Threat		Notes
1	Brand	brandjungle doesnt work that well in season 5 anyway if u get up against him its easy for u just keep vision of him with wards and u'll be fine if he comes and tries to compo u just dodge his q/w and his e is worthless :) he has low mobility so low gank efficiency
1	Kha'Zix	This is easy try to catch him when u are lvl 3 then u'll kill him easy. Late game he gets stronger but if u get ur first 4 items before his 3 (machete boots and item) u'll kill him :) AND HAVE THAT NICE HEAD OF HIS
1	Master Yi	Just aim ur combo corectly or that Q will fuck u up big time he needs his blue rlly bad so if ur teammate wards it as soon as it spawns u'll see when he gets it and next blue should be urs :)
2	Fiddlesticks	just try to find him after u reach lvl 3 he'll be on his red or something xD then if u get him do that again and again u'll be fed just from him in no time ;)
3	Nocturne	There are some good nocturne that should be placed on Threat level 6 but i'll place this on 3 coz u can clear jungle no leash while he needs to recall after one side jungle clear with leash that means u get dragon while he clears jungle u have like 15sec advantage that should mean after solo drag lvl 5 u should be 1-2 monster away from nocturne but that wont be much of a problem oz u will start building AD while he will only be working on boots so try to search for him at lvl 6 and kill him coz he has low Hp after his clears Unless it's late game DUH
3	Xin Zhao	He only seems powerfull but acctualy u can just 1v1 him easily until 6 even after 6 he's shit from lvl 12 he begins to gt stronger so dont feed him and try to counter jungle him
4	Darius	this isn't that hard just try to counter jungle him early and he'll fall behind levels from u he needs tons of vision for himself and he needs to clear wards out to gank coz he has like no mobility once again
4	Tryndamere	Try to catch him faster than he hits 6 he's weak without lvl 6 and even if he hits it u can still 1v1 him with ur ult u ult not to jump on but to run when he ults :) that way u both will have no ult but u'll win coz he can't do shit with low HP
5	Jarvan IV	This isnt that easy it's pretty moderate coz he has a shield and AOE ult wich pust u in a battle arena he's a great tf'er not like u so if u get stuck in that arena in middle of TF u are dead to win againts him try to watch out that flag its his main ability and main cc without flag he's shit
5	Rek'Sai	If u catch her like lvl 2-3 jungling he's rip but later on if she gets early kill u are rest in pepperoni coz she'll get her tank and lifesteal then her q will deal huge damage and w (burrow) will keep her sustained
5	Shyvana	Fast clears tanky but deals almost no dmg without her ult :) so is a pretty easy matchup unless she catches u lvl 4 taking dragon
5	Vi	She has fast clears and does well with ganking so to take her down u should try catching her when low HP like 2 times keep counter jungling her to make her come to ur jungle then use thunderous bongaloo to burst her down
5	Nunu	He wards tons of jungle so it's hard to be unseen by him his fast jungle clear let him finish jungle clears 2x-3x faster than u do he can even solo dragon no recall so u have to ward it after u have done blue buff and continiuosly ask bottom lane to ward it. To beat him just try after finishing blue go to his red maybe he'll be there and u can beat him if u do its good but remember u get lvl 2 he'l be lvl 3 :) so be carefull
6	Fiora	This is serious it's kind of hard to play against her coz of her riposite (W) blocking ur Q/Empowered Q so she could cause quite a mess besides that she's easy
6	Lee Sin	dat kicks sucks he has so much cc and if he has his e u cant escape coz u'll beome visible he's great in tf's and could mess u up big time
6	Sejuani	Tanky as shit but u can take her at level 6 coz u have faster clears than she does and early she's weak not like rengar
6	Warwick	This champion has a rlly high clear potencial tough he cant gank till lvl 6 pretty much so u can try catching him while he cant duel u but remember in 4-5 minutes he'll be full HP recalling ussualy at his gromp because his q and passive will keep him sustained
7	Olaf	Olaf is rlly a hard matchup for rengar if he builds poacher's knife and stay's in his jungle its good but mostly he'll counter jungle ur buff's so u need to buy 1 vision ward and upgrade that trinket ASAP :p and yes u need to pink ward drag coz that fucker can get it lvl 4 too
8	Amumu	This peace o'shi* is rlly hard u cant get him if he builds tanky ur R.I.P. but if he tries to go AP/AD ur in luck :) his Edeals precentage of health so its not worth to build tank just to get less dmg that wont work
8	Shaco	This is hard not coz of his damage or ult it's hard coz there's some nice strategies while playing this like Illuminati boxes that trigger one another or just his Q like flash and that speed with mobos... if he didnt fight u and started running dont even chase and if he gets fed he'll start traping u with jitb's in the bush
8	Udyr	Fast clears tanky taht stun and that shield he can easily kill rengar early and late game so try to catch him when low like after first clear but make sure to not be low urself
8	Jax	He's tanky and has a dodge+stun he's rlly strong against rengar his w+r combo deals tons of damage and i acctualy dont know how to beat him so just dont feed him and try to hit 6 and 1v1 him ASAP before he gets 6
9	Malphite	U need as much armor penetration as quick as possible because he'll get rlly tanky like amumu late game and that will suck he'll deal 400 dmg+ and have 200+ armor & MR so u'll just get fucked coz ur spells will deal no dmg with that 35 Armor penetration from ur Last whisper and that 300 AD u might deal some dmg but it wont be enough
9	Rammus	He's another tank jungler that can mess u up big time his ult is rlly good if u are Low HP trying to escape afetr losing 1v1 with him he's tanky so u'll need much Armor Penetration once again...
9	Skarner	He's rlly tanky has aslow and nice damage output and that shield of his rlly messes u up so dont think of catching him just play passive buy some wards and place them in his jungle place pink in top lane bush (river side) and tell bot to do the same in their lane adc should place pink one side mid and mid another side so all 5 pinks should be down coz of him his slow flash ult combo doesnt deal much dmg but his gank becomes rlly good coz he can make u get stuck under turret
10	Gragas	This is hard as fk u need to get that lvl 6 and ur yoummus as soon as possible this is rlly hard matchup for rengar especially if he builds tanky there's no way of beating him hne unless he's not fed and u are fed u can't duel him if u are both same score :) its just immposible
10	Hecarim	HIIIIIIGH mobility such CC that damage... this is rlly hard to beat with rengar u need that youmuus and that wont be enough u'll need ur last whisper too coz this shit is tanky and fast u wont be escaping him
10	Pantheon	HE CAN BLOCK UR Q EVERY 4TH ATTACK DONT FIGHT HIM U'LL LOSE IF HE HAS AT LEAST 1 ATTACK SPEED ITEM U ARE R.I.P.

Introduction

U all might be wondering who am i and i think noone's gonna be happy to see this but im rengar main 6 months im Silver 5 player EUNE server so if u think im just a silver scrub then leave and this guide isnt for u i have experieced alot with this champ and i know **** a ton too :)

Runes

I pick armor penetration runes Greater Mark of Armor Penetration just to pierce through tanks early games without them ur main weapon against tanks is ur q wich without lvl 5(maxed out) sucks so u have to get them as a main thing in ur runes section ;). The armor runes are great for getting some armor and block some damage from ur enemy if u get cought somewhere or if u try to catch him that's another needed option for rengar because as i said he's one heck of a SQUISHY till late game ;).Scaling health is another nice thing to have because it helps to not be that squishy and to add some competition all game to the enemy jungler even if he's tank. Attack speed is neccesary in this case because without it u hit rlly slow unless after q or empowered q so this helps to get that few basics off (especcially helpfull in jungle clears with golem buff)

Creeping / Jungling

Iwant to share my route on jungling becouse alot of u will be like wtf are u taling about dragon lvl 5 impossible and etc...

Blue team route: if i start in blue team i like to do this Red buff(smite),wolves,blue buff(smite),rift scutler (only usespells and empowered roar to heal urself that may take a bit but it's worth),krugs(smite),raptors,wolves,gromp(smite).(Back get back #1 items) and then u ward enemies path to dragon buff and u can take that solo just use empowered W and pop those potions to do it

Red team route: in red team even tough i take no help blue team route i do this blue buff(smite), wolves, red buff(smite)(sometimes u need to early smite red buff to do this because he deals more dmg than blue buff), rift scutler (no basics just spells like in blue teams route),krugs(smite),raptors,wolves,gromp(smite)then i go back buy items and go dragon ward behind dragon wall and get rift scuttler with basics and spells then kill dragon in case of escape u'll have more mobility coz of rift scutler

Team Work

In here i'll talk more about gank's than tf's because its kind of same:

Ganking top lane: wait till enemy is pushing to turret then attack when ur teammate attacks so u could burst him down BTW u are ganking so use ur empowered E to CC enemy and pick off that kill and if their ungler comes depends on who it is try to get him as well or if he's strong and fed just slow and run

Ganking mid lane: this sucks u cant gank this till level 6 coz there's no way u'll reach enemy from that bush unless ur mid is rlly good and baits them then u just stun and burst him down

Ganking bot lane: for this u need 6 as well because u need an escape if ur up against fed bot laners and they have stuns but if u are up againts like soraka and something that can't stun u can just go in stun and kill that's it

In teamfights: in TF'S just try to go in after ur tank stun first target and burst if u get low try to get some HP qickly from kitting with e or killing minions then jump in again and try to fucus adc then mid laner :)

Thunderous bongaloo

All rengar players should have heard about electric bongaloo( triple q) but this isnt electric this is thunderous and yes it means its (QUADRA Q) to do this u have to be lvl 6 so lets get started u need 4 ferocity allready stacked so u q+r jump + q+w+e+q+q it works and i have done this tons of times when i get mad at someone in game and want to kill them :D soo good luck trying this

Pros/Cons

Pros: Rengar is very mobile
Has very high burst potential
Nice gank potential
Teamworks nice with almost any champion
Nice jungle clears

Cons: Has low Hp after first clear
Needs a kill early to deal tons of damage
Needs ult to gank mid lane or any stunner
Ult is kind of weak in duels

Masteries

- this add's attack speed it's usefull to rengar to get faster clears and stun more with golems buff
- this is needed to unlock feast and this adds a few extra damage always helpfull in that case :)
- this adds scaling AD to scale nice while the game is going like if u are behind and dont have any items this will boost ur AD instead of just base lvl up power
this gives u a little sustain that will help alot when ganking and after getting that kill and leaving urself with 5 HP :) or it will just help u clear jungle better :)
Bonus AD why no???
why douldnt u want something that deals precentage of dmg against low hp?
this adds AD precentage so srsly this is needed
sustain is nice and it's rlly nice to have it rlly helps in 1v2's and tf's
this is the bit of armor/magic penetration to **** up those tanks
This help's with ur AD and clears early game so this is neccesary
Helps in ganks or invade's maybe cought's
u are jungling and even a little bit of damage from monster can screw u up big time so this will help a ton
this gives u HP to clear more jungle or be able to clear all the jungle
this makes neutral monsters bleed when they hit u and tell me 1 neutral monster that wont hit u when being attacked???? yep there's none :p only rift scutler but he doesnt count
this gives u like 50 HP so why not :P
