League of Legends Rengar Mini-Rework Smooths His Mechanics & Ferocity
League of Legends has released details of upcoming changes to Rengar, the Pridestalker. Riot has been releasing many small-scale champion reworks and updates of this nature recently. League of Legends Patch 12.5 saw a minor update to Master Yi, the Wuju Bladesman, which moved the champion away from the Lethality build that has been popular recently. Prior to that, League of Legends Patch 12.3 included a rework for Ahri, the Nine-tailed Fox which allowed her to reconnect with her identity as a mobile mage, granting her additional charges of her ultimate dash upon getting a takedown on an enemy champion.
Rengar has long been a problem champion in League of Legends due to the fact that Rengar's kit contains little to no utility. This means that unless he gets strong enough to assassinate enemy champions quickly, he offers next to nothing to his team. Although Rengar's Battle Roar grants him some survivability and a way to escape crowd control and his empowered Bola Strike can briefly root an enemy, there is very little that makes Rengar useful if he lacks the damage to kill his target outright. On the flip-side, if the Pridestalker can kill his target inside of his burst combo, then there is very little counterplay on the part of Rengar's victim, making the champion unpleasant either to play with or against depending on how strong he is. Now, the champion appears to be in line for a rework.
