NattyNatt Dominates Korean Solo Queue with Double Hop Tech

Mastering Rengar's Double Hop Technique

Nattynat has made a remarkable impact on the Korean solo queue scene with his exceptional Rengar gameplay. Currently ranked in the top 20, with a commanding 80% win rate on a champion often overlooked, Nattynat's success has become a double-edged sword. While inspiring many to attempt Rengar, this champion's overall solo queue performance has declined, underlining the skill needed to play him effectively.

To emulate Nattynat's success, mastering the "double hopping" technique can give you an edge. This simple but powerful tactic allows Rengar to outmaneuver opponents by covering unexpected distances instantly. The basic concept is to leap from a brush to a target using Rengar's basic attack, then immediately reset the leap with his Q ability for a second jump. This can catch opponents off-guard, especially those unfamiliar with Rengar's mechanics.

Steps to Perform Double Hopping

Leap to an enemy from a brush using Rengar's basic attack.
Use the Q auto reset to immediately leap again to another target.
To simplify execution, enable the "auto attack move on cursor" setting.
Auto attack the initial target, attack move near your main target, and press Q during the leap for a quick reset.
This technique, though straightforward, is invaluable for gaining an advantage. Training in the practice tool for even a short time can significantly sharpen your execution of this move.

Example Play by Nattynat

Nattynat's tactical prowess shines in a play against Blitzcrank. As he approaches a fight in the top lane, Nattynat anticipates Blitzcrank's movement to ward a brush. Quickly, he initiates an attack move command. The moment Blitzcrank places the ward, Nattynat uses a Q reset to leap onto Blitzcrank, executing a swift burst that leaves no room for reaction.

Nattynat's utilization of these tactics showcases how even simple maneuvers can outplay high-level opponents and redefine a champion's perceived capabilities.
