The rise on popularity of ranged top laners such as Ryze, Lulu, and Gnar, made Renekton fall out of favor as he is meant to be a lane bully, yet he gets bullied himself by those top laners. Also, other tanky top laners like Mundo and Maokai became popular, and they are far better than Renekton at both tanking and teamfighting presence (Mundo not so much; but he is still far tankier). Finally, Jax fell out of favor after his nerfs. One of the reasons why Renekton was popular was because he is an amazing counter to Jax. But now that Jax is no longer seen often at top lane, there isn't much reason to use Renekton as a counterpick since he no longer counters most of top laners.
