I don't mean to talk like a know-it-all or in spite of this comment, but I don't think Riot's rework for Rengar was ultimately to "stop him from blowing up carries with little reaction". If that was the case, wouldn't they do that to most Assassins anyway? No Rengar's rework I feel was to cause scaling for all empowered abilities based on RENGAR's current level (the same way his empowered W was for a while). That way, you cant just max your Q/E up first and have massive base damages on both the regular skill and empowered skill. Granted, they brought normal Q back up to how it was after they nerfed all empowered skills but they also reduced the time period that you have to AA with the Q (similar to TF's Pick A Card). However they did nerf his E by making it a skill shot. Sure its able to fly farther than the target allowed him before, but its now harder to poke at champions within minion waves who otherwise have a target skill (ie: Malphite, Pantheon)

Yes, they still did a good job of maintaining his strength in assassinating targets, if not increasing that capability. Their rework however slightly affected the strength spike he would get on his empowered skills purely from leveling up any of his 3 spells.

Personally, I'm not sure how to feel about the new ult. Its nice to give the enemies a heads up (for a while, I thought the rework was going to include an audible notification as well as the " ! " above their heads), but his nerfed speed boost while stealthed makes it far harder to chase up to targets. Granted, you gain more speed post steath, but before you didnt have any speed post stealth. You were just stealth boosting in onto your target, nuke them, and then try to walk away.

As far as this "bug" goes with his lengthened combo of free spell casts, I've never heard of it until today. I never did it, as far as I'm concerned, and I still like the way he plays. Don't nerf his ult anymore, and if you need....reduce the base damages on the normal Q back to what it was on rework. I've looked into the bug for free spell casts and what its capable of doing. Of course Riot needs to remove that as soon as possible. From what I read, its been a bug for a year or so now (posts 9 months ago claimed it was an 8 month old bug) and it's still around (and is possibly the reason that he's banned from LCS).

Please feel free to tell me where I'm wrong.
