Proposed changes to Renekton Dominus (R)

As a low level player, the top lane is not dominated by a certain meta that actually rules LCS, instead, you can see a nice variety of champions beign played. I pesonally main Renekton, I think it is an excellent poker and lane bully that can transition (unpopular opinion) into a beefy peeling wall in the late game. My actual problem with Renekton is the lack of sinergy it's ultimate Dominus give to it's kit, you have a poke-based beefy champ that can't really compete in 1v1 scenario in the actual varierty of top champions right now, because almost all viable top champios have at least a gap closer or any form of hard crowd control skill, and, added to the long trnsform animation of the ult, you just lost your time to follow effectively or do not live enough to get your ult advantages. Maybe the antithesis of my toughts would be Nasus, his Fury of the Sands (R) seems to work very well, but that happens because it effectively sinergizes with his kit (a really good slow skill on Wither, a big AoE damage and armor reduction on Spirit Fire and a low cool down damage ability on Siphoning Strike). So, my proposed changes are:

1.- Add to Dominus a small amount of hard crowd control effect: - An area mini-fear when Renekton transforms OR A very short root OR A small amount of continous slow while beign under the effect of the AoE of Dominus.

2.- Give Dominus the ability to refresh one of Renekton skills when it transforms.

3.- Give Dominus a mechanic similar to Gnar transformation so it does not need to stop to transform and don't lose the chase of an objetive.

NOTE.- It's just ONE option, I'm not proposing to add all these changes.

{quoted} you have a poke-based beefy champ that can't really compete in 1v1 scenario in the actual varierty of top champions right now, because almost all viable top champios have at least a gap closer or any form of hard crowd control skill, and, added to the long trnsform animation of the ult, you just lost your time to follow effectively or do not live enough to get your ult advantages.

I'll have you know that Renekton can actually 1v1 pretty effectively. What he cannot do is win sustained fights. He also fits your 1v1 scenario in that he has 2 gap closers and a stun.

That aside. I would not agree with #1 in that a fear makes targets move away. He's still melee, so if he had to get to the enemy, having them get further away is not productive. Though a fear is the only CC that makes sense. No other CC would make any thematic sense, so Riot won't add it.

(#2)...no. His W is a nuke. Assuming he used an enraged W, INTO R which generates fury, he would be able to use another enraged W within 2 seconds. He would get 2 nukes and 2 stuns out. It would make him very powerful.

(#3) I like this.
