Rengaru safe?

WHAT?

Rengar is totally reliant on snowball he ain't safe at all.

His laning phase is not as easy as other champions who have a low cd spam spell to farm as Zed.

He either goes balls deep to lvl2-3 firstbloods maxing Q or just endlessly poke with maxing E and pushing enemies out of lane or eventually killing them once you get ult.

Before the double cast he could heal+damage at the same time, still it doesn't mean he farms safely as Zed or any other champ with a low cd ranged spell.

I agree that every assassin is risky by nature, but some of them are actually safe in lane as Zed, and you should know by experience assassins don't need kills if they can farm very efficiently, the real risk comes not in mid game skirmishes, but in teamfights where you can be interrupted by people during ult or somewhat focused and killed.

Rengar cannot "wreck faces with little effort" even before the fix he got, he had to have some early advantage in someway.

Unless you are referring to the old Rengar who got buffed after Release, he was just plain overpowered as his base damages allowed him to be a bruiser with the burst of a full ad assassin.
