There is a simple explanation for the nerfing scenario which I personally support. Making every single champion have the possibility of reaching a more deadly potential only serves to aggravate the situation where a champion who does well early on can simply stomp over the competition and there is less in-game capability for players to react and respond. It gives me no satisfaction to play a game in which victory or defeat becomes inevitable within the first 5 minutes.

From a practical perspective, how much harder do you think it is to buff every other champion's capabilities in order to balance against a single champion's offense? Realistically, you cannot expect in doing this that you will not create more unbalanced champions, it will take longer and be essentially a pointless facade.

In the end, your killer champion is comparatively weakened anyway. Unless you are an especially gullible young waif, your satisfaction will in no ways be improved.

My third distaste for this kind of practice would be the constant number inflation required for it's upkeep. This just screws up all kinds of calculations of game mechanics and lends less clarity for those concerned.

What I would really want is that Riot stops releasing so many bloody champions and continues to balance the 70 chumps they already released.

At any rate, this is all a completely moot argument regarding Renekton. I really wish Riot would release these new champions with their own free week. The long-term aggravation of hearing the complaints of excitable ragers who bought the guy without waiting to try out his abilities far outweighs any short term discomfort I would have of playing against a week's worth of completely terrible Renektons. Because that's going to happen anyway next week.

TL;DR: Hey, maybe we all should quit being redundant argumentative buggers and get out and take a walk in the park or something every once in a while. They still have those, right?
