Post nerfs, you more or less have 2 choices: Bruiser or Assassin.

Bruiser Rengar basically builds a mix of damage + durability, with items like FM/MoM/BC/BT/Atmas. While the most versatile, this build doesn't do as much damage as other bruisers until the mid-late stages of the game, where you can Empowered Q + Q the enemy ADC.

When ready for a teamfight, ult and hover close to your intended target (but try to stay out of sight) and decide if you need the root, or the double Q damage, before jumping in. You can either initiate if it's a gank, but if it's a full 4v4/5v5, it's better to let your initiator/tank go first, and go in 2nd.

Assassin Rengar basically plays like what the name suggests: you build almost solely damage (a bit of durability if you need it) with items like BT/BC/SotD/LW.

Just like bruiser Rengar, you stay out of sight but close to the enemy and ult. Always wait for your team to initiate in a teamfight before going in, otherwise you will get shredded in seconds. However, if ganking a single person, ensure that you have enough burst before actually commiting into the gank. Also, after double Qing, don't forget to use your root to slow your target, otherwise they will be able to escape if they survive your initial burst.

In lane, you aren't a very good duelist so don't bother trying to trade with other top laners like Xin Zhao or Olaf. Use your E to last hit from a distance and save Ferocity for W healing if needed, or if you think you can trade, jump from brush and double Q the enemy.

Another trick (though not as good now), is to jump at the enemy, trade a bit, then double W to restore your HP. This basically resets your health and allows you to have some trading power.

Rengar is really weak without Ferocity, so ALWAYS wait till you have at least 2/3 Ferocity before trying to duel/trade with your lane opponent, otherwise you will suffer.
