Now that BC doesn't build out of brut, what do I get instead of it?
I've tried getting straight out damage instead, such as IE or Essence Reaver. Yes, Essence Reaver. It gives much needed cooldown reduction. I will update the guide once I cam :)
Now that BC doesn't build out of brut, what do I get instead of it?
Rengar does well with Youmuu's. Or you can buy phage instead of brut and build BC still. Or Warrior enchant if you go jung. IMO the early Rage passive is as good as if not better than the early A Pen, so going early Phage won't hurt, especially with the health it gives.
Btw,recently, I've been seeing Rengars build phantom dancer recently. Do you think this is as strong as a build without it? I usually don't like building too much crit on Rengar because I feel like youmuus and infinity edge are enough. Phantom dancer does give some ms though, but I still am not completely sure about building it.
Phantom Dancer gives more damage outside the combo, which is where this build eventually falls behind. I've seen those too, and they seem to go for a different build order as well. I haven't tested Phantom Dancer as much, I used to use it some time ago, but feel like it's a more agressive style when you build Phantom Dancer and it's more forgiving for not insta killing your target. I've normally ran a defensive item istead of the Phantom Dancer, such as Banshee's Veil, which gives me the time I need when I jump into their team. You could sell boots for Phantom Dancer in the latest stages of the game, and swap your def item with Infinity Edge. This would give you insane amounts of damage outside the combo as well. This will make you much more vulnerable though! Definately try it out, and I'll give some feedback once I've seen into the matter. Exams are over now so I can play more :D

I would like to thank you again for the guide, it really helped a lot. The new season placed me in b4 but I used your guide to climb out in a mere 2-4 days back to silver. I no longer play Rengar in ranked since I have a harder time being able to choose an assassin jungler with my team comps, but I still play him in norms, and your build makes it a lot of fun.
P.S.
You might want to mention that using 5 stacks on "q" can help you win fights even when you're low, because of the attack speed and ad, which can help you kill the target before they can finish you off. Some new players to Rengar (like when I was new to him) don't know how powerful you're empowered "q" makes you.
Also, if you're against Kha'zix, you might want to mention that if you cannot one shot him and you have equal gold, he can avoid a lot of your damage with his ult invisibility, which, if he uses it correctly both times, can avoid your empowered "q" attack speed and damage buff, while also setting up his passive. This makes it relatively dangerous to fight Kha'zix while unsure about your oneshot capabilities.
Thanks for the guide, it was a lot of fun and help!
Thank you :) I'm happy that I could help you improve your gameplay! It's good to see that you understand the importance of team composition and choose to stay away from Rengar when it's needed. However as I say in the guide, don't play something you're not comfortable with even if it means your team comp becomes better. If you trust in your Rengar, definitely play it as much as you'd like. :) I would say that a team comp doesn't come in that much untill playt or at least high gold, but understanding it in the first place is a huge step!
As you say, the enpowered "Q" instead of "W" can in a lot of cases result in a better outcome in close fights. Those I refer to are those when you would die immidiately if not using enpowered "W", but I use "Q" if I know that I can spare the "W".
Fighting Kha'Zix can be a problem indeed, but in short, Rengar should win any fight if put on equal foot. The stealth can mess up your combo, so try to not spam right click when flying through the air (passive can mess up your damage). See if you can aim your "E" to counter juke Kha'Zix once he enters stealth, so that if he runs another direction, aim your "E" where you think he would go. He can't fight you through your enpowered "Q" even if you miss the "E".
As always, thank you for posting :) I wish I could spectate or otherwise give you some tips and tricks that I learned underway maining Rengar, but as exams are all over the place these days I'm having almost no time to play. Maybe in june or something I can start teaching people more if they want to :)
Best Regards

Hey. Thanks for taking your time to contact me :) I have alot of work these days, so I rarely get time to spectate. If you can record it using either XSplit or something I can view later that would be awesome :)
I would gladly view it to make sure your skills and experience with Rengar improves.
Best Regards - 5 Ferocity

However, I like to build tiamat after the skirmisher's sabre and boots as I feel I can do a lot of burst with it early.
Would love to see this fking Vlad in very hard matchup.
Indeed. This build is what you need to punish champions who think their abilites and reaction can save them!
