Why would you want Renekton buffed in any way? He steamrolls the early and mid game to make sure his laner doesn't ever reach mid game.

Like Riven he has tremendous damage for no cost. But Riven blocks damage using shields, and will eventually end up losing health after several trades because she can't stockpile it. Renekton spams Q to continue stockpiling that health while dishing out damage. This is in part why Vladimir is frustrating to play against, except that Vlad is much squishier in exchange for being ranged.

If Renekton were any stronger, there'd be no reason to pick anything other than Jax or Renekton top ever.
