I wouldn’t do it if they had a jungler who would be inclined to gank at level 2, but there’s no real downside to it against most top laners, especially early on. I honestly think most people will just check his items at the start, and have the jungler come top if he starts Doran’s.
The first blood thing with Rengar is actually easy to accomplish. It’s the rest of the game that’s sketchy lol. I’ve been sucking with him pretty badly. First game was horrible, got first blood but traded, traded 2nd kill too, then Wukong proceeded to beat my face in. Fought a Nidalee top next game and didn’t get the first blood because she was smart enough to stay out of range.
It might have been just a team comp issue but I found myself being the initiator most team fights and had to build him really tanky. I went with wriggles, warmogs, atmas, mallet, GA and was able to ulti into position to blow up a carry and start a team fight without getting insta gibbed.
I really like him in lane but I need more games with him, I still suck. He’s not herp derp easy like Darius. I need to get some jungle games in with him too.
I can see some nice potential in Rengar’s ultimate, I just gotta learn how to apply it successfully. It’s got a relatively short cooldown and a pretty long duration. I’ve been able to easily escape ganks and instances I should have surely died with it many times, and it’s served me well initiating team fights. I’m sure it’s a wonderful gank tool also but I haven’t had much opportunity there yet.
Edit: Reading Rengar’s backstory, sounds like he lost an eye to ChoGath haha.
I played a game, we were losing because the Diana player fed.
and kept bossing us around and calling us noobs when he had like 0/16/0
Everyone else was doing fairly well, It was just pretty dumb and then he raged quit when we won haha.
