It wasn't until very recently did rengar go from virtually unknown, to being a decent tanky top laner, due to your ability to sustain, in lane against, the current 3 champion top lane meta ( renekton, shyvanna, mundo) and survive into his mid to late game where he finally gets some decent scaling and the power to do some good burst if built bruiser. so what does riot do? nerf the one thing that made him mildly viable again, as if it wasnt hard enough to stay in lane with the 3 current top lane bullies, now your early game is even worse, and u can barely jungle him, especially now, since the sustain is being nerfed even more so, they decided to take away rengars triple q, the ONLY thing that gave him presence in his lane and out of his lane. so now where does rengar go? he's definitely not gonna be able to survive top anymore, and he's now on his last wobbly hobbled legged in the jungle. mean while kha'zix runs around getting quadra kills in the big leagues, cause he has burst, he has damage, he has sustain. what does rengar have? Oh another nerf, the slogan shouldnt be better nerf irelia, its better nerf rengar... thanks riot for keeping a 3 champ only top meta, great idea at creating diversity in the game. taking a kitty's claws away

They didn't nerf his sustain :/
The rest is fairly right, but he's getting a rework anyways. So no biggy.

The funniest part about this is your claim of a three champ only top meta. You already have Olaf, Shyvana, Dr. Mundo, Renekton. So that's already four. Plus you have Trundle getting some top lane play time recently. And that's just in the top tier scene. You still see Nasus or Darius top lane in other divisions and you can also see more fringe based picks. Stab kitty needed to be adjusted, and quite frankly he still needs some changes to place him in an appropriate position in the game.
