Kindred vs Rengar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's ranged kit and mark control to contest river fights only when nearby lanes have priority.
Prioritize scaling through marks and ranged objective damage over early risky invades against Rengar's brush control and pick threat.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears with mark access and only contest enemy camps when lane priority guarantees safe entry and exit.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lanes can support you first, then use ranged (Q) and (E) to kite Rengar in skirmishes.
Track Rengar's pathing through brush-heavy routes and be ready to counter-gank his early invades to deny his pick attempts and objective setups.

Danger windows

Beware early invade attempts when Rengar's lanes have priority and he can leap from brush for empowered (E) root.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Rengar's stealth (R) and brush control enable lethal picks.
Respect forced smite fights during early dragons or Rift Herald when Rengar can create numbers advantage through picks.

Early game

Start with a path that secures early marks and sets vision before entering enemy jungle to avoid Rengar's brush ambushes.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and provide cover for safe river control.
Avoid fighting Rengar early without lane priority, as his empowered (E) root and brush mobility give him strong early dueling.

Power spikes

Kindred spikes with marks and (R) for extended objective fights; use these to control dragon and Rift Herald.
Respect Rengar's early level power spike near brush and his post-6 pick threat from (R) stealth hunts.
Exploit Rengar's weaker open river fights by kiting and trading when he is forced out of brush control.

Win conditions

Use lane priority to secure marks safely and kite river fights to deny Rengar early tempo and scaling.
Convert ranged objective damage and (R) resets into strong dragon and Rift Herald control.
Track and counter-gank Rengar's invades, punishing overextensions to deny his camp tempo and scale faster into a late-game carry.
