and Kha'Zix are mechanically the same champion. I say you have a better time with Rengar, because you have the opportunity to play in the open with him, and beat down the kitty while he desperately tries jumping from bushes. Keep your distance late game, he will one shot with ult if you're not careful. Use your E wisely.”
Mr. Nyahr says “Depending on the player, Rengar can be a pain. Usually, however, he's not a big deal if you play correctly. He falls off late game, where you excel. Try to protect your squishy laners from his insane burst, and avoid his Bola Shot.”
Laverenz says “Rengar is a high one-burst champion, which makes a quite difficult opponent for Skarner. If you're ahead, he will use Ultimate to run away. If you're behind, he will just oneshot you”
today ill feed enemy team says “Weak early and Tiger Stance will destroy him, don't get caught low hp by his ult or you will die, when he ults use your E before he jumps on you and shred him.”
KingZogu says “personally i find rengar to be a massive pain in the early and mid game due to my agressive nature and karthus's low mobility rengar can pretty easily counter gank you and force a reaction.”
SirZeros says “Okay, this is most likely not gonna be a midlane matchup, but here's a great way to counter his burst. If you see him ulting hug a wall and prepare you tunnel, as soon as you see him jumping at you, use the tunnel. You ARE most likely get a some damage from his Q but usually not more.
If he goes through the tunnel too, just Q him into the wall. He usually shouldn't have four stacks already, so he can't cancel the stun.”
CryAwake says “straight forward his passive and ultimate is denied by your steadfast presence make sure to wait for his actual jump before casting it. ”
Her0mars says “probably not going to be a problem, heck you can invade this guy early because of his terrible first clear. When teamfights roll around just peel this guy with E and R. Sometimes it may get to the point where carry death is inevetable, in which case just try to kill him after. He is a cheese champion but sees play at high elo, even challenger level for his ability to instagib.”
Hamstertamer says “Stick with your team, go invisible when you see his ult indicator and counter-initiate. If he jumps anyone else than you focus him down. ”
Chromuro says “There are a couple of problems with him: first, he can make use of the brushes you create; sure, when the rengar is in your team is a good thing, but since brushes are a great tool to control enemy vision, you have to be extra careful placing them. Second, he can stick to you and he's an assassin, if he catches you while clearing jungle you have little possibilities to survive. Vision is important, keep your brushes warded and stick to your carries, your shield can deny a lot of his damage.”
4by3 says “Very snowbally matchup for both sides, if you have a lead you can destroy him easily. If he gets an early lead he will destroy you, and much easily too. You can outplay him if he's bad, but his power to avoid you from going in is not fun. If he is diving you with R, you can cancel his entire combo if you're sitting on a box. ”
batiabatyus says “Just clear his raptors and krugs at the early game for bonus exp. No chance that he is gonna be stronger than you, even in late game. Take all scuttle crabs. (Even Q+smite, if he is near)”
SupahotFairy says “Will very often try to counter jungle you, which can be very annoying, especially if your team is falling behind and losing lanes so that you can't counter jungle him back.
However, Vi outscales Rengar fast. As long as Rengar doesn't get too far ahead early, you will be able to take over in mid-game.”
Jadiac5 says “Yes he is the ONE the ONE you will ban EVERY match, his ultimate completely counters your passive, and if he is in a bush and sees you you will be having that grey screen before you can even see him. Rengar is only killable if you are HARD fed and on lanes when you can charm him.”
ASV1994 says “Now this "little cat" can burst the sh*t out of you in early game, banning him is also a good choice, but in case you end up vsing him avoid fighting him 1 v 1 ward bushes and powerfarm until you get Titanic Hydra and you finish your Smite Bloodrazor. ”
FesteringJester says “Yes, you can win against Rengar with WW, although, this will be another skill based match-up. MIND THE BUSHES. We are still tanky but that doesnt matter to him. ”
Fiskarn21 says “Rengar can be a major threat. He feeds on your bushes. It's not fun playing vs a Rengar... But if you don't use your bushes, he cannot get to you.”
itskimjesus says “blue kayn can not, and i mean, can not 1v1 rengar, his w heals your full combo and from there you die. unless your extremely fed and he is not”
EvilOranges says “Skill matchup. You can burst the knife-cat down, but he can do the same to you. Stay away from bushes, and buy Sweeping Lens. If he combos you, R or E away. He is stronger early game.”
vanchovski2002 says “Here it is your rivalry.
If he isn't fed then you can kill him 1v1.
If he jumps on, use your ultimate to either run away or fight him
People say he counters your Ult but you counter his ult so hard...He can't even imagine ”
PandaSenpai101 says “Try to push and utilize the bushes accordingly. You can go in on the bush to make him not able to use it with most of his damage gone.”
SlasherGamer says “Like all other 1 shot champs: If he gets early kills, Hecarim loses because of his low base tankyness causing him to get oneshotted. In this category are: KhaZix, Ekko, Qiyana, Nidalee, Rek Sai. Focus in early game can prevent a lot of bad games for sure.”
Bombabo says “Rengar will stomp you. He will most likely counterjungle you, where he will easily kill you. His ult reveals you even through demon shade, and he can repeatedly force you to ult just to survive. Even with your stealth, he will see you before you see him as long as he is in a bush. ”
Killerbacca10 says “He cant burst you. I recommend to counter gank him for free kills. However if he gets fed your screwed. Build anti burst if he snowballs. He can snowball the game well. Abuse your objective pressure.”
HAMMERSLAYER says “A jungler that will mostly farm until lvl 6 and then he will try to snowball during mid game, so try to get in front of him during early game while also trying to outfarm him.”
Jungle Kings Rage says “Can 1 Shot You With Ease. Just Build My On Hit With Titanic And Gage Build And You Will Demolish him. Extreme Threat If You Dont Though.”
xMalcho says “He will kill you level 2 don't fight him.Try to ward his jungle because his early clear is not that good.You can kill him if you catch him doing raptors or wolves.And if you will fight him to death ignite the moment you auto him once because he will w if you don't and fuck your ass.”
MrParias says “This guy farms until 6 and then kills teammates.Outfarm him , ward both sides of jungle as he will try to invade or counter jungle and keep an eye on his movements.”
FrozenKnight says “This goddamn cat will be unstoppable if he gets ahead. WARD. I can't stress enough that if you don't you will end up dying because you didn't see him. ”
Weebslayer says “If you end up fighting a Rengar
1) WHY DIDNT YOU BAN RENGAR YOU FOOL!!!
2) FOR the love of Satan dont place your w down if you think he is anywhere near by”
bluejaypig says “The new rengar is pretty busted, just don't fight him before 6 and you will still do fine. But he has gotten a lot more damage with his rework. ”
ExValentine0 says “Rengar can pop you instantly. If you don't hit him with a tornado while he's coming at you stealthed, then you'll just die horribly in under a second. If their Rengar is really good, rush health and armor items immediately.”
BigBadVoodo says “Another 50-50 matchup. Very hard playing from behind as he becomes unkillable. Try and pressure early and play around boxes a lot. His R is also a big counter as he can see us when we are in Q. Try using R to dodge his first auto attack from R to minimize dmg taken.”
WiskeyANDGin says “try to w when he leaps, predict it, if u do that u will get him easly, if not,still go all in on him, he wont be able to kill , only if he is really ahead of you”
xTheUnlimited says “Rengar will powerspike in mid game. Dont fight him there, and, I dont think you can ever 1v1 him, because his damage output might be too high. Try to keep him away from your carries since these are characters he wants to hunt down. Try to CC him right after he jumps. His empowered W is a hard counter to your CC though, so watch out for his stacks. ”
Court says “If Rengar pounces on Evelynn out of no where early game, she will probably die. Zhonyas will be key to staying alive against a Rengar, especially if Evelynn isn't doing well against him. His self-cleanse will make it difficult to get a kill on him. ”
MrPeach301 says “Just be careful about his one-shotting late game, and if he jumps on you just alpha dodge it or meditate if its early game (level 6 -11)”
Eznar says “Dont fight till evolved/invade his Blue since normally they make full clear Red side and in low elo nobody knows what a ward is anyways his mobility in the jgl is what makes him relativly strong
”
craY13 says “Same as for Kha'Zix. He can snowball very hard. If you manage to keep him small and don´t let him snowball as good as possible you can face him in 1vs.1.”
LePlay says “Typical assassin: Low life, high burst damage, vulnerable to stuns and slows. Try to block his R and his auto attack leap with your W and smack him against the nearest terrain with your E”
kkiskk says “Place a ward in the bush so he can't kite you. Unless you go full tank, you'll outdamage him in early and mid game. If he can't build his item faster than you, he has no damage to you. Watch out for he's 4 ferocity W that remove CC when you duel him, use ignite before he use his W. Get a pink ward post-6 so he can't escape / jumps on your unaware teammates.”
MaRtOOOOOOOOOOO says “He can block your R with his inpowered W. Rengar will mosly farm till he hits 6. He cant gank mid pre 6 so if the enemy midlaner is pushing he is a free gank. You should watch for lane ganks/counter ganks top or bot from him. If you don't have a hard winning lane pre 6 you will have to counter his ganks if not he will snowball our of control.”
Optimal Pancake says “Not as strong as Kha'Zix but will be a threat if allowed to farm and invade. Ward up and wait for your form change before you fight him he outdamages you and everyone else early.”
ElementressX says “Rengar is super dangerous. When fighting him ask for help from other lanes he has more damage than you. Ward heavily and counter gank.”
Violzandre says “Booring, trying to oneshot you, if you can survive her first attack with his R (and that's easy with your R in the right moment), you can force him to a endurance battle that you with you'r lifesteal and mediocre defensive stats, will win.”
Predated01 says “Dumps on you 1v1 early due to his passive and can snowball a lead easily if the Rengar is skilled. Try not to int him early he's one of the few champs you beat the later the game goes on.”
LordTamaki says “He can be pretty annoying if he gets a lead on you, but if you land a w on him or have items yourself he can be taken down. His empowered w acts as a cleanse so watch his ferocity meter.”
Corvux says “Do to the fact that this champion can make use of your brush benefits: Unseen Predator: Grants attacks made in brush bonus attack range and the ability to leap at his target. ”
SpicySkelleton says “Do not let rengar stack their dark harvest if hes got it, counter jungle while building thornmail and sun cape to counter him. And while you fight him don't be afraid to ask for help, the more behind you put him the more you can benefit your team while hes out.”
Loul_60 says “Rengar is not as bad as Kha'Zix, no where near. He cannot gank very well pre-6, even then only with his ultimate. His AoE clear isn't great so look for invasions. He can still 1v1 you though in the early game so be very wary of that, especially if he gets to leap out of a bush onto you.”
L3gislacerator says “Ward up and never underestimate his damage. Be quick with your stun when he jumps on your team. As an assasin, he kills squishy targets quickly, but with the armor bonus and shield that a teammate gets from Bastion, you can protect against him.”
Hunterlogic says “With his buffs he is more of a threat. He can 1 shot you before you can press R. If he fails to 1 shot you it turns around and you win. Build a Randuins if he becomes a problem.”
RAT 4 says “rito decided to give him even more bonus damage from dark harvest so u can just get oneshoted if u are below 50% health even in early nice one! ”
Exhiled says “The new rengar is pretty busted, just don't fight him before 6 and you will still do fine. But he has gotten a lot more damage with his rework.
”
Damosus says “If he gets ahead just farm up. Try to avoid fighting him because you dont win, especially pre 6. Meditate when he ults/jumps and you should beat him. ”
Yi Guide says “He will easily kill you in the early parts of the game. After level 6 you begin to have a chance at winning trades against him. If he's any good, he will try to camp your jungle and 100-0 you over and over... ward as much as you can and play safe. Try to avoid fighting him near bushes and dodge his (E) Bola Strike. Some armor and health can go a long way.”

Tips Against Rengar in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
X_TRM says “(Start E/W) He can infinitely harass you by hopping from the bushes. Try to stun him in the minion wave with your E and use your W very sparingly. He will out damage and out sustain you even if you play corectly.”
WhendZ says “Eu prefiro jogar de grasp e jogar debaixo da torre. você mata ele, mas ele te mata bem mas fácil. pega determinação se você tá jogando de First Strike.”
LegacyOneTap says “Just your simple lane bully, run ignite, lethal tempo. trinity force, bork, blow him up for playing rengar top. honestly people who play rengar top suck. manipulate the wave towards you early levels still respect his damage til you are two items although one item is decent enough just don't let him be able to kill you by bait counterstrike with his run into ult just walk away to tower or maybe chase if you think you can. be there before him in the first bush if possible also watch out for random 5 man top side if it happens. if you catch him in first bush fight him and stay on him, just be aware that bush mechanics are stupid in league so even if he is in the same bush as you and leaves it he can jump on you while in that same bush so thank riot for that one. you hard win after item or two. play it smart and you should be able to make him miserable after 10 minutes.”
JPGamer10BR says “Bom, fique sempre na torre, espere a wave chegar em você, recomendo você fazer uma build um pouco mais resistente, pois ele te dará Ik, o E dele te revela, então não conte com a sua passiva, a mesma coisa serve para a ultimate dele, ela também te revela, então tenha cuidado para não tomar um dive quando estiver com pouca vida.”
Denied20 says “You can out duel him right away. It is fine if he jumps you from bush, you got your passive shield. Do not fight inside bushes as he can continuously jump.
Let him jump out and trade. Repeat. He will lose.”
Crossing Calvin says “Dodge if you see this matchup
Conquer or phase rush if you wanna suffer.
Short trades won't work since he has alot of sustian from fleet/grasp. Burst trades won't really work because he heals everything back from double W. Knocking him away doesn't really works because he has a bush next to him. You can breath more when laning phase is over.”
BurritoTopKing says “very easy, pull him out of the bush if you can and trade from there, just be careful not to die the first 3 levels and it should be easy, tabis rush good.”
WarwicksSimp says “Meow.
Warwick player needs to play smart in this matchup and understand how rengar top works to understand how to play against it. A good option is taking over his bushes, make them your bushes. they are YOURS now. Other option is let him engage on you and take trades with him with PtA or Grasp procs and you'll usually go even, you're stronger at lower health than he is so you end up winning even trades.”
xskyswitch says “Take ignite since grievous wounds reduces his W healing. Look to freeze wave on your side of the lane. Pre 6 he is a free gank for your jungler. If he gets an early lead he WILL spiral out of control however, so play smart.”
Chaddouk says “Rengar thrives when there are bushes available, meaning he doesn't like to be under turret, whether it's your turret or his turret. So if you're able to perma push him, do it (shouldn't happen early levels tho unless he pulls hard and you don't. Be careful after 6 he can easily gank mid but also just roam bot and gank from lane. A good way for rengar to win a fight vs Trynd is by kiting him so consider galeforce if the games allows you to build it. You win side later (if you don't get kited, cuz if they're fed they can jump on you make you burn ult and then tempo it to finish you just like zed, akali etc...). Ghost isn't enough to stick on him under R also.”
daitolol says “-Really hard matchup from 1-6 levels try to stay away from Bushesh and give up as much cs as you can to keep your hp only go for XP, his E is a true sight so your shroud is mostly useless if he gets on top of you
- You can go obvilion as his W healing is quite strong
-Go for long trades only when you are planning to continue with an all in(r)
”
_WhiteSnow_ says “can cancel his leap and can rush bramble/executioners to guarantee positive trades. if rengar ever uses normal w, you can look to zone him off the wave with a knockup combo for the next 10 or so seconds. Rinse and repeat until kill range. You do enough damage to dive rengar with knockup and r through double w with antiheal.”
Smudey says “[Starting Item: DRing/Cloth 4pot]
[Build: PTA/Fleet + Riftmaker/Liandry's]
If there is one matchup where I always try to go for a lvl 1 cheese, it's this one. For that I go PTA with DRing and stand inside the furthest bush. Rengar always plays around bushes and if he steps into you, you can get a lot of damage or even a kill on him since he doesn't have all of his abilities and can't leap onto you if you both stand inside the same bush. If you manage to bully him out of the bush and the first wave, you automatically win the early lane. Slow push into him and recall to get an item advantage. After that, depending on how good the Rengar is, your lead might not be relevant again since he has access to bushes again, but your item advantage can help you against all-ins if he gets cocky. If you are too scared of him, go Fleet and buy a Cloth Armor + 4pot and farm all lane since you won't be able to challenge him without dying.”
RipAMC says “The hunter is relentless and can burst you down before you know it. He loves jumping out of bushes and catching you off guard. Ward up, stay with your team, and don't give him a chance to pounce!”
Antecc says “Don't fight level 1. Give up the cs on level 1 and even xp if needed.
Don't fight if he has empowered ability ready (he won't Q, he'll most likely W or even E)
Some form of armor is heavily recommended. You can only fight if he's not in a bush and doesn't have an empowered ability ready. You outscale.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “ALWAYS IGNITE. If you are good you will be able to predict most of his jumps and blow the barrel before he defuses it and then the matchup gets a lot easier but i assume you wont or at least not frequently. Against rengar you have 2 options that depends on how much experienced you are and what are jglers doing, hard push and harass him under the tower or try to freeze next to your tower. If you let the wave meet near the bushes he wins pretty much every trade as he can double W your entire burst. If he didnt use empowered Q/E, dont throw everything at once and wait about 1,5sec between spells IF POSSIBLE, as his double W heals him for more than 100%hp (with revitalize) of the damage he recently took. His aa range from the bush is suprisingly large and if you didnt play a lot of rengar before it might be unintuitive. Very snowbally and hard for inexperienced players matchup”
ToplaneProfessor says “[Grasp] [demolish] bone plating] [ overgrowth] + [magical footware] [approach velocity]
items : start dorans shield-> bramble -> heartsteel -> demonic
we want to play safe levels 1-5 and even give cs so he doesnt just on us from bushes once we have ult and bami or bramble we want to be pushing the wave so we knock him back to his tower so he cant use bushes.!! very important he is not a champion when we push him away from bushes !!”
lordimboutabust says “Annoying lane. Avoid fighting near bushes and if he ever wastes his empowered abilities on the wave try and all in him before he can get to a bush. Always be careful as he can have an insane amount of healing | Bone plating | Dblade - tank mythic”
TTVXiralid says “Very hard lane that forces u to play on his terms. Max Q and buy alot of armor. I would personally maybe dodge this if team comp is bad ”
St0rmyss says “Go lethal tempo with POM and resolve secondary with bone plating, start dblade. Cheese him in the third brush near his tower. Try to pull the wave near the river, and don't use your E early.”
Twogrand says “HOLY MOLY THIS MATCH UP IS AIDS. You have to wait till you see him W twice before trading. That's the best way to win the lane but good rengars don't do that often. Basically, you have to play passive and avoid inting early. The lane goes into your favor as long as you don't die early, should be able to outscale from mythic + beyond. conq ignite, goredrinker build path”
Althalosofsirun says “he will perma kite you with grasp or fleet and out sustain one of the few matchups where you will need fleet footwork and need to R him under tower buy bramble to slow the sustain and take dorans shield ”
Smauggy says “in top lane it depends but a good rengar can jump on u, burst you down, cleans your ult and slows or ground you.
Just go tank and help your other lanes ”
Black Demon Ezel says “He's squishy but just as deadly. No way to stop him from jumping out of bushes endlessly to delete your health bar. Not to mention he can deal crap tons of damage and it's straight up stupid. ”
ARealFakeIdentity says “You are basically not able to contest him in bushes, but you can attempt to stop him entering bushes in the first place, yet this is still a very difficult matchup.”
SesaPrime says “Rengar steps in a brush and just sits there.....until you step in range for him to pounce every time. Camille cannot match Rengar if he has good positioning for control of the brushes to freely pounce every opportunity he has.
He breaks out of CC's & has empowered damage/effects to his abilities & can heal back the HP he lost in any trade. While you do outscale him, he has the tools to prevent you from reaching that prime status....”
primate nefasto says “A good rengar never let you win a lane, no matter what you do. You can cancel his jump with your R but it´s not gonna help. Have fun!”
Tonho says “His W makes him tank your one combo. Very hard lane phase, avoid getting poked from his passive. After lane phase, you should not have that much trouble unless he builds Sunderer.”
ElectroBlueGuy says “Annoying, Early he's gonna camp the bush and deny poke and CS, then when he gets R it's a matter of outrunning him or getting oneshotted.
Have fun!”
stefanko says “Don't use your e too early, he can kite it easily, look to pull wave towards river level 1, so he can't use bushes as easily, try to ignite his w. His trade pattern will be to w after you burst and stun him, so look to go for short trade with ur w, and once he used his w you can all in him as he wont be able to heal the big chunk of your damage. Another think to pay attention to when you all in is, you wanna try to fight when he doesnt have minions to jump to, cause again, the only way he wins all in is if you waste your e too early, or if he cant kite your e.(lethal tempo, ignite)”
Ulamog says “Grasp Build; Second Wind + D Shield.
Grasp proc him every time he jumps out of the bush, then heal back up from Second Wind + D Shield.
Once he is low enough and jumps onto you you can just Q+W to chase him down. You want to follow him into the bush so he cannot jump on you all the time.
Parrying his empowered E works ofc. ”
lorensj81 says “This is a farm lane, never walk close to bushes in lane, he can jump much further than you think. Get him to push you in and just farm this lane. Some early armor is very good in this matchup. As long as you don't let him snowball it's an easy matchup later.”
Pep_Shin says “Cheesy shit, don't get fooled lvl 1 and outpower him once lvl 3 for the rest of the game.
If you get killed early he will snowball and you mostly won't be able to contest it.”
Puyi says “Annoying but not hard. You can Q-AA when he jumps from the bush, and you can negate his E with W or dodge it with your E. Get early steelcaps.”
Irelius says “He hard wins early levels, but you really take over the matchup after first or second back. Position yourself outside his jump radius. Bone plating is crucial. W his engages.
”
JustSad42 says “This is a pretty decent matchup. You can contest level 1 Rengar in the bushes and you’ll win it as long as you go for the all-in and you haven’t given him the chance to stack his fury. Don’t get early Grievous Wounds versus Rengar. You will always be able to beat him at any stage in the game. At level 2, you can just Q-W into Rengar and run him down the lane. After level 3, hold your W for either Rengar’s empowered Q or for after Rengar uses empowered W. After level 6, you have to look for All-ins on Rengar, so make sure you have enough space to chase him, because if you don’t manage to kill him, he’ll use his R to run away then reengage once his cooldowns are back up.”
Azekar says “Conqueror+Bone Plating.
Start Doran Ring or Doran Blade.
Ghost+Teleport or Ignite+Teleport
Hi Dekar. Stay away from your minions so that Rengar doesn't have the range of his passive. You win every fight with him. (If he playing Lethal Tempo, watch out for lvl 1, you have no chance.) ”
TheHellKing says “Nothing much to do except cry. Take comet to poke him down and avoid being jump on. Stay near bushes and you are dead. Buy some armor early.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Summoner Spell: Ignite]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Survive his early game and buy some Armor Items]
[Ask for ganks if you struggle]
[Buy Bramble Vest]”
TwTvRANGERZX says “Difficult earlygame, but you outscale. If he jumps in too far with no ferocity available, you can look for an all in. Avoid overall trading in early as its very favored to him.”
Antisocial_Renekton says “Dodge or pray to every possible god that hes bad.
Stand away from bushes, if you think you can kill him - you cant, dont get jebaited.
Dblade start, conq, rush tabi.”
AdventurousBoldJourney says “When he jumps out of the bush to CS or jump on you, E stun this guy for thinking of touching you, and punch him to death as he hobbles back to his bush.”
Smudey says “He wins early since he sits in the bushes and takes mostly one-sided trades. At lvl 3 you can block his Qs with your W. Try to trade with him by only using 1-2 empowered Qs and back off. Don't trade if he has stacks, only if he has like 0 or 1 stacks.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “very hard matchup if rengar is good as he is very tanky and has decent damage. He can auto your barrels from the bush and his jumps are so fast that you cant really react, you can predict it but you wont be able to do it constantly. The counter for that might be placing double barrels next to each other but due to yours E long cd its not possible too often. Dont get baited by his low hp bar, as even if you win the trade he can outplay you easily. buy tabis asap, if he wont get an early kill it shouldnt be that hard but its not hard for him either to get it.”
TwTv EUWXYZ says “since rengar can play defensive first tree and ignite he can play alot arround bushes & lane prio, he wins short and long trades due to his W”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “At level 1, Rengar may try to cheese you to get an early health lead. You can reduce his all-in potential by waiting for him to show before walking forward. Keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map so Rengar cannot jump out of the bushes and trade with you. Furthermore, stick towards the bottom side of the lane at all times to make it harder for him to jump on you. Once Rengar hits level 6 and unlocks his Ultimate Thrill of the Hunt(R), he may look for the all-in. Alternatively, if he is unable to kill you, he may push the wave and try to roam with his Ultimate. If he leaves lane post 6, make sure you ping that he’s gone to reduce the chances of him getting a successful Ultimate off.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Rengar will try to power farm early so he can get his Thrill of the Hunt(R) and start ganking more effectively. Try to delay this power spike by invading him and stealing away his camps. Try to place vision inside Rengars jungle so you know where he is at all times. If you spot him on the top side (pre-level 6), try to invade the bottom side jungle and take his camps. Alternatively, you can gank the bottom lane. It isn’t uncommon for Rengar to repeatedly gank a lane over and over again. If he has just ganked your lane, expect him to return shortly afterwards.”
BreadyToCrumble says “A cheese pick that usually only OTPs play, but it's still quite difficult to beat. Try your best to get him to push the wave and stay under your tower so he can't use the bushes. If you fight in lane he will basically always win, although you do outscale.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “At level 1, Rengar may try to cheese you to get an early health lead. You can reduce his all-in potential by waiting for him to show before walking forward.

pura4 says “"[Cometa, escudo de doran, Q > E] - Lane bem irritante, jogue bem longe dos arbustos, ele pode matar você bem fácil, se ele pular em você jogue seu combo e tente correr, ideal jogar na sua torre, com gank é fácil matar o rengar após lvl 6 "”
Kandrashun says “With good reaction speed, you can ult and prevent his one shot, and then kill him in your ult. At all costs avoid fighting him near bushes after early game. Early and mid game you destory him, but he can still one shot you with his ult”

Coach Myga says “This match up is very hard. You want to be very wary of brushes, especially before going to fights. Try to stick to walking around the map via lanes & keeping good track of Rengar. You can try and counter gank him early, but I don't recommend fighting him in river etc for crabs. I strongly recommend an on-hit build versus him instead of the critical strike build. On-hit builds offer more options for defensive items which will help versus Rengar. If he can't kill you in one rotation in the midgame it's very easy to turn the game & get the W. ”
Thrandor says “Can be annoying if he plays well. Usually, a Rengar will jump out of bushes on minions and then return. My advice is to follow him and fight him in there- but keep track of his passive stacks. Also he might jump away once you activate E so be sure to follow him with Q.”

CosmicTurtle88 says “Rengar OTPs are annoying but they hate you as much as you hate them, just don't get absolutely chunked 1-3 and baited into too much bush chasing. Treat his Ferocity W like GP, try
and eat him if he's holding it so he has to cleanse it and then Q him to slow so he can't disengage. If you don't take bad trades 1-3 against Ferocity Q you should outscale his damage
quickly ”
Alachiel says “Even if he is jungle and not toplane, his ult can reveal you while you are invisible.
A zhonia would be highly recommanded, and don't try to get behind enemy team until he ulted.”
Nino_euw says “plated steelcaps, and if it's too hard to handle the damage you can sit on extra cloth armor that you can build into death dance later on.”
Zorroh says “Rengar matchup can be a pain due to his ability to burst Mini Gnar for insane damage meanwhile mitigating a ton on your end with his W. Rengar loses pretty hard to Mega Gnar so make sure you're looking for opportunities to go in when you have your form up. The best way to trade with him in Mega is to do a full rotation and then back off (unless he's low enough to kill obviously) because he will probably start winning the trade as he gets lower from Conqueror/Last Stand/his W/etc. Make sure to avoid bushes whenever in mini form, the first few times you play this matchup his range my surprise you. Its good to crash the wave into his tower if possible because he won't have any bushes to utilize then when he's shoved into his turret, but most of the time you will likely want to be under your turret last hitting minions with Q. ”
Taiquyorah says “Sauf si broken à cause d'un buff !
L'early est délicat, laissez vous push. Mais une fois quelques items BRUISERS, vous pouvez survivre et lui mettre sa raclé.
Tout comme Jax, il faut préparer un barril loin des bush pour être prêt à lui mettre un combo.
Le stuff bruisers peut le neutraliser en pur 1v1, donc fortement conseillé ! Ignite nécessaire pour ce MU.
Skill MU avec un léger avantage à Rengar.”
Yiphen says “Theory: Start Doran's Shield and go for Plated Steelcaps. You can't do damage if he E + Unleashed E's you from bush. It also cleanses your slow so you can't fully proc it. Try to poke him down, but back away if you can't. Freeze wave in front of tower. Do not dance.”
7EyesNoSkills says “Early game is a big problem, he will always jump near bushes. If you play near to his tower, you can beat him, but you have to avoid ganks. In late game, you will have few armor, shieldbow and exhaust. So he can't kill you, because he is a burst, but you are a DPS.”
WildSamu says “DBlade + Red Pot.
not a very common pick, but a very bad matchuop for Yone.
His damage is pretty crazy and he will permajump on you.
Drop farm, play safe, early armor is good.
Try not to die on cooldown.
Only chance you have is your jungler punishing his push and positioning.”
VituVonDoom says “Dodge, cheese pick that makes every lane hell. I can't even help with this one, never played because I dodge all of them. Still, stay away from bushes, go Conq page, I guess? And enjoy your suffering!”
Michcio says “If he is good he can outplay you most of the times. He can buy ward, recall and take oracle and he will win every fight early on so if he does this tactic avoid fighting for first 5mins ”
Aberrant Demon says “Respect his early burst. Stay as far away from the brushes as you can early and just let him push. Post-3 you can combo him every time he jumps out of a brush while you have W up. Keep the trades very short, if possible, to avoid letting him jump again. After Stridebreaker, you can stat check him.”
NegativePhoenix says “If you can avoid being near brush you should handle later fights against him. Early game just be careful about him as he should beat you if he's around brush. Later in the game as long as he isn't super far ahead of everyone, he shouldn't be able to burst you down and you should win the fights on him.”
Potent213 says “Runes:
Conq or Grasp
Goal in lane:
Sort of survive, get your 1st and 2nd item, then you can beat him, before that his healing is too strong, Trinity rush is not bad here.
Wave 1-4:
Don't contest prio too hard, Rengar has a strong early, if he gives it up sure, otherwise just back off.
Tips:
This matchup changes depending on the Rengar's runes.
If he has grasp and ignite, you want to play for scaling as he is too powerful in lane, give up cs wait for whip and level 6 and u can all in him.
Look to parry his EMP Q or E for the stun.
Care when he is near bushes with stacked fury as he can get a lot of dmg off.
Tabis are amazing in this MU after your first item.
You want to play the lane pretty passively, just poke and farm, he has WAY too much sustain now.”
Scallywag says “Niche top pick.
Try to pop your barrels when he jumps onto them and you should win most trades.
If you die early this lane becomes unplayable for you.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Rengar is squishy and weak into offensive builds like mine. There's only one thing to do, rend them. Simply let him get on top of you and maybe tank a Q or two but you can mark him so mist walkers eat him alive and absolutely shred him”
queen_rane says “[Ignite + Flash] You might think Rengar counters Mordekaiser because Rengar can escape Morde's R with his empowered W, but if you take ignite and start doran's ring you can win an all in at level 3. Just play super safe early and stand really far from the bushes so he can't jump on you. Once you hit level 3 you can have him jump on you, get your passive, sit on him, press W if you get low, and pull him back when he tries to get into the bush - he should die. This does not work though if you have doran's shield or if you don't have ignite.”
SilverAvalanche says “Outscale: You don't want your jungler to gank you in this matchup, Rengar can easily 1v2 for a double kill, and ending the game there and then. What you wanna do is play like a little baby and respect his jump range. If he jumps on to you then just E him, but don't E back to him or you are dead meat. The only thing I can tell you is that you should try and freeze and spam Qs at him when he walks up to break the freeze. If he freezes then you have to call your jungler since Rengar will never let you walk up. You should go fleet footwork with inspiration secondary for a free stopwatch and biscuit delivery for the health. get Zhonya's second and build Chemtank.”
LoucasTitan says “If you are new just play safe and dont get to close in to the bushes, If you know that Rengar is going to leap on you try to cage yourself and try to kite him”
gazibulle says “Skill matchup, favoured for him in laning phase, BUT if played very well you can deny him. You hard outscale him. Early levels you absolutely want to get away from bushes as he wins lvl 1 on extended trades. Go behind your caster minions, close to a wall, and if he ever jumps on you lvl 1 you can start Q, Q-AA-Q and you will always win it with shield up, as long as you don't overextend. Then you basically stand next to walls all laning phase, and if he ever jumps on you, you can E his jump and will ruin his ambitions. If you succeed, you win the trade. Be careful of Rengar's early power, especially with his insane W healing. W him when he just used his empowered W so he can't sustain it back up. Don't miss your hookshot ever, don't make him dodge it for free with bushes. If you play Ignite or have anti-heal, you can try taking advantage on bushes once you are a bit ahead: a Rengar without bushes to play with is a goose without a beak. Once you have Sheen and Ignite / anti-heal, you can't lose unless he is very ahead. Especially at 6, you can brute force him down as long as you hit your E by locking him in the slave cage, his ult won't save him. With items Rengar means nothing to Camille, if you deny his snowball his game is basically over.”
lolkayleee says “[Ignite + Flash]

This does not work though if you have doran's shield or if you don't have ignite. ”
Federals1 says “Rengar is annoying for the first levels, especially level 1. He has a very strong level 1 and you have to respect it. Try to just e from range and get any cs you can without taking too much damage. You will start beating him once you get some item components. Safe options are Bramble Vest and Plates Steelcaps. Bone Plating is also a great rune. His double w will ensure he comes out on top of most trades so just try not to trade into it by just stunning him and walking away. You can max q and just use it as a disengage whenever he jumps on you, or you can max w and try to see if you can fight him straight up. Warden's Mail rush into Bramble Vest works very well, or you can skip Warden's Mail and go for Iceborn Gauntlet. Once you get the slow from that item and he jumps on you, you should be able to always stick to him and win the brawl, even with a q max. Doran's ring and Blade both work well into him, but if you're afraid of getting hard chunked Doran's Shield also works. Flash+Ignite are the preffered summoner spell choices. Both q and w maxes work. First rune page should be used.”
PandoraPanda14 says “Stay away from the bushes and u can cancel his jump with ur e. Dont underestimate his heals and try to get him to jump on u in ur wave. Minions hurt alot!!”
Nekoparry says “///////////////////////////ENGLISH//////////////////////////
Pretty hard matchup if he is good, try to parry his empowered Q or E so you stun her, buy steelcaps and whip and then you should start winning, you can just play for late game also. Antihealing really helps too”
Fan22 says “Getting early tabis or armor items is very important against Renagr, as it nullifies a large portion of his damage.
Early on make really short trades against him and try to not push the wave, so when it goes to your tower you can farm safely.
Also be very wary of bushes since Rengar top is all aabout going in and out of bushes and harrasshing with an empowered Ability (Generally Q).
Garen's wq is very important in this matchups since it denegates a large portion of Rengar's burst.
Post-6 with ignite if he missplays or is low hp you can kill him, though most rengars will just drop R and run away, so try to calculate your damage to onetap him before he gets to even Ult.”
MHLoppy says “JUMP FROM BUSH.
I'm guessing if it comes to it you can hold your own in a sustained fight, the problem is that he'll just keep hopping in and out of bushes while harassing you a little as well, and there's no easy way to deal with that as Olaf other than to either commit fully or back off a little out of his range.”
Jellyjaneo says “I absolutely HATE the idea of someone being able to jump around like a spider. This cat is the worst laner to lane with just because of that one attack. Can bully you severely early and can cause a huge cs gap and lvl diff.”
Cryniu says “Juega neutral y hacia atrás, especialmente por los arbustos.
Trata de contraatacarlo. Recuerda que por lo general él salta hacia ti.
Prioriza objetos como Botas de armadura, vesta espinosa y vida.
Ojo cuando uses tu E, si tiene sus cargas se quitará su provocación con su W.
Te sugiero usar tenacidad en runas por si te atrapa con su E.
Trata de seguirlo con tu R si él rota con la suya.”
Kocykek says “Be careful of first levels. Grab Bramble Vest as fast as possible. You can W his leap and outtrade him. After Bramble Vest he doesn't really do damage.
”
Helzky says “Rengar does a lot of damage early, however if you land E and W you can kill him relatively easily. If he roams you push towers, if not, you kill him while he's in lane. Make sure you ward bushes and once you hit Level 6, you can leverage your lead.”
OliveeGarden says “Off meta lane that doesn't work out for rengar, let him shove you in or more ideally shove him in. as long as he's not near a bush he cant do anything. do care his damage when leaping though as he can do your health in. take grasp”
magician4444 says “He's your worst nightmare. Just constant jumping on top of you which Lillia hates. If you manage to catch him out in the open you can kill him no problem. Or you can just perma shove him if he lets you so he can't get into the bushes and poke with Q and E as he tries to CS. Watch out for the jungler though,”
ChowJunior says “I recommend going E level 1 and Q level 2. Level 1 and 2 are the hardest parts of this lane. Once you hit 3, he won't win. He'll try to abuse you from the bushes, and when he does, it's an easy predict. Bait him into jumping onto you and set up your E on top of you for an easy lockdown. ”
Xarmat says “Place a trap under your feed and wards in the bush. Trap the entry point of the brush where he wants to jump out. If the farms a minion, punish him.”
Your Desired Username says “Rengar is an easy match-up but you have to take ignite and rush steelcaps. After that he won't really be able to kill you plus not heal with his W. He will usually keep his fury to get an empowered W after you ult him so he can cleanse it. If he does this just don't ult him, you win the fight without ult because he isn't using his fury. The second he uses his max fury, ult him. This should be obvious but try not to fight around bushes because this will allow him to jump around and maybe dodge some of your abilities. He is pretty easy to kill in Brazil as long as you have anti-heal.”
boboderaffe says “In my experience, he jumps on you and dies past 6. He doesn’t have any tools to get away once he jumps in so make sure he can’t 100-0 you. Get seeker’s into steel caps if necessary - as long as you survive his burst he’s a dead kitty. ”
AlexFL7000 says “Rengar is an extremely annoying top-laner. Your Q does virtually nothing against him, and he will one-shot you during all of the game. Don't get too close to the bushes, or you will die. Try to poke him out of lane if you can avoid being near the bushes. Recommended Items: Zhonya's Hourglass, Plated Steelcaps”
Rayli36 says “buy chain vest as first item(not counting starting items) and then he'll probably ignore you but if he doesn't you can do short trades with him
AD-dmg”
BreadedBreadCrum says “His JumpAA-E-Q-W combo is blocked by your E and your Q stops him from going back in his stinky bush. Build Bramble for armor and sustain block. Take Grasp or HoB to punish or sustain. Go Frostfire to slow him, BoRK or Stridebreaker.”
Shinox says “Ban if you are jungle. He will just kill you at any point of the game because he's just stronger than you. He will invade you and kill you while you are clearing camps. TLDR: You are dead, so ban him.”
LunaticDancer says “Cheese lane. Gambler viable, D Shield. If you hit an E at him while he's in the bush, you win the all in, just stand on top of him and catch him with the W. He will regain a lot of health with his W, but after that he's a total sitting duck.”
N0kk__ says “Dog vs Cat. The cat can go in and jump out of bushes. Dog can farm and "TRY" to run away. Rengar Is annoying not only because of the bushes, but because he can his roar to cleanse your wither. He does his combos extremly fast and he can also stun you. Stay under tower, freeze the lane and farm. When 1-2 level avoid going out of your tower zone or you will either lose 50-70% of your health or you will die. Luckily you won't see Rengar Top that often.”
COJA says “Rengar top is a pain to play vs.
Give up any dangerous farm until you reach lvl 3-4, then you can begin to consider trading. He can beat you in short trades and all ins if you miss a single Q. ”
Turkthunder says “I believe Rengar is easy to maneuver or outplay against but once again isn't necessarily easy rather of semi-difficulty. As long as you know how to not completely get stomped early through the middle state of the game I believe you shall be fine.”
Black Demon Ezel says “I don't generally find Rengar a threat, but I've never beaten him while going meta Mordekaiser. He builds pure lethality in case it's not known to you. And that alone makes him dangerous as FRICK! But keep slapping him with Q when you can actually see him or know where he is and you flatten him”
Aizac says “Not sure exactly, I've never had a bad experience but I'm also in pisslow. Statistically, he holds the highest gold advantage on Viego at 15 minutes into the game.”
Prof Harambe says “Absolutely horrendous. You need to farm under tower the entire game and you will never be able to step up. Usually will dominate lane so much that you won't outvalue him. I would ban him very game, but no one plays him since he is quite bad when he doesn't have an ivern.
Pretty self-explanitory why you would lose this.”
ToothlessKnight says “This matchup can be very hard vs a good player who mains Rengar. You win most all ins if you manage to land your E on him. Rush an Executioners to counter his healing from W. Only look to trade if your E is up and be careful of him getting a double Q off on you. His empowered W is a cleanse and counters your Ult as well. Ping whens he's missing and has ult. This is a matchup you learn to fight with experience. ”
xPetu says “Tips: Your W blocks his Q-AAs and his R-AA. Try to block his R-AA because it reduces your (or your allies) armor if you don't W it. Don't E him when he has full ferocity, he can just Empowered W to cleanse it and heal the damage.”
Stinkee says “If it's Rengar top lane, he will be jumping in and out of bushes nonstop. He's going to jump to low health minions to last hit them. Just aim your Q over your low health minions while he's in the bush, so he'll either miss the minion(s) or get hit by your Q for a lot of damage and CC. Your E is pretty effective against him as well, slowing him down enough to not let him get back in the bush right away. If he builds assassin, he shouldn't be able to oneshot you. If he goes tank or bruiser he'll be more of a threat. When he ults away, it's not worth trying to chase him, you won't catch him unless you have a teammate on him. If you can consistently Q him at the right times and time or shield correctly you should be able to win this matchup fairly easily. He's pretty hard to kill though so don't greed for kills, just farm up and you'll be fine.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Rengar will win pretty much every fight in the jungle, and you will never be able to contend with him in any regard when it comes to a 1v1 in the jungle. You will lose all attempts to take something from him including scuttle crab, because of bushes. If you get invaded, just give it up.”
Anoying bro5 says “Do not fight him lvl 1, sit back and let him jump around. You want to parry his empowered Q and dont be afraid to chase him down afterwards to punish him. When he ults, parry as soon as he lands on you. You should win if you ult right after to finish the job.”
BoilTheOil says “You can fight him level 1, but don't even try to fight him when he has 3-4 ferocity stacks. There isn't much of a point in fighting him until you buy a bramble vest because he heals off all the damage you do with his double W, after you have bramble you win. He will probably try to roam after level 6 so make sure you ping your teammates if he's missing. Try to group with your team out of lane because he will probably try to pick off isolated targets.”
Phrxshn says “Opt to build tank against Rengar, Rengar has a lot of burst damage potential if he is near the brush. Use Mega Adhesive to prevent Unseen Predator(Passive). (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps, Rylai's Scepter) (Sustained 1v1 Battles: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Singed) (Mega Adhesive prevents Unseen Predator) (Fling can override Unseen Predator)”
quinn adc says “Play the lane away from bushes. Ideally, shove him under tower or let him shove so he can't bush cheese you.
He wins if the lane is neutralized.
If he is in bush, E his Q leap, and then when he walks back to the bush, Q him before he enters so that he can't get the second leap off.
This combo is essential to take good trades against him, so only walk near the bush with your E up.
If you go even in this lane it is a big win for you because you outscale him if he isnt crazy fed.
If rengar cant one shot you post 6, you hard win the fight.
Thats why i like bone plating and plated steelcaps in this matchup.”
Raen says “Try to push fast lane don't let him control bushes cuz he will outdamage you so hard. His W is denying your stun and healing him back from all your dmg you dealt to him. Fast rush tabi and and Sheen for kill potential. Your E block his Q. Anitheal really good vs him. Put wards in bushes to counter him. Get Deathdance to mitigate his huge dmg.”
Xerath gaming says “Shouldn't be too hard to beat since if he jumps and you press E he will be so deep in the lane that you can kill him most likely. Your R is free lane, if you feed him early you will get oneshot, but not many people play him top”
MagicallyDelish4 says “You have to respect his passive level 1 or else you're going to lose your health bar. Its hard to level one all in him with doran blade. If his W is down then you can all in him after level 6. Freeze wave and ping for your jungler ”
laoshin3v3 says “Grasp
Try to parry his empowered Q or his empowered E and don't fight him near minions if you stand in bush since he will jump through the whole lane all the time like the autist he is”
LoLReal says “Rengar relies on cheese to lane. Darius is a hard counter to him because Rengar cannot take short trades to burst us down, we just pull him back in and trade better.
Easy lane. Beware of level 1 though.”
A_Drunk_Carry says “You won't see it much, but this matchup REALLY sucks. Top lane is full of bushes, which Rengar will hide in while you try to farm and pounce on you. He can use his roar to cleanse your wither. He can stun and combo you quickly. The best you can do is hide under turret and try to not stay too far behind. Don't risk walking up for CS @ lvl 1&2 or you'll lose half your HP bar. The win % in this matchup in Plat+ is abysmal for Nasus, for good reason.”
Phrxshn says “Opt to build tank against Rengar, Rengar has a lot of burst damage potential if he is near the brush. (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Battles: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Malphite) ”
Phrxshn says “Opt to build tank against Rengar, Rengar has a lot of burst damage potential if he is near the brush. Use Primal Howl or Infinite Duress to prevent Unseen Predator(Passive). (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Battles: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Warwick) (Jaws of the Beast can follow Unseen Predator)”
PanthrickTV says “Easy Matchup.
Care about the bushes!
Play really agressive and punish him as much you can!
Spam your Q's at lane and try to all in at lvl 2 or 3.”
Sporkintahn says “Kitty in Top? Rare but it happens. Don't take early fights when he has his Ferocity stacked. Don't let him take short trades against you. You want to punish him for coming into melee range so extend the trades to where you can out damage him; don't let him just abuse brush against you either. --- This lane is pretty easy; you can often times just run him down with Ghost.”
OTP Toxin says “This is a fun lane to play. Always be in the low parte of the lane, away from the bushes, he will be going there and jumping for the minions, the trick is: Pay atenttion to the health of YOUR minions, so you can know where he will jump, then you punish him in every jump he does. After 6, plant 1 mushroom in easch of the tri-bush and you will make him cry. :D”
SilverAvalanche says “Free farm lane, he has to push the wave to keep up his stacks.
just respect his jump distance and place ward in the bush closest to you.
when he goes for a minion Q into him and gain orbs that way.
Very boring yet dangerous lane. if he decides to freeze you are pretty much out of the game so spam ping your jungler for help and keep your freeze like your life depends on it, because it does. Also take Exhaust instead of Ignite and stay very healthy.”
Drake6401 says “Avoid bushes and respect his early game. Keep an eye on Rengar's secondary bar. When 3/4 and 4/4, he's dangerous. If he missed combat long enough, he loses his stacks and that's when you trade him. Rengar's W is the main thing that makes him hard. He counters burst fighters... That's you.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - EASY LANE. DON’T TAKE STUPID FIGHTS AT LEVEL 1/2 WHEN HE HAS FEROCITY STACKS. DON’T LET HIM WALK AWAY FROM TRADES. FREE AFTER LEVEL 3. STEELCAPS IF LOSING.
A Rengar matchup depends on how good the Rengar is. Joe Schmoe who builds lethality every game is going to be free food compared to a Dekar but generally speaking, Darius is one of Rengar top’s biggest counters. All you have to do is to make sure he does not cheese you level 1. Just stand outside of his jump range from bushes. If you don’t know the range, just hop into practice tool on Rengar. Level 1, it is best to give up unless you catch him outside a brush. And even then, Rengar wins hard, especially if he has ignite. Respect his 4 stacks.
Once you hit level 3, the lane should be over. If the Rengar keeps playing aggressively and does not adjust his playstyle, he is free food. The second he goes in for a minion, Q-AA-W, pop ghost and then just mess him up. Try to dodge his E root and be mindful of where the Rengar can jump in order to stop him from outplaying you. If he does a W+Empowered W, just E him back. There is no hope for a Rengar to win this lane. What most GOOD Rengars will do is go for W max and essentially beat you out by attrition because a W+W leads to them taking zero damage and you taking more damage than him. Rengar’s tactic would be to utilize his W to cancel your slows and heal back up the damage you deal to him as a way of poking you down. Just don’t let him walk away for free. Land your Es. Phase Rush works but I prefer Conqueror to help me punch through his healing. One last thing is to keep in mind that he is deceptively tanky. If you ult him and it DOES NOT kill him, he will just heal back ALL of the damage if he has his w up. Get Antiheal if his W healing is a problem.”
RivalOCE says “Beware of Rengar's level 1-3, respect him and let him push the wave into your tower. Stand at your river side of the lane and trade on him when he jumps a creep, but don't overtrade, just Q, auto, W and E away to reset the trade. You can all-in at level 6 because his ult isn't really a combat ult, whereas yours is. Healing cut isn't a bad idea because some Rengars max W for sustain. Try not to fight when he has full ferocity.”
The Rock Titan says “"[Comet, Doran's Shield, Q > W] - Rengar top... is pretty annoying but if you play safe, you can't lose.
- It's somewhat hard to kill him with his sustain but same goes for him. E and W him once he jumps in to trade
- Whenever possible, try to drag the wave towards river, he's much easier to handle if he can't jump from the bushes to farm
- After 6, You might be able to all in him when you have your ult. His ult is pretty useless in lane. Most likely used to run away.
- He can outplay you around those top bushes, and his heal is ridiculous... Gives him the respect he deserves.
- Rengar top players are usually very confident, they want to bully you at the time. This is why he's very prone to ganks. If you have a high damage jungler, he's dead most of the time.
- His empowered W cleanses him, I try to ult him right after he uses it."”
Rhoku says “A good Rengar is such an annoying matchup. You win all ins but he can outplay you so hard. First off, give up level 1. He WILL murder you with his empowered Q. Don't even walk up to the lane. If he goes full damage, you blow him up but if he goes W max, you will just not have a good time into him. He can empowered W your ultimate away and just escape with his own ultimate. He will go in, hit you a little bit and then W+W out, healing back all of the damage that he dealt to you. If you can, just pick Darius into him as you hard counter him. But otherwise, just try to make sure he has to overextend from his bushes. Grab minion aggro and make sure they crash a bit far from the bushes so he has a long way to walk when he gets to his bush. Also, NEVER ult him when he has 4 stacks. Ult him AFTER he uses his empowered W ideally or at the very least, after he uses his empowered ability and is at 0 stacks.”
maxlid3 says “Keep your distance from brushes. Most of the time you won't be able to autoattack him since he is hiding in the brushes and if you come to close he will just jump onto you. If you W him, he will have enough time to go back into a bush and jump right back onto you. Try to let him push and farm under tower since he won't have any brushes there.”
YasTilt says “Really dangerous Character to play against. Ward bushes the best you can. Try to have constant vision on him. Take Anti-Heal to reduce his W's Heal. Try to Freeze the Lane away from the Bushes.”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “(Bone Plating+Armor+DBlade) You can try to predict his jump from a bush and contest your minion with E. But he can root and full combo you if you don't land E. You are way stronger in midgame than Rengar and the lane isn't really rough at all, just farm him out.”
PK Noob says “Rengar can easily burst you just as easy as you can burst him. Try not to face check bushes and play around your team against Rengar so that when he jumps out you can all-in him.”
jmp_01_ says “Take Conqueror. You can fight him level 1, but don't even bother fighting him when has 3-4 ferocity stacks. There is no point in fighting him until you buy Bramble Vest because he will just heal with his empowered W. He will try to roam after level 6 so make sure you'll be able to follow up with TP.”
Psychopathic Top says “Impossible matchup. There is almost no chance Nasus can even walk up in lane. Try to force him to shove the first two waves, and stand far away from the three bushes in the toplane (even if that means losing xp). He will be up a huge amount of cs and gold once it gets to mid game (if he plays well), and there really is no counterplay to stop it. Make sure to not get solo killed, that’s about it. Teamfights would most of the time go his way, as you will be too behind to do anything. However, if your team stalls over 20 minutes, Nasus scales into 2-3 items and at that stage of the game, Nasus can make a comeback and turn the tides.”
Alan234 says “Go the standard PTA build.
Rengar just heals your dmg with w and denies poke by sitting in his bushes. Play towards the river and just farm. Try to either push waves to force him out of his bush or freeze it in front of his tower so that he struggles farming. WIthout the jungler you should win all ins with ignite. Main problem is not dying to ganks and not overstepping into him in lane due to his bush range. Concede a few cs and you will be fine, but its difficult to play.”
TXK_ says “A rare but possible match-up. Keep your distance from the bushed by positioning yourself close to river. Either freeze the wave outside your turret and next to his as without bushes, Rengar has no mobility. His empowered W will cancel your R so avoid ulting this target.”
aurus666lol says “He will jump a lot and deal big damage. And of course he has annoying all-taken-damage - Heal on W. Rush Exe and try to not play near bush and ur minions. I guess you wont win that lane, so call jungler to help you or its just gg”
JaxIsAHobo says “Depending on the rank(yet again), this can be an extremely easy or somewhat challenging matchup. You cannot leash your jungler in this lane, because you have to run immediately to top lane and into the bushes to get a major advantage in this lane. Stay in the bushes and deny him his leaps for free ferocity stacks. You outtrade him easily in the early->late game, provided you aren't idiotic and let him auto you over and over again from a bush. The only threat you face is if the rengar has a jungle duo, and constantly invades you. I highly recommend taking ignite into this matchup over TP, and building vamp scepter + ruby crystal into BotRK. This is a fairly easy lane if the enemy rengar isn't basically Scrubnoob or Dakar. Honestly, if I didn't get shit on recently in a custom by Dakar 's rengar top, I wouldn't even put him as a minor for difficulty.
If you somehow lose this lane, build plated steelcaps and get sunderer. Please don't lose this lane below masters. It's sad.”
Warwick de Crocs says “Press - Lâmina - Flash + TP / Muito cuidado nos 2 primeiros níveis,principalmente se ele tiver de Ignite, tenta morder e dar hits nele quando ele pular pra farmar, rushe colete espinhos e cabou.”
Vandenelis says “use q under yourself when he is about to jump on you from a bush. In this way you can guarantee to cc him. if you don't trade constantly you just out sustain him in the lane.”
DarkyTheReal says “Don't fight until level 3,don't even try to farm because he will jump to you and one shot ya. Just wait level 3 and put the wave frozen on your tower, and you'll be fine. Level 6 if you have Executioner's calling you're fine to all-in.”
SettVEVO says “Cheese picks are only good if they get ahead. Rengar is no different. Don't go damage against this dude, rush steelcaps and watch him cry. Don't go near the bush and try to set up slow pushes to keep him under turret where he is useless. Keep his ferocity stacks in check so you don't go in for a bad trade. You aren't on a timer he is. He will get bored if he doesn't kill you so he will roam. Tell your team and win lane by literally not dying, you can kill him if he gets bored enough. Mid to Late you can ult him if he has enough damage to kill your adc.”
Death Lyons says “Digusting. Most rengar top players are really good at rengar, so just play hyper safe and try to kill early but don't get into melee range.”
RTO says “Avoid the bushes and trading pre 6. After 6, you will wreck him. Do not let him snowball. He has a lot of kill pressure pre 6. His cooldowns are also much shorter than yours.”
wff010 says “If he has ignite, he'll win level 1. If not, walk up to the lane bush and cheese him with w because you just do more damage. Buy a control ward and he won't be able to control the urge to int onto it when he sees and just keep punishing him for trying to walk up.”
LoLReal says “He can cheese us early levels but loses hard post 6. Just survive the early lane and you'll have no problem killing him off cooldown with R. Build tabi.”
Marwaii says “Rush anti-heal, kills mini Gnar and can avoid mega Gnar. Do not give him an early lead and outscale him. Make sure to keep an eye on the map for his ulti roams.
Take Trinity + Plated.”
Breadcrumbs says “Never understimate how far Rengar can jump out from a bush. In this matchup, you wanna seek to catch him out if he gets far away from the brush. You can 4 stack, Q to a minion near him and go for the all in.”
SethPRG says “Don't fight this guy Level 1, he just wants to cheese you, so kindly deny him. But I mean, if he doesn't have ignite you can win Level 1 if you sit in a bush waiting for him and learn W. I remember forcing a high elo Rengar one-trick Level 1 to flash by doing this and they all chatted right after "WTF why didn't I beat you lv 1?" Past Level 6 you auto-win because his ult is useless when compared to yours in a 1v1. He still might be able to get away from CC with his built in cleanse or ult invis though. Rengar will become a threat if he roams and gets kills on your team, or you let him get free plates. Pushing into his tower makes it so he can't bush cheese you, that's the best strategy to fight him past level 6, just stack a wave VS him that will slow push towards him then never let him walk up. Be careful of JG ganks, but in all honesty, you can probably win a 2v1. Just rush Bramble Vest and Plated Steelcaps, and first item Trinity Force since he's squishy. Go Death's Dance 2nd item if the enemy has another AD, or 3rd item if he is the only AD. ”
SpartanDumpster says “Rengar can be very annoying because he can practically jump on you whenever without any consequences. I'd say the best course of action would be to hang back and poke him until your jungler can come gank.”
majororange77 says “Full info in Guide.
Very hard to cancel his jump with E, since he's invisibly. Try to avoid giving him passive stacks or he will snowball.”
Kaizin says “In this matchup he'll look to stack his passive and abuse his ferocity empowered Q damage early. Try to pull the wave away from the bushes before they crash. Build bramble vest early to stop him healing through your damage with his W. At level 3 you can take short trades quite easily by timing your E on top of an allied minion about to die.”
I am so chill says “You cant do anything about this guy.Ask for ganks and stay away from bushes.Go safe build like ninja tabi bramble vest etc.dont seek trades with him but when he jumps to a minion try to punish him.”
JeanMichelBambi says “Rengar has decent burst but you can mostly negate it all using your W, you can pull him out of his bushes and most of the time win trades/fights with him at any stage of the game.”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “Rengar has very strong damage early game and can cheese kill you lvl 1-2 if you dont play carefully. Stay away from the bushes and look to soak exp and get farm whenever you can but let him push towards you so you can farm under turret. Stack up your passive under tower and look for fights when it pushes back, you will generally win if you have 5 stacks and land your E, be careful when fighting him in the bushes though, only commmit if you are already winning before he goes there. Easier post 6 since you can just ult him and all in, his ult isn't very helpful other than running away in a direct 1v1.”
tibs2 says “Bramble rush. Rengar does a LOT of damage early levels. Do not try to contest him early at all. Stay far away from lane bushes. Once you complete bramble and some armor items then you can look to w him and trade with q autos. Late game Poppy W really ruins Rengar's day as he cannot r and jump onto your backline as you can simply w him. ”
Noodles912 says “Rare matchup, but can come out of nowhere. If so, stay away from bushes and outscale him. If you time your W, you can prevent his R from hitting and reducing your armor. Easy lane if played right.”
teemodumbstupid says “Early game, he will utilize the bushes to jump at you whenever he can. It is unplayable early game, but once you get Sheen and Lucidity Boots, you will win easily. He is only a major threat because he can snowball easily with his early game.”
Oskarl3 says “although it seems like it is a bad matchup early, just try to predict when he will jump on you and counter it with your E into Q. Your W will give you plenty of survivability.”
SanLourdes says “Rengar can cleanse your ult. Do not ult him unless you know he has already used an empowered ability and it isn't near being fully stacked. He can also heal a large chunk of damage that you deal to him with his E, so keep that in mind. Keep this guy away from the bushes and you will be fine, even if you have to use your E to pull him away from one, it will be worth it. Build regular items.”
negoZoma69 says “You may just dodge against Rengar. He isn't banworthy because he's not a popular pick, but he can kill you easily at every point of laning phase. I recommend going grasp in this matchup and playing as safe as possible, it's worse than akali and irelia.”
SleeplessX says “Stay away from bushes and let him push to your turret, you can easily tap Q when he last hits minions from the bush since you know where he'll be jumping. He likes to roam post 6”
Dorom says “Rengar is super broken. If you're in a match against Rengar as Gangplank, rush Shieldbow and Plated Steelcaps. I am not kidding when I say this matchup is almost unwinnable for you. You have to sit on barrels but he can jump on them so you have to be aware 24/7, super annoying.”
OctavePlayer says “If you play safe and smart, he isn't a threat until he get his r, which counter your shroud. As soon he hit level 6, don't engage unless you have vision on his position”
ChaseMorePlz says “Stay away from the top brushes at level 1-2, he can easily burst (and root) for an easy kill. Play safe so it's not easy for him to latch onto you from constant jumps. You will most likely see multiple champions in your lane attempting to abuse you early on. (so dont let them! :) ”
Pawn Sacrifice says “So few players play Rengar top... it must be a "mono" one, but it shouldn't be a problem for you to face Rengar... you really want him to jump into you, so it's impossible to miss your E... and then he's dead.”
Reformed Ravi says “you should win after 6 just wait for him to cs a minion out of a bush and fuck him up. remember he is an assasin so you should win prolonged trades if done right. be careful of his ignite”
Erenando says “Do not get killed by him with lvl 1. Else your game is over. Take distance from bushes and get yourself Frozen Heart asap such as ninja tabis. You will dominate him in mid - late game.”
GrGamingTeo says “Respect his lv2 lane harassment because he can jump either on a minion to last hit and hide backin a bush or jump on you to fight you and run away. Once you reach lv3 the lane is now yours. Once he jumps on you, you can AA, W and if he continues to fight you or if he tries to run away you canthen use your E and Q, ghost and he is dead. Plated Steelcaps and Bramble Vest are nice options to counter his healing.”
Olaf Only says “Rengar is really strong before lvl 6.
Position yourself close to the river so that he cannot leap to you ever.
Most importantly, NEVER push the wave.”
SpyDaFX says “stay away from bushes, his damage and healing is insanely broken when he jumps out of them. play safe level 1. this lane is all about staying away from bushes. because if you're not close to them he's pretty easy to kill. go Conqueror”
Ravenborne says “Do not die until Level 3, then it is a free Lane. He will probably roam for kills though. There is not enough damage on him to kill you. Just do not let him get free Q jumps onto you.”
TheMrDarkness says “Let him push lv1, you cant outdmg him pre 3, so just let him push, after you hit lv3 toy can cancel his jump by your W, if he's trying to Q you, use your E, ward bushes, and if you need take steelcaps”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Can be flung mid-leap for some wacky interactions. Generally speaking an easy kill if he ganks you so long as he doesn't land either his E or empowered E. Can be baited into jumping from the closest top lane bush into you flinging him under tower range. Laning against Rengar you should avoid those top brushes and hard shove the lane if he's not too oppressive. A Rengar under tower is much nicer than one with access to bushes.”
Razorwir3 says “play very save and stay away from bushes or he will kill u quite easy
it can be hard to get cs in this matchup so u may want to practise it before trying to play against him”
kingchas2 says “Play on the bottom part of the lane and keep a deep ward to watch for ganks. As long as you know his jump range you are pretty safe and he won't have much of an ability to kill you. Use your R as he is jumping on you from his R and he won't have any kill pressure for awhile. ”
ModelitoTime says “Stay away from bushes and you win this matchup lol. Farm right on the opening of the river, if he jumps on you just land your E on him and you win the trade, you outscale tremendously ”
ChevalierArlo says “EVITE os matos no level 1, farme com o E ou distante dos matos, compre pinks constantemente e só use o W quando ele estiver voltando pro mato, nunca dentro dele.”
Deathwizard778 says “Annoying early game but you will destroy him with this build just be carful early game he can get you killed easily with his slow and invisible attacks.”
Raideru says “Very hard matchup before 6, just try to farm until you get tabi / sheen until then you really don't win trades unless he fucks up really hard. U can also build executioners instead of sheen because it builds into the new chempunk item.”
LeSocair says “Really, really hard matchup. I guess all you can do here is stay away from bushes and get xp/try to Q farm and not let him kill you. The only advantage is that Rengar isn't picked a lot in the TopLane. He isn't popular enough for you to waste a ban on him.”
EU_Toxicity says “Don't get cheesed by his empowered Q levels 1 and 2. Level 3 onwards you take over as the big threat in this lane. If he jumps at you/trades with you without full ferocity and ignite, simply auto W and keep hitting him until he uses his W cleanse and hook him back in right after. If you didn't get cheesed early he has no way of winning vs you.”
Timesoul977 says “You are good if your laning against him. But if he is jungle respect his level six and don't over extend. (Watch for bushes, your stun is good against him)”
byThiagus says “Matchup gratis para darius, primer pagina de runas y se puede usar ignite, no mueras en nivel 1,2 despues ganas free, extende las peleas. Rushear vesta espinosa tabis Si estas behind. mientras mas pasa el tiempo mas facil le ganas”
Stijnzxz says “I mean i dont see Rengar top often but he just use the bushes to fuck u up but u can deal some good dmg to him so ur kinda ok just build some armor and BORK.”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Early game small trades -> Respect him -> Space properly -> Do not stay close to the bushes -> Once we get a few items we can let him jump on the cs and take a trade -> Do not look for trades when he has 3/4 stacks -> Exhaust is good here -> Do not ult him when he has 4 stacks because of W. You will ult for basically nothing -> W or dodge his E”
Saarlichenbog says “Rengar is a serious laning threat and can keep up with Kalista's pressure. Like Pantheon, it's more or less his roam potential which really sets him up for success, something which Kalista can't keep up with which is why as long as he doesn't get too far ahead early then Kalista should be able to naturally outscale him by 3 items. Playing away from the bushes in laning phase as a way to make his main gimmick his passive useless in lane.”
Nicklstherealone says “He cant engage you since he needs bushes. Firstly you can just push his lane and on the other hand if he jumps on you in any situation you can E towards him to cancel it. ”
Frostyfps says “Rengar has very strong damage early game and can cheese kill you lvl 1-2 if you dont play carefully. Stay away from the bushes and look to soak exp and get farm whenever you can but let him push towards you so you can farm under turret. Stack up your passive under tower and look for fights when it pushes back, you will generally win if you have 5 stacks and land your E, be careful when fighting him in the bushes though, only commmit if you are already winning before he goes there. Easier post 6 since you can just ult him and all in, his ult isn't very helpful other than running away in a direct 1v1.”
Defensivity1 says “Before level 6 treat him like darius, but also avoid being within his Leap range from bushes.
At level 6 if you bought tabi and some other combat stats, (Damage/HP/Attackspeed/Armor) you will beat him with the maiden.”
TangoVallhala says “I take two paths in this matchup I try to shove him up so he cant use bushes or let him shove me so I can safely farm. If you shove him he cant do much, but you can be ganked easily. If you let him shove you, understand his passive range, play around it, if you him see go in a bush try to predict what he will do, at 6 you can kill him easily, always try to get full combos on him when extends out from a bush.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “FLEET FOOTWORK SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Rengar top is a real nightmare and can outdamage almost every single melee champ early on but usually Rengar players when they go toplane they don't go for a full Lethality one shot build, they go for a Black Cleaver and more Tanky build. In this lane he will beat you really but really hard if you try to get near minions, so look to stay as far away possible from the brushes. Usually Rengar will build Tiamat to add more damage to his combo and help his wave clear, so wave will almost always be on your side of the lane. You must survive early on to the game, if you give him free kills for trying to get some Q stacks early on, Its already a lost lane and really hard to comeback since he can oneshot you. I've seen couple of them going BORK so be carefull when they have it completed, it deals a lot of damage with Rengar. Similar to Pantheon or Quinn, if he can't get a lead in lane against Nasus, he will look to use his R, so make sure you ping your teamates whenever he is missing from lane to prevent him from getting kills. Later on to the game, you will outscale him if you played laning phase properly and you should look to teamfight in lanes rather than jungle so you stop him from using the bushes, If you fight in jungle, he has more chances of being more usefull and oneshotting your squishy allies. Don't be upset if you are 40+ minions behind him early on, it's the nature of this matchup.”
SubHuman Filth says “this is a very hard matchup.
Play towards river so he cant jump onto you. You should outscale him, so just be patient and play passive.
Go grasp or phase rush.
and get seekers armguard.”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash or Ghost+Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Stay away from the brush early on! You need to keep out of rengar's leap range in the early game. Rengar top will naturally push towards you because he will try to stack up his passive to put pressure on you. Don't trade with him levels 1-3 he is just straight up stronger! Once you are level 4 as long as you have kept your health pool high you can look for trades against rengar, however he wins short trades so preferably you want to look for an allin on him when he jumps on you. Save your W against rengar until he has used his empowered ability if you are looking to allin because his empowered W can remove crowd control (including your slow.) You outscale Rengar in the 1v1 in the splitpush in the mid-late game, just be careful when he ults for you that you press R on time. One tip for pressing R on time against Rengar is positioning your character when he is ulting towards you in a spot where you can see where he is jumping from. If you are standing next to a brush, or a wall that he can hop over you wont see him until he is right on top of you, but if you are in an open area you will have about a .5 second window to press R if his items can one shot you.”
Nabura says “One of the hardest top lane matchups, however, no one plays him top. not much to say other than REALLY respecting bushes and reacting fast enough to R when he jumps on you with his R. Just be careful that he doesn't walk into melee range of you to bait you into panic ulting.”
EntxRecoil says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash or Ghost+Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Stay away from the brush early on!

Sub Runes: CDR, Damage, Armor or Damage, 2x Armor
Summoners: TP, Ignite, Exhaust
You don't see much Rengar Top anymore other than Korea however, he occasionally comes up so he is included. He does some insane amounts of damage early as he is an assassin + a jungler. Your best bet in this matchup is to fight in the bush if you do decide to engage. But, if you are just sitting back, farming and he jumps on you, EQ to tank the damage and stun him at the same time. Make sure you buy control wards for deep river so you can use your regular wards on lane brush. ”
Darrkescru says “Runas : Grasp , Eletrocutar
Tenta puxar a lane ao maximo e mantenha distancia dos matos rusha armor ou vida pra não tomar ik pra ele
Rushar : Liandry's , Tabi”
ZergDood says “He didn't expect you to pick Poppy. If he hides on a bush, be ready to W. If he ults you, be ready to W. He has a skillshot that slows you, try avoiding it, but it won't mean doom if it hits. Build tanky, you can easily poke him down with your Q and passive. Respect his damage before first back. When in teamfights, he won't be able to do a lot when you're around. Protect your team from him in teamfights, you nullify him. Your W stops his dash. This is an ideal matchup for Poppy, stop him from reaching your teammates, you'll succeed.”
qazx1427 says “This is a pretty funny lane, watching him constantly jump out bushes. It's like playing peekaboo with a baby, but the baby is you, and you have a shovel. If he gets his combo off onyou, you're not going to have any fun, but it's a free kill if you can land your W. A rare lane, but definitely a fun one. Bring control wards.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “You can go cloth 4 here if the enemy jungler is AD, there is no need to fight him lvl 1, just try to auto him when he jumps out of the brush to farm and dont go for any dumb lvl 1 brush allins.
His ult is useless 1v1 so at 6 you automatically win.
You eventually want bramble vest.
Take armor.”
Mrobby says “EUNE Rengar special, I haven't seen a Rengar pop off and usually they just feed if they are playing jungle, I dodge 100 per cent of the time when this champ is picked by my jungler unless they are smurfing. If you want to beat him just dont get cheesed by his absurd early game and hope that whoever is playing him doesn't have a clue what they are doing (which is most of the time).”
wallobear53 says “Avoid the lane brushes early on as abusing them is the main way that Rengar gets a lead in this lane. You may want to place a ward in the nearest brush and farm from the opposite side of the lane when possible.
If you have any form of point and click CC, use it on him as soon as he uses the brush to jump on you. He most probably won’t have his empowered W if he tries to all-in you with an empty resource bar, so do your best to displace him away from the brush and to your tower.
Once Rengar hits level six, he will try to roam with his Ultimate and secure kills in the other lanes. Let your laners know as soon as he leaves the lane and make sure you have a Control Ward somewhere around your lane to detect where he is going.

Doktora says “Rengar is bad boy if he play on top it willbe verry hard on you,but if you trap him in your W to make a little combo 2 times max 3 and he is dead. :) rengar is junmping and try to root to make he is combo on you.If you poke him and he have to use stacks for heal not for dmg,Then the lane is yours. :) ”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash or Ghost+Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Stay away from the brush early on! You need to keep out of rengar's leap range in the early game. Rengar top will naturally push towards you because he will try to stack up his passive to put pressure on you. Don't trade with him levels 1-3 he is just straight up stronger! Once you are level 4 as long as you have kept your health pool high you can look for trades against rengar, however he wins short trades so preferably you want to look for an allin on him when he jumps on you. Save your W against rengar until he has used his empowered ability if you are looking to allin because his empowered W can remove crowd control (including your slow.) You outscale Rengar in the 1v1 in the splitpush in the mid-late game, just be careful when he ults for you that you press R on time. One tip for pressing R on time against Rengar is positioning your character when he is ulting towards you in a spot where you can see where he is jumping from. If you are standing next to a brush, or a wall that he can hop over you wont see him until he is right on top of you, but if you are in an open area you will have about a .5 second window to press R if his items can one shot you.”
Gnarcisist says “A skillful Rengar will out damage you and his empowered W will negate your ult. Combine this with a smart JG and they will shut your lane down”
BloodyDream81 says “Match up assez simple, si tu veux t'assurer de le tuer facilement, empêche lui l'accès au bush un maximum, et quand il saute pour prendre un last hit, utilise ton E et ton fantôme pour la chasser sur la lane et le tuer ! Soit juste prudente les 2 premiers niveaux, où il peut éventuellement te tuer si il joue avec un embrasement !
Astuce : Les tabi ninja et de l'anti heal facilite grandement le match up ”
bakk0n says “A solid response to a Mordekaiser pick, whilst not that popular, Rengar's incredible burst damage and high mobility, not to mention hard CC and self peel makes him a strong pick against Mordekaiser. He is not an extreme threat, however, because of said burst. If he doesn't land all his skils and does not manage to insta-kill you, you can easily turn around on him with E+Q+AA+Passive(With Phase Rush) and deal a massive amount of damage. ”
WatchersGrim says “Rengar will ultimately tear through you in the jungle, be aware of your jungle and ward!!! Having vision on rengar is good and timing your ult against his will be in your favor.”
Kingarthur720 says “Hes a champion very much like katarina, feast or famine, he is either the 1v9 carry or he is the bait. you usually cant play far enough away from the bushes where he cant leap to you, the only thing i can say is use your normal wards as much as possible for when your jungler comes he cant jump to them like control wards unless he has oracle lens.”
VIP Titan says “Rengar is acutally a counter for olaf in top lane. With his great burst of double Q and sustains attack speeds
and his W can heal off half of your E damage.
Tips:
Stacks armor like you do for GP. Max E and wait for his bar goes down. Especially no W its the time to strike up
Max E not Q ! ”
Itreallyhim says “Skill matchup, If he jumps on you, Instantly shield, He can Empowered-W Your ult, so be wary of that, But try to remove him from your adc if they live, ult him ASAP.”
Asoreth says “Rengar is one of the easiest lanes against a Shen. Rengar jumps out of the bush? Just fight him and there's not much a Rengar can do when out of the bush and your W active. Whenever he jumps, you can proc your empowered Q and deal lots of damage. Rengar should never win this lane.”
ForgottenProject says “You lose Level 1, respect his damage and don’t try to trade
Parry one of his Qs to slow his AS and reduces his damage by a lot if you parry his empowered Q
When he has Ult, Parry as soon as he jumps on you
Against AD Rengar: You can burst him and win
Against Tank Rengar: He won’t have the damage to kill you, so you win anyways
In High Elo, kindly ask for ganks because Rengars are very hard to lane against”
Braddik says “Rush ninja tabi bramble vest and you can fight him. Otherwise there's literally no hope, stand on the opposite side of the wave and try to farm what you can. You'll outscale eventually.”
Trial_By_Barrel says “Difficult to kill and you can't poke him if he just sits in a bush. If he pounces on you, save oranges for his E and be sure to lay down wards so you always know where he is. Get control wards and keep them handy.”
Pedrokis says “No começo do jogo, antes das primeiras waves começar, fica longe das bushes do top, já que ele vai te dar bastante dano ao ficar pulando delas. / Se você conseguir pegar muita pressão e vantagem (provavelmente matando ele no começo do jogo por bobagem dele ou gank do seu jungler), compra muitas pinks e joga avançado. Você provavelmente vai tar forte o suficiente pra manter ele longe da bush (e não pular em você), evitar que ele farme e talvez conseguir fazer 1v2 contra o JG dele.”
BeautifulWinter says “Prior to level 6 is where he will be CONSTANTLY diving minions from the bushes. just don't even contest it. let him flip out and push his minions under his turret. If you have an E on him while he is invisible you can still see him.
Once you get 6 you can play agro HOWEVER you need to make it so you aren't too close to bushes when you don't have ult up.”
Big Belly Bop says “Careful near bushes. Rengar can easily one-shot you level 1+ so it's recommended to play VERY passive. You can poke him when he jumps out of bush but make sure you're not too close to it to where he can jump back on you. Flash + Barrier, Exhaust, TP, Doran's Shield + 1 HP, Survivability rune page.”
9690 says “He can cheese us early levels but loses hard post 6. Just survive the early lane and you'll have no problem killing him off cooldown with R. Build tabi.”
ENX Kai says “Troll pick top but can be scary with new alcoves. Good Maine Coon knows what they are doing. Put a lot of wards and try to ping when he's gone (RIP mid)”
Defensivity1 says “Extremely dangerous to lane against, i would recommand going conqueror however grasp is fine aswell because of the minor runes giving you a lot of armor and hp stacking, at level 6 with the maiden aggressively trade with him if ur not behind by then, before level 6 he can use the toplane brushes to jump on you with ignite for an easy kill, give up any cs you have to at level 6 you will outdamage him.”
Generally Break says “Stand on the bottom half of the lane. He has to leave the bushes to CS and you can punish him when he does. He can only punish you if you stand near the bushes, and you don't have to.”
Kiuseii says “For the same reason as Zed, Rengar can easily one shot you. If his ult is active, stay near an Ally and wait him to jump, then use your w and run. If he does not one shot you with ult, you can easily trade him and heal you with q”
Hamstertamer says “Annoying, but doesn't have enough burst to kill you, can't deal with armor, and can't deal with your ult. Freeze the lane near your tower, he won't have any bush around to go in. Bramble vest is a great item here, gives armor and cuts his sustain.”
Atlascrower says “Rengar dominates you the whole Game if you dont get help. Your Jungler needs to camp you early, or you´ll lose. Never last-hit with aa´s, just with Q and E, he can jump on you and kill you then.”
Jackson Gid says “Same as Kha'zix, he's not hard to deal with after you get your tiamat sheen. JUST STUN HIM, don't let him become a lion, keep him as a kitty, way more cute.”
Poppu says “Rengar top is pretty annoying, as long as you play safe and CS well, you can win lane and outscale him. He has stronger pre-6 due to Q auto resets and DPS.”
litboijustinx says “Rengar toplane isn't really seen much but he could 100-0 you very easily. The trick to winning this matchup is to ward your bushes and stay as far away from them as possible. This is because your range advantage makes it easy for you to poke him down but he could easily kill you if you allow him to jump onto you.”
messketchup says “ust keep youre Passive on him, and his Heal (W) Won't be much. Bring Ignite to make sure he doesnt heal and stack 5 passives for the "IGNITE" The ignite is just to make his heal (W) Useless. As soon as he goes into stealth E and Q. You might kill him.”
EvilOranges says “D-Shield. Holy Hell he is annoying. He negates your range advantage by jumping all over you. Now, zone him away from bushes AND minions. Post-6 he will roam. Watch out for his full combo as well.”
Prince Afghan says “Rengar can pose a potential threat in the level 1 and level 2 all in with ignite. Play cautiously in these first few levels and the rest of the lane shouldnt be much issue. If he can't kill you he will fall off in damage very quickly.”
FunkySoul says “Tryndamere attacks with Auto Attacks, and Rengar attacks with bushes. Those two don't go well together! Kill him with your ulti and don't let him get fed.”
TheNinjaRoid says “Stay away from bushes, and get armor. You win late if you can farm and don't fall behind. Can't stop you from farming too much outside of killing you.”
IceHunterOndrook says “Keep your distance even if it means losing half of your wave. Trap him under turret / kill him with your jungler and snowball him.”
exezidiot says “Be really careful on top if someone pick this little cat whatever lane
TOP/JG because he can jump from bushes and make your life imposible.”
Samas says “Majority of his damage comes from his Q, but dont activate your E unless he is planning to use his empowered Q since even if blocked will give him attack speed which will give him some potential for extended trades, without his empowered Q and your E the trades go about even, press him under the tower so he cant utilise the bushes and use his little range to harrass you, but dont get ganked and use you E aggressively when pushed up unless you can kill him!”
Saiyan02 says “Pre level 6 Rengar will most likely afk farm after level 6 he´ll try and look for some picks to gank. Ping your laners if you think he might go in. Other than that if he ain´t super fed he shouldnt be able to 1v1 what so ever because you are an fighter and he´s an assassin”
Trixelkour says “Can cleanse you of your E and leap around you to deny your damage. Get Gunblade into Righteous Glory to slow him down. Take Aftershock and land your E properly to do maximum damage. Ping missing immediately if not seen anywhere near you.”
heyitsRainex says “Rengar is a rather strong matchup. Avoid getting leaped on from the bush by staying far from the 3 bushes during laning phase. Before he reaches 4 stacks, poke him.”
Omega best says “You can see rengar top these days, so play safe build armor and dont get close to bushes if you dont know where he is just attack him at the right moment after he uses his stun and kill him, call for ganks if behind, but this should be easy ”
Mouadyam says “annoying but fairly easy, dont take shit from him jumping all over the place, just run him down if he gets careless with those, and be careful of his burst damage when his ferocity gauge is full.”
Ashnard says “Rengar toplane is pretty hard to deal with due to his passive bush jump and quick combos and sustain. He can't however do much if lane is shoved on either side and has no direct mobility aside from bush jumps. Passive helps a lot at winning trades with him since it reduces his w healing a lot.”
thedunkening111 says “Man, if this guy so much as jumps onto you at level six, put that cat down and make him ult in the other direction. It seems annoying, but the only way to beat the cat is to fight the cat, and guess what, you're going to beat the cat—literally, with a shield.
