With Regards to the Rengar rework

I started LOL about a year and a half ago, and since I first grinded to 6300 ip i knew i wanted to buy Rengar. I saw a big lion with a knife and i was hooked, and it was my first introduction to the assasin playstyle that had become my favourite style to play. When i saw he was getting reworked (along with my 3rd favouite champion Zed) i was understandably worried that 2 of my best champions were gunna change. But change is good right? I knew the communities feelings about Rengar, toxic, not fun to play against ect: so maybe

Zeds changes were so minor and didnt effect his gameplay all to much but I have some serius issues about Rengar i think need to be adressed.

The worst part about him is that I dont find him as fun anymore, his q is akward and the ult can ruin his day, moreover i worry about how he may turn into ekko 2.0 becuase of how good the tank build is for him. This is what also makes Tank renagr really strong becuase of its ridiculous base damage on his new q, ive played a few games with the tank build of - item 3071 item 3812 item 3065 item 3742 item 3026 item 3047 and had great sucess, but again, its not the assasin rework that you promised to keep the same about rengar. He is LITERALLY a nuke now, diving in and hitting one q before dying but killing the adc, which is what makes the tank build so good on him, becuase you can still kill the adc and live with a tank build (ergo ekko), but thats not an assasin that we know. I think that old rengar was fine and his rework should ahve been incuded in the lesser changes rather than the big ones, becuase the oppertunity was wasted on him here. He doesnt feel as smooth to play, it isnt a fast heart racing kill its just you spamming the q becuase you didnt get the full damage and spamming abilities to get ferocity back. Ironically thats how poeple used to play him, and although you do have to think about which empowered ability you need to use, in almost all cases its q still. Honestly i just much prefered the old rengar becuase of his smooth 1 shot potential and just how much fun he was gaining stacks and feeling yourself becoming stronger, which i dont get with this build.

Now there are many posative changes with this rework, i really like using his w as a qss/heal and it feels strong enough to sacrifice q for it in some occasions, and im happy you retained most of his passive and ult too, becuase that holds rengars identity as this sneaky assasin. But the main fault lies in the q. Honesyly in about a month i will be completely used to it, but i feel it would have worked better in a similar way to rivens q and how that worked with you being able to activatre the second q later on rather than having it as one skillshot ability and not being a skillshot persay but an activation that goes with your cursor, that would make him more smooth. He just feels clunky and isnt reataining this ides a of a smooth assasin that zed, kat and lb have with their reworks. To me it seems more like instead of helping the kitty, you just put him down. Youd di try with the ult and e changes earlier in the season, but this is honestly too much.

This is turning into a rant, so ill sum up my opinion here and pose a question. Can Rengar ever be switched back like Kog Maw did but reatain a few of the posative changes like his ult and ult? These are my concerns with him ebcuase he really is a champion i trasure deeply and i know other Rengar players disliek the changes, specifically the ones to his q being a skillshtoi and not an auto reset.
