Universality the design trend atm ?

Did only i notice that with all the reworking that riot does there is a single trend they follow.

The champions slowly become more and more universal they can deal with most things they can find ... overall the sheer amount of diverse tools per champion is succesively increased in order to increase the field in which such a champion can be used and then we have items which also aim at the same thing (loads of passives which clearly aim at filling the gaps your kit doesnt already fill)

I would like to ask the community, what do you think about that, do you think its good for gameplay or will it make the game stale?
