Olaf's late is really strong (and he's a bruiser, but it always exists an exeption to a rule. i know there's more bruisers then him that's good late, but i pretty much only play olaf as a late bruiser so i dont really remember exactly which ones). Rengar seems MUCH more like an assassin to me then an actual bruiser. For the reasons of:

a on-hit Q that have a pretty horibad base dmg but really great scaling (with 5 ferocity)

E being a really strong lategame target slow preventing any pesky flashers escaping from you (assassin-ish even though bruisers also got spells like this)

W being a defensive boost/sustain (makes it possible for him NOT to get instantly raped by AD carries autoattacks or AP carries abilities even when building squishy)

R being an escape/engage ability enabling him the use of his passive no matter where he is.

The problem with Rengar is that he falls in the same category of "bruiser/assassin" as Xin and Irelia. The reason these have either been "UP" or "OP" is because they are bruiser assassins. AKA having a ability kit with abilites both assassins and bruisers have, making it incredibly hard to balance.

If played assassin, think like a beast on the hunt, waiting for the oppurtune moment to strike the unawere enemy and sinking your fangs/claws into his/her sorry behind faster then he/she can react.

If played bruiser, play him and build him like Irelia with a bit more care for incomming CC and get Maw of Malmortius instead of Wit's End, because your inbuilt AS steroid with trinity is more then you will ever need.
