I think Renekton is really strong right now. Gaining 50 range, lets you get to targets that are 625 units away if you use just Slice, and 1075 units away. This means that if you engage through minions, you can Slice, if you aren't already behind them, W in most situations, Dice Past them as they run away, and auto/Q and kill them as they try to get away. This gives them very little room to react before they have lost the trade. You can also now start with W, Q, Slice Past, Auto as they run, Dice Past, Q again/auto them. These are all very easy to hit now with the bonus range.

The New Black Cleaver is an absolute beast with him. With 6 CD Per Level Blues, BC, and Spirit Visage, you can max out CDR, with out sacrificing that much from your build. Not only that, but BC helps you scale into the late game, providing you the capability to dish out more damage, while also giving you the MS to chase, the Armor Shred for your carry, and some added health. Not to mention the additional Shred from empowered Dice, and your capability to quickly apply stacks. Your empowered W applies 3 stacks (2 Regular), Your Q applies 1 in an AoE, and your E applies 2 provided you hit both halves. With Almost Max/Max CDR in the Mid-Late game, you can jump around the backline and past the tank line, going from target to target in teamfights, weakening along the way. If you need to after going in and bursting their carry, get back to yours to peel, your combo will be up again soon.

Rage is such a good passive, and proccing on all Physical damage lets you get MS when you E/Q a target, making your chasing even better. I find that a lot of Renekton's weaknesses in the mid-to-late are supplemented by Cleaver, and currently Renekton is very strong. Even against Gnar, a match-up I normally have trouble with, I was able to win lane fairly easily, zoning him off CS and forcing him to use his jump early.

What are your opinions on Renekton? Please do not knock him until you have played him after the buffs/Cleaver rework. You may think "Well his late-game is still shit" but I promise, although you aren't quite as powerful, you deal a ton more damage than you used to be able to. While Cleaver has been an item for a while, and one extra stack may not seem like it makes a difference, the CD along with the increased Rage generation from a few patches ago and the rage passive, you are consistently able to Empowered Dice to shred a target even more, and apply Cleaver stacks, not to mention the buildpath being Phage & Kindlegem, both of which are great items.
