Favorable match-up.
You have to play around Amumu, Do NOT try to burst him unless he has no armor or health. Bait out his aftershock's proc (Bandage Toss) before you use your abilities on him. You have to win early against him or he will out scale you. Force pressure on him early with invades or counter ganks and track her!
Camille
Even match-up.
Watch out for when she gets ninja tabi's. Outplay her by dodging her E (Hookshot/Wall Dive), using bushes as a way to hop away from your current location.
Diana
Even match-up.
She is heavily reliant on her early finished items to duel rengar. She will heavily outscale you in a 1v1 unless you are super fed and can one-shot her. Force pressure on her early with invades or counter ganks and track her!
Dr. Mundo
Difficult match-up.
Unkillable if you're running a heavy ad comp because he WILL stack armor. Your best bet is to snowball from laners and vertical jungle against him and avoid the side he's on. Rush Executioners after Tiamat if you want to stand a chance in a duel against him.
Ekko
Even match-up.
He has horrible clear for most of early game, find ways to exploit this depending on where he starts and counter gank him or invade Ekko. Once he has 6 he becomes harder to shut down and will eventually be difficult for you to one-shot unless you're super ahead
Elise
Favorable match-up.
Rengar can get the early lead. Keep in mind Elise's threat is in her finished Runic Echoes and afterwards where she has potential to 1-Shot you. Avoid Face-checking!
Evelynn
Easy match-up.
You have one-shot potential on her throughout the game once you finish your lethality item. Make sure to deep ward her jungle otherwise farm for free without you being able to track her movements. Your ultimate renders her stealth useless.
Fiddlesticks
Even match-up.
Fiddlesticks will easily out farm you due to his innate ability to clear multiple camps at once. Use your ult late game to reveal his location and pick off the priority target.
Gragas
Even match-up.
Depending on how gragas builds, this match-up could be easy or a nightmare. If gragas is building full ap you can oneshot him. Be sure to rush edge of night otherwise he can cancel your combo with his E (Body Slam).
Graves
Difficult match-up.
Graves will never lose to you 1v1 due to his Quickdraw. His core build is black cleaver and he will buy ninja tabi's against you. Maintain constant pressure of the map and gank/ward your jungle entrance for invades. Do not let Graves farm for free.
Hecarim
Favorable match-up.
Hecarim has very weak early 1v1 until he finishes his trinity force. Use this time to contest scuttle crabs and counter gank.
Ivern
Easy match-up.
He's extremely weak against counter jungling and his bushes will give you free leaps. His core item relies on building support items which offers him zero 1v1 capabilities.
Jarvan IV
Easy match-up. Your early game 1v1 is stronger however he excels at ganking and you have to track him and make sure to keep his jungle warded and ping your teammates.
Jax
Difficult match-up. Do not try to use Empowered Savagery him. Make use of the root from Empowered Bola and kite him. He will outscale you all game. His weakness is his lack of ability to pressure early game.
Karthus
Favorable match-up. Maintain a lead against Karthus and you will be able to one-shot him almost all game until he gets zhonyas. His strength is in his ability to clear camps. Keep in mind of his ults before ganking.
Kayn
Favorable match-up. He has zero kill pressure early game against you. Make sure the 1v1 or skirmish against him is worth it early otherwise he wins by getting closer to his form. Rengar excels at 1v1 and skirmishes against Kayn.
Kha'Zix
Even match-up. Depending on the build, Kha'zix can be go even or become a nightmare. Kha'zix does well with bruiser items and ninja tabi's which makes it impossible for Rengar to duel. Effective ganks and invades early will help in keeping Kha'zix down.
Kindred
Favorable match-up. Kindred builds no form of defensive items which makes one-shots very easy. Avoid her early game unless you are ahead of her or finished your lethality item otherwise she can kite you.
Lee Sin
Difficult match-up. Do not engage on him unless you are capable of one-shotting him which will require gold lead or he is lower hp than you. Once he gets ninja tabi's and black cleaver it is very difficult to duel him.
Lillia
Favorable match-up. She''s very easy to snowball off of for the most part just make sure you're fighting in a bush otherwise she will kite you out or you use your root on her. Mirror her early jungle path so you could match all of her ganks.
Master Yi
Even match-up. Master yi is capable of killing you for many stages of the game. Rengar is unable to burst through yi's meditate unless with a huge gold lead or by a surprise. Do not let yi farm for free and shut him down early by mirroring his early start and force skirmishes.
Nidalee
Favorable match-up. Rengar can one-shot nidalee for most or all of the game assuming nidalee doesn't build armor. Nidalee's only power is in her early game. Force skirmishes near river and in her jungle with lane priority.
Nocturne
Even match-up. Do not counter gank against Nocturne early. You outscale him. Remind bot lane to play safe when Nocturne's ult is off cooldown. Once you finish your lethality item, you're able to invade him and one-shot him.
Nunu & Willump
Even match-up. Nunu is VERY weak early game. Make sure to mirror his path and force skirmishes. Nunu will prioritize dragon's early game. Make sure to either take it when his bot lane recalls/is shoved in OR shut down their mid / bot early game so you can win the dragon fight.
Olaf
Difficult match-up. He will never lose to you 1v1 unless he rushes warriors first and is low. Be mindful that the lower hp he is, the higher the DPS he will be dishing out. Make sure you can one-shot him otherwise run. He is a great farmer and invader look to vertical jungling in this match-up.
Rammus
Favorable match-up. Rammus has a horrible clear and dueling potential. Make sure once he Powerballs into you or taunts you to save your abilities because his Aftershock will proc as well as his defensive ball curl which will mitigate most of your damage.
Rek'Sai
Even match-up. Make sure to save your Battle Roar when you engage on her otherwise she will chunk you. She is weak before she recalls on the first clear so you have to mirror her path and look to counter gank. Do not be predictable with your leap otherwise your damage will get canceled.
Sejuani
Favorable match-up. Sejuani is very weak early however she has strong skirmishes due to her being able to lock you down and have someone else burst you.
Sett
Difficult match-up. Sett will beat you in a 1v1. Avoid matching his path. Focus on building a lead through farming and ganking.
Shaco
Favorable match-up. Rengar can one-shot Shaco easily and smite the Jack-In-The-Box to prevent the fear from activating. Shaco's deceive can be revealed with Rengar's ultimate.
Shyvana
Even match-up. Do not let Shyvana free farm and take dragons uncontested. Shyvana is weak without dragon form and has weak gank potential.
Skarner
Even match-up. Make sure to maintain a lead against Skarner. He has bad clear and his only way of snowballing is through ganks. Do not force 1v1's against Skarner post 6 otherwise he can lock you down and have his teammates come.
Taliyah
Easy match-up. Do not let her land her e/w combo on you. Keep vision control of the river. She is weak in 2v2's if you have ultimate ready. Make sure to invade her and kill her when she uses her abilities on camps.
Trundle
Even match-up. Trundle has horrible wave clear however excellent dueling potential. Force fights pre-6 until he builds defensively. Keep in mind he has the ability to steal your AD/Resistances/Health. Trundle's strength is in his ganks/objective control/invades.
Twitch
Easy match-up. Make sure to inform teammates of Twitch potential level 2 cheese gank. Mirror his path. Most Twitch will start red buff first and gank. Invade twitch often and use ultimate to reveal his stealth.
Udyr
Even match-up. Do not engage on him unless you have bushes readily avaiable or teammates nearby. He will win 1v1's and skirmishes. He has very little utility and gank potential so make sure to deep ward and ping teammates of potential ganks. His weakness is in his team fighting capabilities.
Vi
Even match-up. Rengar is stronger than Vi during the first clear however once Vi reaches level 6 she can out trade you. Keep in mind Vi has the ability to cancel your burst and lock you in place.
Volibear
Difficult matchup. For the most part Volibear will beat you in a 1v1. He has naturally high damage as well as he's impossible to one-shot. His skirmishes are very strong. Path on the opposite side of him to avoid scuttle skirmishes and counter ganks.
Warwick
Even match-up. For most of the early game rengar will beat Warwick 1v1 until Warwick has his ultimate. Use Empowered Bola against Warwick's Fear and make sure to be in a bush against him.
Wukong
Difficult match-up. Wukong has many ways to cancel rengar's burst and will outscale rengar in 1v1's. Rengar's early game is stronger and clear is better however. Make sure to counter gank and snowball that into a lead. Use ultimate and bait the clone/ultimate before leaping on him.
Xin Zhao
Favorable match-up. Xin has bad clear and weak team fights. Make sure to build a lead through farming/ganking as well as early 1v1's where xin loses to rengar.
Zac
Favorable match-up. Zac is fairly weak early and offers nothing in a skirmish. Make sure to mirror him and counter gank and contest scuttles. Do not let him take neutral objectives without being contested.

Early Game
Rengar's early game requires him to mirror most junglers due to his excellent dueling potential once he is positioned well. Knowing your matchups and your laner's priority allows you to force scuttle skirmishes or avoid them is crucial. Rengar should look to invade most junglers due to the strong dueling power he has. Rengar has a potent top and bot lane gank, make sure there are no wards in the lane bushes first. With each successful gank, assist your teammate in shoving the wave and look to counter jungle near lanes with priority. Once you reach 6 you become a massive threat on the map due to your ultimate's bonus damage and vision. Look to gank lanes that have no . Bot lane ganks would be ideal due to the snowball potential of killing two enemies as well as early dragon control. Look for pre 14-minute rifts because it will land you two tower plates and potentially a tower.
Mid Game
This is when you look to start skirmishes and control vision. You want deep wards in the enemy jungle. Rengar excels at cutting off rotation. With deep vision, you are able to safely mirror your split pusher and kill whoever rotates to defend their turret. Rengar is incredibly weak outside of his ultimate unless you have bushes nearby. Make sure to pay attention to the enemy's summoners as well as items. Do NOT dive a carry with , or unless they are completely alone. Make picks BEFORE and .
Late Game
Late game is similar to Mid game for Rengar however you have to keep in mind that carries now have defensive items. Look for coordinated picks with the team and avoid team fights UNLESS they have only one threat that can be easily killed otherwise you'll most likely trade your life as well.
