How to Beat Rengar as Warwick (Jungle)

The Warwick versus Rengar matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Warwick deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Rengar deals mainly physical damage (86.98%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Rengar, ranking 12th (versus 53rd for Warwick) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Warwick Jungle versus Rengar Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Warwick player to maintain constant pressure on Rengar, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
