Buff Suggestion Rengar’s Leap Speed
Hey fellow Rengar mains,
With the release of patch 14.10, it’s clear that our favorite kitty could use a bit of a boost, his winrate sitting at a mere 47% at diamond 2+ and even worse in lower elos. We've all been asking for this for years, and I think it's time we make our voices heard again.
The Buff We Need: Increase Rengar’s leap speed from 1450 back to its old value of 1600.
Why this change?
Maintain Game Balance Without Boosting One-Shot Potential: We don't want to make Rengar’s one-shot capabilities stronger, which is a common concern. Increasing leap speed enhances his playmaking ability and fluidity without impacting his damage output significantly.
Historical Precedent: Rengar’s leap speed used to be 1600, and it felt much better for engaging and making quick plays. The current leap speed feels sluggish in comparison and hampers his ability to execute the high-speed plays that made him so thrilling to play.
Keeping Up with the Meta: With the new patch, Rengar’s overall effectiveness has diminished. A slight increase in leap speed would help him stay competitive in the current meta, where mobility and quick engagements are crucial.
A Mistake from the Past: The leap speed was originally lowered because of feedback from a Redditor. In hindsight, this was a mistake that negatively impacted Rengar’s gameplay. It’s time to correct this and bring back the old speed that made Rengar feel so responsive and dynamic.
Additional Suggestion: If further balance is needed, consider increasing the bonus damage of his W against monsters. This would help maintain his jungle clear speed and ensure he can keep up with other meta junglers without impacting his damage against champions.
Let’s rally together and get Riot to notice. It’s a small change that could make a big difference for all of us who love playing Rengar.
What do you all think? Let’s discuss and maybe we can get some traction on this idea.
