^ I did, but you have to realize that yes, there were QoL buffs to Rengar, but his core kit remained the same. His burst was the same. The roar animation wasn't as bad as you mentioned. The leap got improved slightly, but it only changed certain razor-edge situations when the enemy was fast enough.

What changed was the mindset. The placebo effect was the greatest. Yes, there were hard buffs, but the biggest and most influential change was the mindset people had towards Rengar. I don't believe that a few QoL changes could have made a champ turn from complete trash to mega OP. Rengar had the potential; the buffs made it slightly easier to reach that potential, but the BIGGEST buff was simply that more people learned how to play him right.

Take a look at Jayce. Another cliche example, yet a great one. People called him "meh" on release, saying that he was mediocre and hard to play, also stating that he had no "real" ultimate. Fast forward now, when people finally learned how to play him - or better yet, when the pros learned about his potential. Suddenly, the mindset of teh general population changed. He was called OP by a large group of people, and got a couple of nerfs next patch.

So yes, the Rengar example was justified.
