Rangers aren't playable in the current meta — at all. They seem incredibly week, something that is quite impressive since they were completely dominating the PBE ladder before the official release of Rise of the Elements.
For this precise reason, it seems weird to see that Ashe's buff has been reverted, while the only Ranger that actually seems playable is Twitch. Varus is also undergoing a nerf, which makes it harder to understand the direction that Riot Games are taking.
On the other hand, they bring a nerf on Renekton — something that should help us feel safer when playing against someone who's hard rolling a Woodland/Desert composition...
