There are a lot of different build paths for Rengar, but several of them are overperforming in the early stages of the game. We’re cutting down on some extra power while preserving most of his scaling.

- Editor's Note: Patch notes seem to account for level 0.
Rengar has many different builds, but investing in durability is currently under-rewarded compared to some of the higher damage build options. We’re focusing on giving a boost to Battle Roar as the skill that is highly important for those tankier builds but not as relevant for the high-damage setups.
Battle Roar
- Base damage increased from 50/90/130/170 to 60/100/140/180.
- Damage taken stored as Grey Health increased from 50% to 60%.
Thrill of the Hunt
- Duration reduced from 12/16/20 seconds to 12/14/16.
- Cooldown reduced from 100/80/60 seconds to 90/75/60.
As players have optimized Rengar’s builds around some of the items and system changes we’ve made over the last few patches, this cat has scratched up the wrong tree and landed into nerf-worthy territory. We’re cutting down on some Rengar’s early Attack Damage in order to slightly slow his clearspeed in the jungle and reduce some of the powerful synergy he has with Sheen items.
Stats
- Base attack damage reduced from 64 to 58.
Rengar’s early game is too strong at the moment. Tweaking down his early game so he can’t snowball as easily as before.
Stats
- Base armor reduced from 45 to 40.
- Base attack damage reduced from 70 to 64.
Rengar is overbearing in high-skilled play, but just somewhat strong for most players. We’re adjusting the Pridestalker’s power during the early game, allowing space for opponents to punish him before he has snowballed.
Battle Roar
- Base damage reduced from 80/110/140/170 to 50/90/130/170.
Bola Strike
- Slow reduced from 45/60/75/90% to 30/50/70/90%.
Thrill of the Hunt
- Cooldown increased from 90/75/60 seconds to 100/80/60.
We’re exterminating the bugs that have been plaguing knifekitty since release. This will affect his power, particularly skilled Rengar players, so we will be keeping an eye out in upcoming patches to see if we need to adjust him.
Unseen Predator
- Bug Fix: Attacking an enemy in melee range while in brush with 0 Ferocity now grants 1 Ferocity.
Battle Roar
- Bug Fix: Casting Battle Roar after Empowered Battle Roar will correctly heal him.
Knifekitty is too reliable about deleting enemies from the map. In particular, we want to close the gap between his bruiser build and his assassin build.
Base Stats
- Base AD per level: 5.5 → 3.6AD at Level 15: 147 → 121
