Kirby Riot nerfs (most) things that are no fun to play against. Imagine how infuriating it would be to get 100-0'ed literally before you even realize that an enemy is on top of you. There was no counter-play to a fed Rengar, especially since the new vision system, even more so than with Yi and Akali. All of them are almost impossible to escape, but at least Yi and Akali could be noticed before you died.
Zach Jackson The amount you'd have to feed Rengar to get to that point would mean gg with any other carry anyways. He could always be easily stopped with cc + half a second of focus, and vision wards have been / are / will always be a thing. What about Leblanc, who can distort the range of 5 flashes and instagib anyone in plain sight with just 2-3 spells? Rengar was the ad Leblanc, and nobody nerfed her into fucking oblivion.
Mr Nice Guy The recent rework, believe it or not (been using it in diamond etc), is actually a lot stronger than before. The strengths - never losing stacks on trinket , Q is much stronger now (even tho you can't spam it as fast this guy but 100% of your AD? been wrecking everyone's early game). His ulti rework is actually strong as hell because when you get 5 stacks beforehand, use ulti and when you leap use your Q to use his stacks and then other skills, then you already have full stacks since it's also charging - you see this vid 3 shotting? well i'm killing them the moment I leap using only my empowered Q and instantly getting my stacks back - i can kill someone else, now that his E is a skill shot, you can gain your stacks easily in lane without much punishment and chase people much better - His early game is stronger and his late game is scarier - in fact i'm bursting people down faster than the OG rengar no matter how tanky they become, and surviving much longer in team fights regardless of how glass cannon i go - visions wards don't matter if you have mobility boots and at least 3 stacks on your trinket , and/or some movement speed items like trinity force / ghost blade (you're supposed to get both anyway and what i'm trying to say here is that you can easily roam especially since there won't always be a pink ward) - Rengar is already making a comeback in solo queue now that others are slowly starting to recognize his new strengths
helloitsme I'm not sure how 5v5 has changed, but there's not a single doubt in my mind that he's been butchered in 3v3. For early game, THE most important part of a 3v3 game, his one tool for harass (e) is a skillshot now, so any competent player can stand behind a minion and be completely safe unless Rengar wants to leap into an entire enemy minion wave to get some poke. Literally every other bruiser / top laner has some form of harass or way to deal damage in lane without taking too much minion aggro, but now Rengar can only wait for them to farm lane to his turret. The skillshot part is very rarely helpful, only getting some people who abuse that corner vision near the bushes, but the lack of a guaranteed hit and the fact other people can block for your quarry definitely beat any upside it gained (even the range). His q does less damage, no idea what you're talking about there, and his r is now completely ruined for ganks now that they can see an invisible champion coming, and all the high tier champs in 3v3 have some easy escape mechanism unlike in 5v5. TLDR; His game in 3v3 is horrible now at every stage of the game, relative to how it was before. Its still possible to win ofc, I've had some games where I went 30/0 and could oneshot the entire enemy team, but we all know that's only vs noobs now. Any competent 3v3 top player can shut Rengar down easy now, and even when they don't he's still not as useful / powerful as before the "rework" butchery.
yea true - his 3v3 sucks (i don't know how different 3v3 is now since i havent played it for the last 7 updates on it) , but i'm only playing 5v5s - his 5v5 is a lot stronger compared to before (I get ravenous hydra first which gives a bunch of dmage and the active helps burst dmage) - i've beaten every match up , jax irelia teemo renekton ryze shyv malphite etcetc in lower ranked plays like plat and below when im smurfing - i just assume nobody has a fast reaction so bursting is no problem and he has extremely fast movement speed... considering i farm like crazy so i'm able to get my items regardless - the notice is only SLIGHTLY further than your leap so i don't ever have trouble with that
well like the first nerf they did on his was reducing the empowered ad ratio from 200% to 100% so thye did nerf his q but that was a long time ago they also changed to a base dmg on the non empowered because at release it had the 100% ad ration on it before
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe he activates the SotD and quickly does Q twice, since after his ult, he can activate the ability once more after he has used up his fury. So he's critting both Q's
Build: Boots Of Mobility SOTD Triforce(and i do know about the mana waste, but the passive is so amazing) BT Black Cleaver and his lace of course Just dont go in this order
think i will add this to my talon build ghostblade-Ravenous Hydra-boots of swiftness/mobility-sotd*-infinity edge-bloodthirster i never had a sixth item for him either filled with wards or we won or loss before that point
@thadu23 He had Sword of the Divine(SotD/SOTD) and a Blood Thirster, then he said somewhere in comments that he went glass cannon after SotD. He also built SotD first.
Whenever I see a Rengar stealth I picture spooky music, then right when he jumps on you I picture a screamer screaming as loud as possible, that is rengar for you, at first you are like "meh" then suddenly you get deleted and are like WTFHUASDHKAJHSDHNASKJ HBNASJKD NSAM
This still work baby and all the kills are not before the nerf there is some after. The build is : IE + SOTD + LW and after u take some hp or some cdr or more damage and you enjoy
Rengar was released and nerfed WAY before season 3, and SotD is a S3 item. So no, this is postnerf. the SotD is kind of like the catalyst for his real power, which was shut down by the nerf. SotD helps his burst back a little.
Build : Infinity Edge and Sword of the Divine - bear in mind you NEED sustain so a Bloodthirster and Sword of the Divine is better. After that, you can build whatever, defense or offense - Last Whisper if they have a bit of Armor, Youmuu's Ghost blade or Black Cleaver but really all you need is sword of the divine and some damage (3 shot people, to this day).
I tried this and it worked super well. The trick is to always have 4 ferocity, Then; Ult > Sword of divine > Q. The Q gives 5 ferocity, allowing for another empowered Q immediately . My build was Blood thirster, black clever, and sword of the divine. Good luck. (21-9-0 Masteries)
Also, Rengar's Q will deal that burst damage whenever he wants, and he can do it twice, and his target doesn't have to be "isolated", you can pretty much just jump at the enemy's backline and smash them with the QQ combo and be done with your day. Yes, it needs items but compared to Nasus and Khazix's Q's, Rengar's Q deals way more damage earlier with fewer item requirements to spare. :P go figure
i expected rengar to jump out of the box in the beginning
I'm glad they put in the exclamation point above your head when a hidden rengar is near
This is still and forever will be the greatest Rengar montage of all time
you didn't watch ejsner's rengar lol
And his leesin lmao
This is the most satisfying video I've ever watched.
Jesus Christ hey why'd you use the of jesus christ for your name in this google acc its a disgrace
johnsen ferraz Because I have the keys to do so on my keyboard.
so?
oy nag tatagalog ka ba
ha?
sarap mong sapakin noh?
johnsen ferraz Do I see the language of Satan? In my presence? YOU FOUL MOUTHED FIEND.
Shhhhhhhh!!! Dont let Riot watch this!
Too late damage is done.
0:35
Blue pointer : Its ok dont worry.
Yelow : Danger but its still ok.
Red : OMFG RUN RUN RUN RUN !!!!!!!!
Rip Rengar ... :(
They actually buffed Ap Rengar like that ... Woth ult you can use up to 2 times the empowered W
This made me laugh way harder than I should've. Thanks for making my day!
merry christmas
don't you find funny that the actual rengar is doing exactly this job?
Nathaniel B I'm crying :( nathanielbee the best rengar one ıtem one shot
Oq o Caio Pagy tava fazendo aqui ?
lol the christmas music is absolutely perfect for this video
Glorious
i cannot explain how well the music fits with the video.
RIP SOTD :_: I'll never forget
never forget 4.20 ;_;
Did they delete sotd ?????
la voute They did delete SOTD it's gone :_:
Never forgive, never forget...
sotd bad item on rengar just get ur trinity IE and yomos GB and u will crit and do even more dmg cuz sotd is not giving armor pen and ad
This feels very satisfying to watch.
Balanced
rip in pasta old rengar
RIP. The whole rework was stupid and unnecessary: adding that stupid indicator that tells them you're coming was just salt on the wounds

in lower ranked plays like plat and below when im smurfing - i just assume nobody has a fast reaction so bursting is no problem and he has extremely fast movement speed... considering i farm like crazy so i'm able to get my items regardless - the notice is only SLIGHTLY further than your leap so i don't ever have trouble with that
The music is perfect.
SOTD has been removed :(
The holiday music just makes it even more troll. I like it.
BUILD PLS!!!
Doesn't work anymore, But it was IE and Sword of the Divine combo.
***** What do you mean it doesn't work?
Liker Sahin Good question.
Liker Sahin it's not that op anymore...you can do it...but you will not kill the adc in 1s anymore
You can still do the mechanic but Rengar got nerfed so :p
OMG. I was crying in laughter at this vid, with the music, and the terrible death
Don't see any difference today.
Lol u must be new then. Rengar used to be broken when his Q could crit.
What do you mean? It still can crit.
No, now it is an auto attack crit, then the Q dmg
Back when you didnt get an ! when rengar ulted and max fury stacks (whatver they r called)
rengar wishes you a happy christmas and a happy new year.
laik if you cray evry taim.
thanks man, now i feel like u found a loophole which makes rengar a beast again. :)
I could watch it over and over!
Merry Christmas Rengar
If you check guides online it says his build is Sword of the Divine, Boots, Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge, Frozen Mallet, and Bonetooth Necklace.
Yellow rengar will live forever in my heart
Also the look on these guy's faces irl would be fuckin priceless as you burst them down in 1 second xD
The last clip was awesome. Ryze warded because he was scared but you were already
stealthed haha
It's funny because they all at first try to attack him then realize what just happened and back off.
Still the best Rengar montage to date
Miss the good ol days :( rip sword of divine
"Better ward this so I d-" Gorebash123, you will be missed.
It's the We Wish You a Merry Christmas music.
well like the first nerf they did on his was reducing the empowered ad ratio from 200% to 100% so thye did nerf his q but that was a long time ago they also changed to a base dmg on the non empowered because at release it had the 100% ad ration on it before
If you try to ult whilst being attacked you dont go invis until like 3 secs after pressing r so it gives for him to die
Ikr he is such a pro playing all the "legend of leauge" maps and sticking to old non nerfed timed
and this is why rengars ult gives my heartattacks
1:15
Nida: Im going back to my base
Rengar: LoL nope !
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe he activates the SotD and quickly does Q twice, since after his ult, he can activate the ability once more after he has used up his fury. So he's critting both Q's
Build:
Boots Of Mobility
SOTD
Triforce(and i do know about the mana waste, but the passive is so amazing)
BT
Black Cleaver
and his lace of course
Just dont go in this order
i have no idea how this is not called rengar is having a wonderful time with that song playing.... it goes too well
think i will add this to my talon build
ghostblade-Ravenous Hydra-boots of swiftness/mobility-sotd*-infinity edge-bloodthirster
i never had a sixth item for him
either filled with wards or we won or loss before that point
Ryze was like " got turret and ward I'm safe (2 seconds later) ryze has been slain LMAO
Anempathetic music fits so well :-)
ideally you want sotd and ie for maximum damage output. bt and bc are good choices too, though :) it's all really just situational
no problem :) rengar was always one of my favorite champs
6 swords of the divine, use them all at once
The music fits perfectly.
That was rengars original job, ult in kill the carry (ad or ap) and run
the music makes it... UNIQUE
Old Rengar + SOTD on Summoner's Rift = Legalised Rape
If only this was still in the game, being a Rengo main would feel that much sweeter.
You know its a normal game when caitlyn builds Hurricane
Guys can you hear it? Thousands of instalock rengars are starting games right now just because of this video.
Oh the rage...
"Clever girl."--Safari Caitlyn.
@thadu23 He had Sword of the Divine(SotD/SOTD) and a Blood Thirster, then he said somewhere in comments that he went glass cannon after SotD. He also built SotD first.
It's a christmas miracle.
Whenever I see a Rengar stealth I picture spooky music, then right when he jumps on you I picture a screamer screaming as loud as possible, that is rengar for you, at first you are like "meh" then suddenly you get deleted and are like WTFHUASDHKAJHSDHNASKJ HBNASJKD NSAM
It seems that Rengar has found the way back to the Time when he was just released. XD
i was thinking about stop playing rengar, but after i watch this vid.....it`s RENGAR TIME!
we still have thornmail wich is basicaly the same team with the exeption that thronmail is a passive
Yes he does, for example, nasus q and khazix q both do 1000 times more damage than rengars q, and have almost twice the cooldown of his q
Build:
Sword of Divine (core)
Sunfire cape (Before Sword if u want)
Brutalizer
Warmog / more dmg
Rip in pepperonis old Rengar
This still work baby and all the kills are not before the nerf there is some after. The build is : IE + SOTD + LW and after u take some hp or some cdr or more damage and you enjoy
that probably wouldve been the best route to take, in the reddit thread i think he went glass cannon with infinity edge or somethin
Rengar was released and nerfed WAY before season 3, and SotD is a S3 item. So no, this is postnerf. the SotD is kind of like the catalyst for his real power, which was shut down by the nerf. SotD helps his burst back a little.
it gave you on hit magic dmg, and armor penetration active+undodgable magic atacks afaik
If you want he said in the decription "bt+sotd is enough"
Sword of the divine, infinity edge, brutalizer (black cleaver later) and cd boots that's pretty much everything u need.
His rengar is the top percentage of rengars
I need a slow motion of this video!! Can't understand to the spell sequence
omg i remember watching this video when it came out the memories god damn :')
Build : Infinity Edge and Sword of the Divine - bear in mind you NEED sustain so a Bloodthirster and Sword of the Divine is better.
After that, you can build whatever, defense or offense - Last Whisper if they have a bit of Armor, Youmuu's Ghost blade or Black Cleaver but really all you need is sword of the divine and some damage (3 shot people, to this day).
you kidding?
We wish you a merry christmas?
And not a single chainvest was given that day.
thank you sir
working as intended
enough to give 100 heart attacks.
pre-nerf rengar: PERFECTLY BALANCED
I tried this and it worked super well. The trick is to always have 4 ferocity, Then;
Ult > Sword of divine > Q.
The Q gives 5 ferocity, allowing for another empowered Q immediately .
My build was Blood thirster, black clever, and sword of the divine. Good luck.
(21-9-0 Masteries)
Forgot to mention, if you are doing well definitely get bonetooth.
a wild instant death appears
Oracles won't really counter it, he still jumps.
Also, Rengar's Q will deal that burst damage whenever he wants, and he can do it twice, and his target doesn't have to be "isolated", you can pretty much just jump at the enemy's backline and smash them with the QQ combo and be done with your day. Yes, it needs items but compared to Nasus and Khazix's Q's, Rengar's Q deals way more damage earlier with fewer item requirements to spare. :P go figure
I do this too btw :P It's: SOTD, Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, Mobility boots, Bloodthirster, and (whatever you wanna build last)
LOL
I love how Ryze places that ward down. Totally safe from Rengar no--OH SHI
poor little caprice playing ashe and got instagibbed by the beast
Sword of the divine, 3x bloodthirster, infinity edge(only for its passive), boots and the blade of the ruined king only for its passive.
I haven't laughed so hard since I first saw a Dunkey video
No words...just...wow.
why have i never thought of this..
Its sad because Rengar does this without SOTD now...
I use to build Warmogs + Sunfire + Kindlegem, then BC (IE and BT are good too btw). Wanna try SotD before finishing SV/Locket.
The music makes this video. Anyone know what version of We Wish You A Merry Christmas this is?
