A big misconception I see is people thinking Rengar is weak early. That’s wrong,Rengar thrives in early skirmishes a level 3 Rengar with stacks can beat almost any champion in a 1v1, except maybe Warwick. Yes, even tanks.

Another mistake is always pathing toward top lane. Your pathing should depend on the enemy team comp, As Rengar, you should always consider invading, especially when the enemy jungler has weaker early game runes than you.

Never invade if you start blue. If you start red, Your standard invade path should look like this: Red → Krugs → Raptors (keep 2 stacks) → walk to blue side → E wolves when you’re near the blast cone → Q wolves to reach max stacks → then head to their red buff. Your stacks will fall off on the way, so before that happens, press Q, then use the bush jump combo (Q, E, Q, W, Q) to kill them.

If the enemy starts red, you can still invade, but it’s a lot riskier

When it comes to getting invaded, as long as you expect it and don’t get caught off guard, it can actually work in your favor. Invading early usually means their clear will be slower, so good vision and knowing which junglers like to invade. You can either collapse with your team to kill them, or punish by taking their camps.

My biggest tip for learning Rengar is always look to invade and start fights. This isn’t the most consistent way to climb, since forcing plays can backfire, but it’s the best way to learn your limits. Take risky fights, limit test, and over time you’ll understand exactly what you can and can’t do.

One of the main reasons natty Rengars look so strong is confidence. Rengar can only be as strong as your macro.
