Renekton changes: Buff or nerf or...both??

I don't wanna come off too "ranty" or anything but after reading the renekton changes I was like...huh?? I rarely even see or play him anymore and these changes will only be useful when he is facing other melee top laners that cant out trade him. The problem is that there are so many ranged top laners now that they can abuse the hell out of these changes by punishing him every time he tries to get close enough to hit them in order to stack any real amount of fury. Not to mention they can also harass him when he tries to gain it through hitting minions.

On the other hand, if Renekton can bully the other champ, these changes will help him snowball harder.. So Im left a little confused..he now gets to further dominate a lane that he would already win, OR he just gets screwed twice as much when in a lane that would already be tough for him.

In the end, I think it is more of a nerf than anything but all of the tweaks are just....wierd

It's kind of like a buff vs melee's (which he doesnt need) and a nerf vs ranged (which he doesnt need).

Honestly it does sound like it is much more of a "win more" condition while on the other hand it doesn't. It sounds like he would be much more manageable to fight since he is getting fury less. At least from minions.

Just by reading it, it almost sounds like a net nerf.

Ranged top is due to the Riot's overlook on the fundamental class difference between ranged and melee besides the latter has some extra hp and slightly higher base defense stats.

Which should be regulated anytime soon before the whole game is made out of ranged characters, which kinda is already besides the support (really debatable) and jungle scene.

a small nerf to his laneing, a small buff for his teamfighting
