If renown gets removed

I haven't watched the clips nor am I a korean speaker but it seems that there is confusion (so far at least) as to what exactly they mean by remove renown. There are three possible/probably components:
1. Renown bonuses themselves (flat AP and DP gain when you reach certain combined RS)
2. The additional scaling AP and DR % which is tied respectively to your AP and DP (this is where 261 and 269AP being such a big deal comes from)
3. Caphras affecting renown score/sheet AP.

At this point as far as I know it could be any combination of these things being removed. My bet is that they are removing item 1 and leaving 2. Not sure about 3. In that case, we lose mostly on DP, grinding high end spots gets harder and AP is just as dominant as before.

If 2 gets removed, then the game will lose a lot of late-game gear scaling and make it harder to get oneshotted by everybody with 270AP. This is what most people have been clamoring for.
