Arrr, strengths and limits
What Rengar does well, and what can go wrong
These be kit-level patterns, nay a promise that every course or matchup plays th' same way.
Arrr, limits to respect
- Arrr, a failed commitment can leave no clean exit and little value until cooldowns return.
- Can be worn down or controlled afore reaching th' range where th' kit be strongest.
- Basic attacks require belay access, so foe range, slows and displacement can deny a clean trade.
Arrr, riot ally tips
Use these while learning th' championUse Rengar's ultimate to seek and assassinate high priority targets in crew fights and skirmishes.
A lot o' Rengar's power comes from empowered tricks he uses at th' right moment - choose wisely!
Make sure to take paths through brush when chasing foes to take advantage o' Rengar's passive.
Riot foe tips
What an foe be told to watch ferRengar gains an empowered trick when his resource bar be full. Try to confront him when it's low.
Rengar's passive enables him to leap out o' brush, so avoid fighting him when nigh bushes.
Rengar puts an indicator over th' nearest foe champion when he be camouflaged during his ultimate.
Arrr, practical champion reading
Arrr, how to read Rengar in a real fight
Use these patterns to ask better questions afore choosing an gear, target or commitment. They describe th' kit, nay a promised result.
Arrr, primarily physical pressure
Armour can reduce th' broad physical profile. Separate basic attacks from physical tricks afore relying on an gear passive that only affects attacks.
One short window carries much o' th' threat
Track th' key setup and highest-impact cooldown. A missed or blocked opening can create a safer window afore th' full rotation returns.
Needs belay access fer basic attacks
Range, slows, displacement and terrain can deny th' clean contact this champion wants. Course th' course in as carefully as th' damage after arrival.
Arrr, threaten a reachable priority target
A clean angle matters more booty than attacking th' nearest unit immediately. Keep an exit, reset th' course or follow-up course in mind afore committing.
Identify th' exact movement restriction
Tenacity can shorten only eligible control. Displacements, airborne effects and repeated slows need their own positioning, blocking or movement captain's answer.
Inspect whether recovery changes th' fight
Anti-heal or anti-shielding be situational. Buy it only when th' effect be materially protecting targets and yer champion can apply th' captain's answer reliably.
Arrr, ferocity and cooldowns both matter
A spell being available does nay mean th' shipshape sequence be sustainable. Watch th' resource bar as well as th' setup and escape cooldowns.
Defensive gear reference
