Too much damage and Renekton doing poorly; Riot's solution: More damage!

Renekton is hot ass right now.

20 Damage will fix him for sure

Jesus Riot

That's pretty much how power creep works. Small increases here and there that have minimal impact day-by-day, but which can result in later problems with a champion.

The increases are always small enough not to notice, but add up over time until the cup spills over.

Bear in mind that before this preseason, Renekton was (and still is) a horribly obnoxious toplaner to face, having all the problems of resourceless champions and early level power spike ones combined. It doesn't take much in terms of rune or item tweaks to put characters like him/riven/fiora/trynd over the edge.

Alternatively, these changes won't do anything because of the still obnoxious power of poke champions top and the later team fighting contributions the tanks that lose lane against him offer; it's just going to push other bruisers down until they need buffs and the power creep carries on anyway.
