While Rengar does have a lower winrate than Ekko, when on opposite teams, Rengar also has a greater difficulty level that makes him a more challenging character to pick up and master. You should be careful when picking Rengar into Ekkoas his relative depth means you may not be able to reach his full potential without a lot of practice beforehand.
Furthermore, Rengar has only a small amount of utility and CC, a similar amount to Ekko. This makes her just as valuable during team fights, especially when facing champions with a ton of burst damage.

Rengar on average gets less CS compared to Ekko. Champions who typically don't acquire many minion kills usualy don't have to have much CS to be valuable teammates, such as support champions.
