Win through macro: Rengar takes the matchup (52.95%) despite falling behind in CS (6.23 vs 6.64/min). Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Complete superiority: Rengar dominates both win rate (53.0%) and damage output (783 vs 738/min, 2nd among Jungle). The 45 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Rengar wins the matchup (53.0%) despite a lower KDA (2.30 vs 2.70). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

The Rengar versus Zed matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Rengar deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Zed deals mainly physical damage (88.18%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Zed, ranking 12th (versus 24th for Rengar) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Rengar player to maintain constant pressure on Zed, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
