Early game. I am specifying early game. Bursting a tank is far from an impossibility when its ten minutes into the game, and a Talon can reach that point with much, much less than a Rengar can. A Leblanc definitely can, and a Zed can burst basically anything with three kills. A Rengar can't. For many assassins, getting a few kills early all but secures their game, for Rengar, it's entirely possible he just won't be able to make plays happen even if he gets those kills due to his long ultimate Cooldown, lack of safety in commiting, and generally low burst until he has a few items.

As for an assassin bursting a tank, even later game, quite a few of them can. It's not some impossible event, especially if the tank doesn't build resistences for your specific type of damage, or that said assassin is really fed. Leblanc does it the most often, but at times you'll see a Zed or Lee Sin kill them as well.Talon not so much outside of early game. Rengar can at full build if he's not really fed, but before that? Perhaps you need to play him a bit to understand, but his tank killing abilities are absolutely subpar, not to mention his long ass cd on ultimate makes it not even worth it to go for them even if you could potentially kill them.

Talon isn't the best example of an Assassin that can burst a tank, I know that, but before they build their tanky stuff? He can, for sure, with much less risk to hmself than Rengar can. https://youtu.be/FatJ4Lk6XAw?t=231

Sorry the videos a bit out dated, but the rest I found were more like 75-0 or 80-0. This more clearly demonstrates just how huge a chunk he can take off of the enemy "tank" early game. As talon, I've killed many junglers that try and gank me with only 3/4ths Hp. The problem is, it's often better to run because more than that much hp and it takes too much time to finish them off.

If nothing else, a Rengar will need to drop 1000 gold early on for a machete and jungle item. That's gold Talon puts towards his brutalizer.
