Rengar could do with some help closing the gap when ganking. Given that his leap is brush dependent. Which depending on whether your blue or purple team can be troublesome.

Though with generally good play and good teamwork Rengar shouldn't need the bonus range on his leap and allowing him easy access to such a bonus also greatly enhances his juking and fleeing ability which could lead to more balance headaches.

I do agree that Rengars kit/stats should help him jungle more effectively than he currently does. Perhaps not bonus damage on the roar but instead higher armor bonuses at lower ranks? or maybe it could lower the ad of nearby minions and monsters? from a sort of demoralizing/fear aspect. (similar to volibears shout fearing minions)

Really needs to buff early jungle phase and that's all he probably needs. Every time I jungle, I always have to port back to base because my hp is less than 100 and I still haven't made it to red and double Golem. It's ridiculous! Isn't this guy made for Jungling? I can't even stay in Jungle w/ 5 pots + cloth.
By that time, my teammates and enemy is at lv 4 or 5 and I'm around lv 2.

About his role, he feels like an assassin but more off-tank...well, at least that's how I play him.
I'll keep playing him even if i lose my games...so screw you nerf....rengar will be played in all of my games even if he is weak becuase i really love his kit.

thanks for the tip alfav

Well he was nerfed for his laning, so I feel it is only fair is jungle is buffed to compensate.

I play Rengar quite a bit and think it's pretty simple how to fix him.

1st he is a lion, that should make him king of the jungle. Right now he is like prince clumsy kitten.

Bone Necklace - Drop the cost to 300 gold
It should give +10 damage and 20% bonus damage against monsters + kill/assistant leveling as is.

Why?

It makes it so you can start with it immediately, it replaces machete and makes it so you don't waste an inventory slot through the machete tree and already have your own personal jungling buff. If you want to lane well it is like having a longsword with extra perks as you go.

Empowered Battle Roar - 5-10-15-20% health gain.

Yeah 20% is a lot, but that's at level 4 and any really its a great survival sustain ability that would make team fights not as scary.

Empowered Bola Strike - Doesn't root target, but gap closes and pulls target to rengar and rengar to target.

Why?
Gap Closing is why. This gives rengar the ability with full Ferocity to gap close without grass and without ult. making it actually really handy chasing someone down (pending you have the Ferocity built up) It also ads to his ganking ability without having to use his ult. Basically how it works is throw bola. Target is pulled to him (think Thresh) but Rengar then uses the tension to leap a short distance at the target.

[B]Thrill of the Hunt[B]
.5 Sec before stealth no damage. 1.5 seconds taking damage

Why?
It's obviously too long.

So what does this all do?

- Rengar has a built in Jungling attack added to his Bone Necklace allowing him to skip the machete build items

- His heal is Percentage of Health up to a max of 20% of total health

- His Empowered Bolo Strike gives him gap closing

- His Ult is much quicker activating, but still penalizes him taking damage. Just not to a ridiculous level.
