Tips Against Rengar in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Polarshift says “Try not to facecheck bushes without vision. If he manages to get the jump on you try to reduce the damage of his empowered Q and use the Last Stand keystone to heal more when you're low.”
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.”
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.”
Ir.Defender says “We can't deny his kit and assassin power, whilemean, just use your ult whenever he try leap on you and then E > Q And you can kill him.
if he is fed you may protect your carries.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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. ”
nZk01 says “he oiutscales you insanely hard but has mediocre clear and ganks pre 6, same for objective control so just try killing him in his jungle or counterganking pre 6.”
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.”
Polarshift says “Ninja Tabi's will make it impossible for him to oneshot you (if you're ahead or even).
Dash away/walk away from the bushes when he leaps on you (while kiting) and 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 so that you can easily outduel him with the extra armor you gained.
You should win lvl 2 fights if he walks into you without stacks, fight's without bushes, invades from him (since you have Grit stacks) and it should get a lot easier after you get your plated steelcaps.
Tip: Rengar's tend to fullclear from Red to Gromp or vice versa so if you have your Oracle Lense ready you might be able to get an invade off.”
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.”
Agzer says “I can't say much about this champion.
It's super annoying and always gets fed on bot lane, no matter who plays it.
If we are talking about 1v1 only, he can't beat you.
But if we are talking about mid/late game for sure he can be pain in the ass.
His kit allows him to be on the right spot really fast and he can be really dangerous for your bot lane/mid lane.
TIP: Try pinging your team to LATE invade him LEVEL 1. Let him do some damage to his buff and then suddenly appear. For sure you win if he doesn't take his first buff.”
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. ”
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. ”
Riealone says “Be careful on your ganks and jungle clear, fighting him is hard. He has all to counter you before your Mythic spike. Insane damage, heal, slow, root and great mobility in bushes”
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. ”
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. ”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
wyjebnik2zuk says “you give him free jumps, also he got free invades and you cant do anything about it, you can try do vertical jungling (or gank) but it will not be that effective cause you will get 1 camp when he will clear your whole red/blue side”
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.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Not a very hard matchup, however respect his level 6. Rengar is pretty weak vs you early on unless he catches you pretty low. Your combo will chunk him out, if you can land it properly.”
Disborn says “You can outplay him in early game with ignite but he will oneshot u rly fast, and R cant dodge his Q dmg when he jumps on u. Nothing u can do, jump on him first bro, thats how all assasins skill matchup played”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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 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.”
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.”
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.”
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. If he gets a lead and plays properly you won't be able to play the game. Red smite and ignite with fast tabis will solve the problem and make him look silly, however. 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. ”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “Beats you early game, but falls off harder than you do. Notice if Rengar takes Electrocute, or Conqueror and adjust how you play accordingly.”
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.”
aurus666lol says “Did you know that Rengar VS Kha'Zix is skill matchup? 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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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”
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!”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Eagzey says “This champ is the hardest matchup for AP Shaco in my opinion. AD it's not that bad because it's all about who can one-shot the other, but AP we can't one-shot, he can out-sustain us with his empowered W, has great mobility (to avoid boxes and R), and his R cucks us. Possible ban.”
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)”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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. ”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.
”
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.”
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.”
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.)”
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.”
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. ”
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”
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 ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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. ”
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”
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.”
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
xPetu says “Recommended: Standard Runes & Ignite
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.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Rengar can be a tough TOP laner to go up against if he does go top, he's primarily a JNG. It's quite simple really. Let him win the lane. You can not do anything to him and he is efficiently capable of zoning you out of minion CS range. Just let him push and farm under your tower. Sidestep or use your minions to body block his bolas, or be snared/slowed and chased down. It may be demoralizing but this is what you absolutely need to do to survive this lane, please do not try to be some hero, unless he is mentally incapable of playing the champion correctly by camping bushes, then you lose this HARD. His (R) will reveal you so don't play passive game once he is 6.
”
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.”
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 “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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Warwick de Crocs says “Pressionar o Ataque - Lâmina de Doran. 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.”
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.”
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.”
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)”
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) ”
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! :) ”
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)”
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.”
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.”
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 ”
BoilTheOil says “Take Conqueror. 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 have TP to follow him. Try to group with your team out of lane because he will try to get picks with his ultimate. ”
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.”
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”
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”
Alan234 says “Go Aery (Electrocute doesnt work because of his w heal)
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.”
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.”
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. ”
The Rock Titan says “"- 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
- 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."”
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.”
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.”
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”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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 ”
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. ”
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.”
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”
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.”
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 AND ALWAYS WARD RIVER!”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
TrinityForceYasuo says “So rengar top lane is pretty strong early game he can burst you big time level 2 when he jumps from the bushes so try to stay close to the river so he doesnt have the range. Its easy to predict where he is going to jump, just take a look at your minions and see which are low hp, when he jumps on them to kill them you can go for a Q or EQ and then asap go away with a dash on his minions or just walk away if you have the range. After you back and get a bit of attack speed/HP/refill potion. Usually that should be the time when you can kill him by a bit of poking and then all in-ing him. Keep in mind he will usually fight you in your minion wave so you get some extra damage from there. Also keep in mind how many stacks he has.”
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. ”
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 phage etc.dont seek trades with him but when he jumps to a minion try to punish him.”
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.”
Chili Dog says “Runes: Electrocute, Sudden Impact, Ghost Poro, Ravenous Hunter + Shield Bash, Bone plating or Conqueror, Triumph, Alacrity, Last Stand + Shield Bash, Bone Plating.
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. :) ”

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.”
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.
