Got bodied pretty hard by Rengar yesterday and was kind of stumped by how to beat him. Based on stats he should be an easy matchup but I quickly got zoned out of my jungle due to lack of vision and getting chunked from a bush constantly.

What are y'all doing to beat him? I've played against him a few times and always struggled, even when taking the early raptor into buff cheese I just get out-ganked then out scaled later (Gold rank so probably also missing something important in general vs assassin's)

I've been seeing a lot of posts recently about builds and it seems like sentiment is shifting away from the conventional kraken/stride and kraken/Bork.

What unconventional items builds is everyone having luck with at the moment? Personally I'm finding kraken into navori to be a workhorse given both items are so cheap and can spike way earlier than other builds, with Bork 3rd allowing me to solo baron very easily - ability to do this is winning me games alone in pisslow gold assuming i don't int the first 15 mins

Is anyone having luck with profane hydra first? It's a bit cheaper than kraken and could allow a faster item spike, but wondering if people are finding the 150g difference to matter over the strong synergy of kraken.
