i perma ban this, you just can't do anything against it. He has a better tempo, bigger dmg early game, shields and heals, more movement speed. If u even try to skip your camps he instatly goes there and steals it all. He also outscales u while being stronger early. Just very annoying champ. Also can buy steelcaps.
Graves
One of the hardest match ups. Stacks armor on his E, has similar dmg to you early game, and also his W can stop u from jumping. Hard to play against him especially when he has prio and invades you alot. Also he outscales you hard and also can buy steelcaps.
Jarvan IV
One of the most broken champs right now. He has a very good clear and gank potential. Can go assasin bruiser and tank in ONE build then he deals alot of dmg while being unkilable. Has very good engage and when paired with some hypercarry or good teamfight champs he can win game easliy. Hard to play against that but if u get ahead then its not that hard. HE ALSO CAN BUY STEELCAPS.
Wukong
One of the hardest match ups especially if wukong is in meta. He stacks armors so in 1v1 u can't kill him. His R cancels your jump and even when u are close to killing him he still can run away with his W. Rengar doesn't have much counter play to wukong, you have to avoid 1v1 or 2v2 and colapse on him when its 2v1 situation. He gets outscaled so try to farm alot too. You will have a bad time against a good wukong player. He also can buy steel caps xd.
Briar
Briar is very strong early game also scales really well. You are stronger on rengar early tho and you can get feed of her. You also can get away from her with your W and E. Her burn is really annoying tho. You have to avoid her mid-late game or one shoot her, depends if its bruiser or crit build.
Gragas
Gragas can cancel your jump with his E. EON is necessary here and also you cant just jump on him. You have to play around walls and your empowered E to kill him. Hard match up but gragas jg is most of the time full ap and squishy. You dont really need to fight with him tho so you can avoid him. He will also try to peel his squishy teammates.
Kayn
Match up depends on what form kayn goes.
Red is definitely harder than blue. He is much tankier just cuz of his build. He can outheal all of your dmg, knock you up and one shoot you. When you play against red kayn you have to invade and try to get feed of him in early game. Even when he gets form early in the game it still doesnt give him that much. Red spikes after 2 items. When fighting with him you have to jump on him and stun him then dodge his W. Mortal reminder and EON are good against red.
Blue is very easy just jump stun him and one shoot him. Early game goes same as for red. You outscale blue kayn.
Most of the players will go red kayn but if its blue than try to abuse him as much as you can.
Lee Sin
Lee can invade you early game and wins fight before lvl 6. You outscale him after 1 item. Just try to avoid him and farm for umbral and its easy win. He also gets REALLY bad late game and its hard for him to even play.
Nocturne
One of the most annoying match ups but isn't that hard tho. He is stronger than you first few lvls and you cant 1v1 him cuz he will force you to use your empowered W and if you do that than you will lack dmg. Try to avoid him and make plays on other side of the map. If u get ahead then you one shoot him and he doesnt have counter play. If he is ahead tho then he will just ult on you and kill you every single time.
Nunu & Willump
Similar to hecarim he has a better tempo than u and once he gets ahead its hard to play against him. U are way stronger than him in early game tho.
Rammus
You win before first back. He doesnt have dmg without any items. Try to avoid him and when you get ahead you will start to win fights. Rush LDR 3rd item against him and late try to just go for his backline.
Shyvana
Hard match up she outscales u after six. U can still one shoot her but it gets way harder. Later in the game its almost unplayable for rengar. Invade her early and get ahead.
Talon
Talon is one of the best assasins into rengar cuz he counters most of them. Talon can abuse that rengar before lvl 6 is very immobile and he can gank alot and invade him. Most of the time they will run ignite and you cant survive that cuz your W heals you much less. When you get to first item you can oneshoot talon if you stun him with your E. Also you outscale him but he can stomp you really hard if he gets ahead early game.
Vi
Hard match up for vi. She can stop your jump, chase u with her ult and then knock u up. When playing against her u have to build EON and use your empowerd e when u jump on her.
Warwick
Warwick counters rengar hard but u still have counter play to him. You cant kill him 1v1 tho and most of the time you will be needing team. When he r you use your empowerd W, and when u are running away on low health u can easily slow and stun him. You out scale him late game and u have to farm alot cuz he can counter gank almost always and u cant kill him most of the times.
Amumu
Amumu is a annoying match up but isnt really threat for rengar. Rengar can abuse that amumu has low dmg early game especially if he doesn't have ult. Amumu will also run liandry's so he will be very squishy and easy to kill. He gets very annoying late game when he just goes into your whole team and stuns everyone.
Bel'Veth
New belveth is good matchup for rengar. You have to invade her alot early game and make sure she cant hit 80 stacks easily. You also have to end the game before she hits 3-4 items and 80 stacks because she out scales you hard.
Fiddlesticks
Similar to amumu except that he has more dmg and is squishier later in the game. Its hard to invade him early cuz he can Q R you or just stand in his camps and heal of them while you try to kill him. Also your ults vision can focus on his wards revealing your position and blocking vision.
Hecarim
Coin flip matchup. It really depends on who is better at the game. You have to match hecarims tempo in the matchup otherwise he will outfarm and outgank u. If hecarim doesnt go death's dance steelcaps then you can one shoot him after first item spike. You win 1v1 with him before 6 but you always have to have 4 stacks. ALWAYS RUN CONQ IN THIS MATCHUP.
Jax
Not that hard of a match up but can be pretty anoying. You have to stun him while he is casting his e and try to one shoot him before he even has time to cast his ultimate. He outscales u.
Kindred
Rengar favoring match up but kindred can win it if she is good. Kindred cant invade rengar most of the times early game cuz he can kill her or just run away from her. You are way stronger than her for half a game and can abuse it invading her. If she doesnt have ult than she just gets one tapped but if she has ult it becomes tricky. Later in the game she outscales rengar but he still can kill her if she doesnt have her ult. Good kindred player late game will stand on her back line and press ult when you try to kill them so you have to wait for yours team engage or poke.
Master Yi
U destroy him early but he out scales u after 3rd item. U have to win pretty quickly against him otherwise he will just outscale u and win. Try to invade him alot early game and get as much kills as you can. Most of the times he wont even click his W in time so he will survive on 1 hp use W so just kill him. He will farm alot so try to steal it and deny his farm.
Poppy
Annoying because of her w but not hard match up. U destroy her early game and later she doesn't get really better mid nor late game. But in late she will stand on her back line with her W and try to cancel you so buy EON almost always when you play against her.
Rek'Sai
Rek'Sai can knock up rengar while he's jumping on her and also just run him down most of the times. Match up is not that hard you just have to stun her when you jump on her. You win with her lvl 4 most of the times. You can easliy steal her jg and get feed like that cuz she will try to just perma gank most of the times. Gets really bad and outscaled after 3 items.
Sejuani
Try to abuse her early game cuz she is not very strong but once she buys her first item she becomes really tanky and hard to play against. Try to colapse on her with your team and kill her. Later in the game buy EON and just ignore her and go straight for her backline. Most of the times she cant defend them cuz she has to engage.
Trundle
Not a hard match up. Dont try to fight with him early especially lvl 6. Try to gank alot and get feed of ganks. If you get ahead you can fight with him alot more and most of the times one shoot him. If you dont manage to one shoot him then stun him and wait for his ult to end than you can kill him. Late game he wont be in teamfight but on sidelane trying to end you. Either you or your teammater have to defend him. Dont let him push you for free.
Viego
Pretty easy match up, u can invade and fight with him alot early on cuz u are stronger than him almost all game long. Mid and late game u still one shoot him with your ult. Can be harder if he gets really feed, than he can survive u and one shoot u, so u cant let him get ahead try to not let him farm or gank.
Volibear
Match up almost unplayable before lvl 6. He solos u and its not even close. U have to farm asap for lvl 6 and if u get it before him than you can kill him on your ult. Than you can kill him whenever he doesnt have ultimate cuz his first 2 items are going to be dusk and dawn and navori so he will be pretty squishy. Dont try to invade him early cuz he can heal of his camps.
Xin Zhao
Annoying match up but isn't really that hard. Definitely xin favoured tho.
You can fight with him early games but try to wait out hes W, if he misses it he loses a lot of his dmg. Xin gets outscaled after 2-3 items and isn't really a good champ so it wont be that hard but he can invade u alot so try to get vision to avoid it.
Brand
You can abuse that he is worse than you in 1v1 whole game long and just try to invade him alot. When he stuns you have your 4 stacks ready and cleans it with your empowerd W. Gets bit harder later in the game when he stacks health of items.
Diana
Easy match up you can kill her easliy whole game long. Try to kill her whenever you can and jsut steal her camps. Gets harder when she buys zhonyas and most of the times its 3rd item so be awere. In teamfights you can one shoot her if she doesnt have zhonyas cuz she can deal alot of dmg to your team but if she has zhonyas skip her and go for their backline.
Elise
Easy matchup rengar counters her hard. She cant invade rengar but nor can you. Farm and gank when you have ult. Even when she gets far ahead she still cannot win against you cuz you will one shoot her all game long. Try to jump with your empowered E and stun her so she cant use her spider form E. She gets outscaled very quickly.
Ivern
Annoying cuz he will try to invade u and steal your camps alot. He gives u bushes so its really easy but the shields and daisy are annoying.
Karthus
Most of the times he will play exhaust but you can just wait it out then burst him. He is very immobile and you can invade him alot. You have to get far ahead in early game cuz he outscales you hard later in the game.
Maokai
Annoying but pretty easy. Idk really what to say about that match up cuz i haven't played against him in a while.
Pantheon
Pretty easy just bait out he's e u can w his stun. U are stronger than him after 6 and out scale him. Only annoying part is that he can counter gank you.
Skarner
Skraner is just useless. Also u can free of his ult and u deal alot od dmg to him. He has low dmg early so you can fight with him alot. He will try to gank alot so go into his jungle and steal his camps. He will stack health so he will be pretty squishy. Buy EON.
Taliyah
Easy match up u can invade her early and kill her easy. Also when she runs away with her ult u can stun her and cancel it. Later she will try to close your team in fights with her ult. She will stand alot in side lane so you can try to kill her there. Buy EON against her.
Teemo
Teemo jg is a bad champ even tho he is annoying he still cant really do much into rengar. You can invade him cuz if he qs you just W it or wait it out and then you kill him cuz you have alot more dmg. Later he will just spam shrooms so buy EON and use red trinket and your fine. Also he has ZERO impact in team fights and will probably try to go for your backline or just stand on sidelanes. You can easliy kill him on sides.
Zac
Zac will try to farm alot and he is bad early game. Try to match his tempo and invade him and your fine. He outscales u tho.
Ekko
Ekko cant really play into rengar. Rengar is way stronger early game and also cant really escape him. You can easliy invade him lvl 3 if u get vision and just kill him steal his camps and then its gg for him. When you get six just jump on him with stun and he cant use his ult nor his E so you can just kill him.
Evelynn
Easiest rengar match up. Rengar can see her while she is on her pasive, he can stun her, free of her charm, heal all of her dmg, and one shoots her. Also rengar is much stronger in early and can invade and kill her. Try to just hunt her down and kill her everytime you have ult. She is also a really bad champion so she wont be doing much in late game.
Kha'Zix
Easy match up for rengar. Alot of people think that kha'zix counters rengar but its not true. Rengar is much stronger champ and can stomp kha with no problem. Only time when kha is stronger than rengar is lvl 1-5. Try to farm and avoid 1v1 fights with him and after lvl 6 you can ult and run him down. Rengar counters kha'zix very hard cuz he can heal all of his dmg, he can stun him so he cant get away, one shoot him, see him even when his on his ult.
Lillia
She doesn't really have any counter play to rengar. He can one shoot her stun her and even free of her ult. Also she is useless early. Out scales rengar late game but he still wins fights with her she is just stronger in team fights than him.
Nidalee
Second easiest rengar match up right after evelynn. She is worse than rengar all game long. She cant kill him early nor late game. He can heal all of her dmg and stun her. Also he can one shoot her witch makes her human form E almost useless later in the game. She is also currently second worse champ in the game after yone.
Shaco
Another very easy match up. Shaco is very bad champ and only thing he can do is gank. But even when he gets ahead he still becomes very useless after 2 items. Rengar is very good into shaco. Only downside is that shaco can go ignite and then you wont heal that much. Try to steal his camps while he ganks, you wont match his gank tempo anyways so dont even try. You can kill him almost every time you see him just dont get baited for his traps.
Zed
Noone plays zed jg. Its free match up you can stun him and he cant even do anything. Also u out scale him and you are stronger early game. You can invade him and fight with him.
Senna
Senna is very good if not the best support to play with rengar. Rengar has a passive on his R that alows him to jump whenever his invisible and curently in the game only senna gives that effect. She can use her E and you just jump out of it.
Ivern
Ivern can give you bushes that are op on rengar cuz you can JUMP off them. He also gives good stup for rengar with his q and Daisy. Also he has shields.

Rengar is very fun champion with alot of outplay potential. He is hard tho so he needs alot of hours put into him. Rengar also isn't the strongest champion in the meta and can strugle if he plays into tankier teamcomps. He has alot of solocarry potential and can solo win games (most of the time). I've started playing rengar thanks to his ability to one shoot any squishy champion. He is also good in any elo. He also can win any match up in the jg.
how to play rengar
As Rengar you have to farm alot and try to make plays only after you cleared all your camps. Try to farm for lvl 6 cause it will make ganks alot easier. You can invade lvl 3 if you have prio mid. Rengar is one of the strongest champions in the jg lvl 3 and four. If you can try to fight on scutle crab and try to abuse ganks with your ult whenever its up. Try to gank lanes with hard cc cuz it will guarantee a kill on the enemy. Try maintaining four stacks by hitting the plants or the wards to max your dmg. You have to maintain your farm to always be ahead but you also have to make plays on the map. If Rengar is behind he is useless so u always have to get ahead. But if u are ahead then u just oneshoot any one thats what makes Rengar unfunny to play against if u are a better player.
early game
In most games you will want to path botlane although sometimes you have to path toplane if theres a flip matchup on toplane or you are playing into a kayle or nasus. You can invade enemy jungler lvl 3 if you have prio and the enemy champion is posible to invade. You win most skirmishes at lvl 3 and 4 so you can take a fight at scutle crab. Try to farm for lvl 6 as fast as possible cuz rengar cant really gank early game. Its possible but you have to be creative looking for lane ganks wich rengar is really good at. After lvl 6 try to full clear and gank whenever you have ultimate.
mid game
In the mid game you will try to play sidelane and caught people off guard. If u are ahead a this point then you should be able to easily one shoot any one and make alot of preasure on the sidelane. Your ultimate also allows you to roam very quickly.
late game
The longer the game goes the weaker you become so you shouldnt allow the game to be for too long. People will start to group atp so dont go mindlessly in and try to kill people overextending. In teamfights try to go on flank and kill enemy carries. Play alot of sidelane cuz rengar has one of the fastest pushes in the game and can easily end game by sidelane only.
matchups
Most matchups are easy when u know what are u doing on rengar. But when u play against power farmers (shyvana, nasus, master yi, etc.) u have to keep up with their farm aswell as get advantage. You have to always clear your camps and then do somthing on map beacause if u wont do it then they will just go in and steal it. You can also invade them cuz most of them are very bad early game and u can just kill them. When u play against tempo champs (hecarim, talon) u have to keep up with them in tempo and counter gank. If they outtempo you then you will be behind and will lose jg. UDYR is just unpleyable ban him.
