Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight if you land your E dash to close the gap and chain Q autos to proc your passive repeatedly, as your sustained damage output and mobility outpace Rengar's burst window when he has no stacks.
From level 6, you win the 1v1 by forcing extended trades rather than letting Rengar reset with his W heal; use your E to dodge his empowered Q and keep auto-attacking to stack passive, as his burst is front-loaded and you out-sustain him in prolonged fights.

Rengar will almost always start Red Buff side (Red > Krugs > Raptors or Red > Raptors > Wolves) to stack his Ferocity quickly and look for an early gank on a squishy lane, often reaching level 3 slightly faster than standard due to his passive camp bonus.
Expect him to prioritize lanes with easy CC setup and to avoid early jungle fights unless he has full Ferocity stacked.

You should invade Rengar at his second buff around 3:15–3:30 if you know his starting side, because at that point he has burned Ferocity on camps and cannot instantly burst you with a stacked empowered Q.
Target his Blue Buff if he started Red, as catching him between camps without stacks is the window where your sustained damage and mobility give you a clear advantage.

Do not walk into brush or narrow jungle corridors carelessly, because Rengar's passive gives him a free leap from brush and his stacked empowered Q can delete a significant portion of your HP before you can respond with your own combo.
Avoid fighting him when he has 4–5 Ferocity stacks, as that is his entire win condition in a short trade.
