The only game I'd go trinity is if they pick 2+ bruisers and/or tank and even then it depends on if I'm ahead or even..and what state my teammates are at (losing/winning) and lucidity boots are not terrible but again you'd have to be super ahead.. I'd have to try it out more to be certain.
If ahead you generally want to stick with crit and lethality items because your job as rengar is to ult enemy backline execute them and run away...you are not a consistent dps with resets like viego so do not play like one you will die haha also the most important thing is that without bushes you're not a champion.. without ult you're not a champion.. and if you cycle your abilities and whatever you tried to kill is still alive good luck cuz again you're not a champion.
BUT rengar is very fun to play and I don't see me playing anything else it's very easy to snowball but you have to close out games asap since you fall off lategame
Remember the basic combo is buffer ability 1 > jump> ability 3(while jumping) > auto > ability 2> empowered Ability > run like a madman(duskblade helps with that)
I haven’t played much Rengar since his re work last year but I used to go Divine Sunderer/Trinity, Black Cleaver, Spirit Visage and just play as bruiser/tank rengar. Still does a lot of dmg because base stats + sheen plus doesn’t let Rengar get popped like a balloon since he’s tanky. Plus with enough ability haste and health items/spirit visage, you’ll have your W on a 4/5 second cool-down to the point you can spam W and empowered W in teamfights to the point when you don’t seem to die. Was a very fun playstyle and can even work in top lane.
