Let me cry about Riot's treatment with Rengar

Just that... I need to rant.. but wtf is the excuse in the patch notes??

"we're now certain that Rengar is simply too strong when piloted by players who know what they're doing"... well... isn't that the point? that if you get good at a champion or have played for many games you should be rewarded with results?

Maybe it's just paranoia on my side but last time I saw riot treat rengar with a slight bit of care was with the rework back in 2017, where I felt the AoE Q was uncomfortable to play, but had scenarios where I deleted whole teams if they grouped together.

Now Rengar can delete 1 champ at a time (which is the idea), it's super easy to counter teamcomp-wise, doesnt even have an insane clear... So I truly don't understand the mistreatment with the champion. Maybe we don't complain enough, maybe adc complaints stack more so they care more about that. I don't know. But after many years, I just feel resignation that we will always have to play a broken or underpowered champion and still make it work somehow.. not because the champ works, but because I feel Rengar mains are too devoted to the champ.

Just that, thanks for letting me vent.
