hey guys to those who have played rengar on the PTR

are his buffs enough?
is he now viable?

he just seems really weak on live and his buffs next patch seem to be pretty lackluster
just want to get your thoughts on him from somebody who has played him


thanks!!

He's doing much better in the jungle. The extra second on his Q is actually a good buff. His new healing on his W is very good yet removes the abuse of stacking high health. His R lasts longer, which is a good buff for ganking.

I really hope his top lane improved too i miss my strong rengar :3

I play Rengar a good bit in live with decent success. Lately I've been building pure damage on him so these buffs are going to be awesome stuff.

Edit: also is the ult buff a little op? Launch Rengar had 7 seconds on the ult and that felt great for ganks. I could see 8 getting nerfed down again

Rengar uses his ulti to initiate ganks, to nerf his ulti is nerfing his jungle phase. In lane, his ulti is used to get a nice chunk of health off or used as an escape if his face is being smacked around. Extra time on his ulti won't make him OP or anything since it takes 3 seconds while getting his face beaten in to even enter the damn stealth, lol. People who have issues with his stealth being a little long can always just use a pink ward, they tend to be loved considering Eve is quite popular as of this moment if she isn't banned.

3s delay still...yes i'm counting it 3s because later in the game who in the world wouldn't keep attacking you if you're low?? (basically can't really use it as a reliable escape anymore, especially late game where 3s is enough to get you killed. seems more just initiating now). still bad. plus the new jungle creeps are getting buffed so that combined with his now nerfed W is still bad.

long cd utility only ult with the delay still...no thanks. i used to love playing him jungle and top.
