All the Rengars I've been seeing are employing this really unique strategy that I'm not sure I understand.

First, you buy Bonetooth Necklace. Then you feed a ton. That's it.

I'm not sure how it works, since you typically want to stay alive with a snowball item, but every one I've seen so far has done this instead.

[Techhead]

Is this an actual strategy or are you just being snarky about people being really bad at Rengar?

Technically, both?

[penguinofhonor]

I'm being snarky about people being bad at Rengar, and then making their situation worse by buying a snowball item when they're feeding.

[frostshotgg]

Actually, Bonetooth is actually not that bad when you feed. You only lose one stack on death. You can easily walk out of a teamfight with 4 more stacks than you went in with.

   Yay me! First win ever and its a good one. Overall my team seemed more competent then not and because I had played Nunu before I was able to be a very effective jungler. Especially since I figured out that my E is great for ganking so I only put a point in Q then went straight E when I could. It of course helped that the enemy did not have anyone in the jungle so I was able to pop in behind the enemy even after some turrets went down.

Well, that's sort of a problem because Rengar doesn't have AoE. (I think his W doesn't do damage)
It could probably be remedied by getting an aura or active item. I'm sure Rengar would enjoy a Randuin's Omen, though, so you could just pop that every teamfight. Unless you don't get assists through items.

[penguinofhonor]

I still feel like a Rengar could be making better item choices if he's doing bad.

Yeah, it's an efficient flat AD item that sometimes gives you a little stat bonus, but it's all offensive stuff and a Rengar who's losing really needs to be investing in surviability instead of damage.

Also I'll admit I've only seen five Rengars, but I have yet to see one with less than 9 deaths. I know he's not that hard, guys. Stop jumping into my team when you have no real escapes. They never even have the sense to jump into a team when their ult is up.

this wikia says it does.

Anyway, it seems he would benefit being built as a classic offtank (melee, no dash to escape, and a single target slow...) with frozen mallet & atma, maybe a ghostblade, ... ??
(haven't seen him yet, being in europe and currently at work...)

by the way, is he playable as a jungler ?

[Graven]

Rengar seems really squishy, and mostly fitting an assassin role, not a tanky bruiser.

This is a problem I've been seeing a lot of in Dominion, where Rengars either get fed and do decent with damage oriented builds, or feed like massive tools with tanky builds.

On this subject, I bought Rengar for Dominion, but I can't play him, since people are faster than my old pc, so I bought Olaf to dominate bad Rengars. This leaves me with about 5800 IP, and I've been meaning to pick up a good AP caster for Dom.

Should I go for Orianna, or Malzahar? I'm planning to mostly go top, but the occasional bot is inescapable. I haven't tried either of them recently, and I've been waiting for three weeks to have one of them free, and I'm tired. Which would be better? This is strictly for Dominion, mind.

edit : recently =/= soon

[Frumple]

Gragas! Gragas was pretty fun in dominion the few times I've tried 'im. Otherwise I'd guess orianna. She seems to be a more pure caster than Malz, and the orb thingy seems to give a bit more utility.

[Repulsion]

The thing about dominion is that tanky DPS rules. Support and AP casters usually fall off pretty hard, which is why I mainly don't play dominion.

Also, I build Rengar like a tanky DPS. He isn't very squishy at all if you build him right, and his W really helps with tankyness.

Triforce is pretty decent on him, as is Ghostblade.

He is playable as a jungler, and his W+Empowered W can clear camps quite fast, but he isn't the best jungler.

ryze works well in dominion

[Jopax]

Also Xerath and Lux I'd wager, they both do very nice damage and their rather long ranges help with defending points, plus as most of the map is visible sniping low health enemies is quite easy too.

[Bordellimies]

Malzahar doesn't work well in Dominion at all. You'll get stuck on bottom and there's rarely a mage to go anti-mage on.

Ryze would be a fine choice, yes, as may Lux or Brand.
