I think i'm misunderstanding something about the new Rengar W.

They want to add counterplay, but give him a cleanse and cc immunity for 1.5 seconds for his empowered(is that the right term?) W, so i'm trying to run scenarios down where i, as the adc, don't get obliterated, and the rengar doesn't just walk away. Maybe i'm just not that well versed in rengar's kit. Nevertheless i have rengar ptsd and he will become a perma ban for me.

If you're an ADC that's positioning correctly Rengar just lost his ability to jump to you in teamfights with ultimate. He's also lost the quick ulti+empowered Q+Q combo. His ability to one shot you has just gone dramatically.

Though he does have to sacrifice his ferocity for that which is the bonus damage in his Q or his root snare. :O

Yes, he gets a cleanse on his regular W. Only his Ferocity W gives him the immunity.

His Q is now a delayed skillshot.

He loses Ferocity once outside of combat extremely quickly. He can gain Ferocity without using his abilities on enemies/neutral monsters. Leaping from a brush gives a Ferocity stack.

His ultimate is now Evelynn-style meaning nearby enemies can see him. His ultimate also targets the closest enemy rather than any, from what I can see.

That's the gist of it.

Isn't the w at the cost of the damage or cc he could've got through an empowered q or e? I mean early game with his delayed q is something to thank about

Riot totally missed the mark on this entire assassin update except for Kat. Assassins are going to be even more unhealthy now.
