How to Play This Matchup
Mid-Game Showdown
Both champions spike around the same time. The player who gets their first item faster wins. Focus on CS leads and smart trades to build an advantage before the mid-game.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.

Rengar Win Condition
Bush leap combos, R stealth assassinate, snowball kills
Garen Win Condition
Silence + spin trades, execute with R, simple and effective
