Rengar into Zacmedium

Overview

Use early brush control and stealth (R) picks to punish Zac's slower early tempo.
Prioritize river brush and camp tracking to deny Zac's jungle access and vision.
Leverage your high dueling and invade resistance to force Zac onto defensive clears.

Invade Zac's jungle when he is on opposite side or after his first clear to deny camps.
Fight for river control and Scuttle with lane priority to set up objectives and picks.
Convert tempo leads into early dragon, Rift Herald, or Void Grubs by forcing Zac defensive.

Respect Zac's level 3-4 gank threat from long-range and pull.
Avoid isolated river fights when Zac's key engage cooldowns are available or lane priority is lacking.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision as Zac's disruption can turn fights.

Start with a three-camp clear leading into river brush control if lanes have priority.
Avoid open river fights without lane support due to Zac's long-range engage and knockups.
Contest first Scuttle only when your laners can collapse first; otherwise counter-jungle opposite side camps.

Level 6 grants major pick threat with stealth and brush setups.
First lethality or damage item spike increases your dueling power to punish Zac's weaker early fights.
Zac's tank scaling and engage spike comes later; pressure him early to delay this.

Use brush control and picks to deny Zac jungle camps and force defensive pathing.
Translate early tempo into dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority enabling collapses on Zac.
Maintain river and enemy jungle vision to prevent Zac's long-range ganks and enable cross-map plays.
