Rengar top feels kinda shitty?

Carried myself with rengar top to dia season 5

Right now thought,

I can get a kill pre lv. 3 and still be unable to duel my opponent later.

Meanwhile I can go 0/2 on tryndamere(which I actually play now) and still demolish my opponent.

<frustrated

Im probaly trash at rengar now, can somone show me the light pls.

If you don’t beef up in the toplane, you just get camped and easily shutdown imo.

Gotta find other ways around the lane, like ulting to mid or TP bot. It also depends how you are building him in top. If you get a good lead vs people like Garen and Poppy, and you are building Black Cleaver, Ravenous/Deaths Dance, Visage/Dead mans/Randuins, Tabi’s etc then you should not be losing to them. If you are going glass cannon then it gets difficult once they buy tabis and a chain vest or wardens mail!

Glass cannon = Roam and kill squishies

hey man, thanks for the reply.

So you're building BC into whatever you need in the situation? Your job is then more to act as an engage then an assasin right?

Pretty much this. If you have a tank in the jungle then you can afford more damage but I tend to stick to Bruiser based items because squishies can still be solo’d this way. If I get Lethality its usually ghostblade for the mobility and utility, pair that with dead mans plate and you are a real beast getting around the map without Mobi boots.

Maybe because you're overcommitting? There are matchups that even with a lead with Rengar, you have to go with short trades rather than a full on all-in. Hence why you should be almost always end with a double W at the end and after 2-3 of these rotations, you go all in.

I disagree with having to go bruiser top in order for Rengar top to work like others have stated. It still boils down to one's preferences and if full AD works for you then go for it.

Take grasp it should allow for longer lane dominance and build steraks

Ult is garbage in combat unless you're using it to gapclose without bushes, so you need to be really smart about driving home the fact that pre6 you're a monster against most champions.

This means abusing every tiny advantage you can get, cheese first blood if they have tp and you're healthy freeze it, else shove it and b, always try to freeze the wave near the closest bush to your tower and zone enemies out of XP where possible.

Roam bot with every ult, and run ignite to cheese kills since tp is dogshit.

Make sure to have some kind of situational counter item to your lane opponent if you can, like tabi if even/small lead, bramble+ionians if looking to solo carry hard with a big lead against autoattack champs. Stack CDR so you can keep your ult up, and know for certain what rengar playstyle you going if you're glass cannon then your job is to pop squishies over and over and you need lots of cdr and vision to do that effectively, and you will be useless shit if they group well so splitpush pressure to bait out your lane opponent then roaming and trying to catch their jungler/botlane on the rotation with ult is important.

If you're bruiser same thing, split top to make pressure, build slow pushes with minion waves and bruteforce fights with visage titanic cleaver that are 5v3, 5v4 etc. Q works on tower, so if noone contests your push just shove it in, I run demolish to piss away turrets in 5 seconds with aa>q>aa>aa>aa>q>aa sheen procs.

Don't get tri if you're useless and behind because you'll cut your cock off for the rest of the game by doing so, if you fall behind get cheap efficient items like cleaver or youmuus.

Stormrazor is retardbait, only get it if you're a smurf or hyper snowballing because it just eats an item slot up.
