i remember when sotd rengar first came out, not sure why it never got really popular but I saw a replay of doublelift getting 1 shot over and over and thought it was the most OP thing ever. Then I asked that dude what happened later and he said people started buying pink/oracles so it's not that bad. The vision changes probably have a lot to do with the perceived rengar opness now. But then again it's not that hard to buy pinks.

Honestly, while oracles lenses helps against Rengar, it's not all that big of a deal.

Vision range is 1200. You get the ! over your head that Rengar is coming at 1000 range. If you're not completely overextended in their jungle or something you probably know what direction he's coming from.

With his gapcloser and movespeed boost on his ult, having vision really only gives you an extra what, 0.2 seconds to react to it.

pinks being visible and the ability to put only 1 pink made rengar inhumanly strong in soloQ, where everyone caring for himself is the best you can expect. so no strategical pink warding from the team to cut him off, There is a reason though why we are not seeing Rengar all mighty in tournaments

You know we got a separate site for dota, right?

wtf... Sufficiency plz. I'm with M2, to a degree. Sometimes Riot definitely goes overboard with homogenizing balance. That's not to say Rengar doesn't need a nerf atm (I'm still undecided) but the balance they've done in the past like with Lee Sin. That's just the same boring shit. It's ok to have a champion that is gdlk early game but doesn't scale as well into late game. Not every champion needs the same scaling.

I'm not saying I agree with all of M2's examples (of letting everything stay like it is) but Riot's been doing the exact opposite and I feel it should be somewhere between the two.

The ! makes it so that it's harder for Rengar to go in when people are grouped (if they're intelligent) by virtue of making them get in range of each other and significantly improving their reaction time (both times there was a Rengar on the opposing team I was playing Orianna and Lulu so "!" meant "get ready to shield/ult the Kog at your side and stick to him"), but his ult is still an extremely reliable gapcloser between the leap, the stealth that also lets you flank unseen, and the MS boost after the stealth disappear (I'd be more scared of Rengar turning stealth off tbh because people pay less attention and suddenly 500+ dude jumps in your face).
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

Rengar is not very scary atm if your whole team is grouped together. He either gets burst and dies when he goes in, or he trades 1 for 1 and then your team fights a clean 4v4.

The problem is that he's so good at tracking down and killing a solo player that late game he forces your team to stay balled up all the time. The ADC can never go farm a side lane because Rengar can jump him even under a tower, and if Rengar gets to kill somebody and not die for it it can suddenly be the end of the entire game. Since none of his burst is tied to his ult he then gets to do a 5v4 teamfight with all of his damage.

Riot doesn't seem to be changing their balance and design philosophy so really if you looking for that then League of Legends isn't the game for you. Don't see Riot changing their methodology unless there're some major staff changes.

You could be with M2 (and I am to a degree), but Rengar is absolutely NOT the example to use, or the place to plant your flag in support of that kind of design. He might be the guy who one shots carries...right now. But he used to be the guy who did cheesy lvl 1 all ins, he also used to be the guy who was the original BS endless sustain manaless tanky guy, he also used to be infinite splitpush guy, and random AP ratio guy, and ganks can happen at any time guy.

Rengar is fundamentally broken in LOL because of his Ferocity system, Auto Reset, Unique Snowball mechanism, and Heal.

But, yea, Thresh can be Thresh, he just needs to have his stats gutted so he is actually afraid of poke from mage supports, and all-ins from Leona.

Why would Thresh be afraid of all-ins from Leona, when he can just use his E? Gutting his stats to 0 and he will still be able to do this.

He snowballs super hard, especially if you play the ryan choi 'track the adc" game.
He becomes hard to react to once he gets 2 of his trincket bonuses, the leap range and the mvmt speed. Before those the ! Gives ample time to start running but you need to react to it. When he gets his trincket upgrades he becomes super scary, you basically have to put your finger on your flash button when you see the ! and flash when je jumps/audio queue.
If he snowballs, stay grouped with someone scary, treat him like you d treat a fed evelynn, lure him to fight in the open, kitty very weak too teamfights, especially when there are no brushs around and he is inable to get the jump on you
Be nice, buy wards and don't feed double buff.

Exactly...he can do that, but doesn't have to, because he is tanky enough, and does enough damage (and shields) to only come out slightly behind in such trades. If Thresh doesn't flay the E he should get vaporized.

Was about to ask about top Rengar too. Guessing right now, all damage and in the jungle is the way to go now? No more endless split-pushing top with a Sunfire/SV max W now?

He got one kill at level 3 on their jungler and then one at level 4 on the solo laner I think.

Don't most assassins basically do the same thing with early kills? Rengar's early kill potential is pretty nuts and lets him snowball a lot easier than champions like Fizz or Akali and could probably use some tuning (along with the obvious issues of Ferocity) but I'd say that if your friend was on Fizz or Akali with 2 early kills like that he probably would have wrecked people in fights like just as well as Rengar could.

I think people are more annoyed that you probably won't see rengar coming than him being able to delete people.
