OMG 51% winrate in Plat+ games, legit too oppressive!!!
I could give two shits if "the champ itself is fine" if he maintains the ability to instantly kill your carries from stealth before anyone has any time to fucking react. Short of periodically placing a pink in the middle of your team when you're grouped there is very fucking little you can do when mobi-boots rengar youmuus into your team and you barely have enough time to catch a glimpse of the little exclamation mark before he crits your adc for 1.2k+ and then zips away at 800 movespeed. The point of a fucking assassin is to punish poor positioning on the part of squishies, eg: farming botlane alone. They should NOT be able to punish carries that are sitting in the middle of their team at base.
Let me paint a picture for you. Jinx is next to her Lulu and a Zed wants to kill her. Lulu can ult, shield, poly the zed, any number of shit to stunt his would be assassination attempt. That is counterplay. With rengar you stealth in and go balls deep into the carry before Lulu can even react. The audio and visual cue is fucking negligible come lategame compared to a similar stealth approach (Talon shoots blades out in all fucking directions, and even then his ult only lasts a few seconds. Rengo lasts 12).
You CANNOT position against a champion that can deal upwards of 2,000 damage in under a second
from stealth, you CANNOT provide adequate vision to see him coming since the changes, and you CANNOT tell me he's "easy to beat with a simple brain."
"D'ohoho fuckin' yeah, Rango is ezpz if your SOLO QUEUE team with little to no communication builds themselves around him, stacks themselves on any and all squishy members at all points in a teamfight, and then the adc gets an hourglass." Is it possible? No shit. Is it
FAIR? Absolutely fucking not. No other champion in the game demands that kind of response. You should not need to build your entire team around the existence of a single assassin in order to even consider a win.

Then why even fucking bother writing the first half of this post if it's just a case of misplaced priorities?

Who the fuck even mentioned reddit? I don't care if Faker himself took a shit that spelled out "pls nerf rengar" and streamed it on twitch, this is happening in the game when it should not be.
And what's with your hardon for rank? If that's the only way you'll even listen to what I'm writing then I'll tell you I'm plat 4, and can say with certainty that a plat+ rengar main does indeed possess the ability the gib the carry and scoot himself back to his fountain in under a second.
