Why a Malzahar or Rengar Revert is very unlikely

The only reason riot reworked Kog'Maw, is because his very existence breaks all on-hits as nerfs to him really wouldn't affect the situation. The ONLY possible solution for Kog'Maw was a revert. It's sad because he was actually kinda fun and had some counterplay, but IMO every reason that riot gave to his revert is a lie. This was the only reason. As for Malzahar, if they can find a state where he is kinda ok, they won't revert him. Same for Rengar. As long as he's not Kalista'd, then he won't get reverted. Even in the event of a champion getting gutted, a revert is probably still unlikely

TL;DR As long as Malzahar is viable as a support, there will be no revert. Period. As long as Rengar is viable as a bruiser, there will be no revert. Period.

Come on dude I used to play the shit out of that Jungle Kog'Maw and the only counterplay was to not let him get to three items xD

I mean if you counterjungled him early as any jungler at all he becomes useless. But yeah late he can be toxic. I said counter play because he is slow and immobile so divers and assassins could possible burst him before getting oneshot.

both Malzahar and Rengar, while in obnoxiously abusive states, are both healthier kit-wise as champions after their reworks. The Reason why Kogmaw was reverted was because his rework wasn't really even needed and only caused issues.

Rengar and Malzahar on the other hand from a kit based perspective are both better and more balance-able champions as a whole. They may need tweaks and adjustments, but ultimately reverting them would make them worse, not better.
