What champions could benefit from having higher bases at the cost of lower scalings.
I feel like 
could fit this category, but to each their owns opinions I suppose,

Any support primary champion.
Yes, 
count.
Yes for: Diana, Morde, Nunu, Rumble, Urgot, Vi, Yorick, Zac,
Maybe: Lee and Riven
Reducing scalings and raising base usually encourages slightly more tankiness and as such as the ones listed who I feel need it
Diana- Should have this done so she can be a bruiser riot intended for her to be on release instead of abusing ratios for assassin we know today
Morde has too much items he wants to build, giving him higher bases would allow him to synergize with items without NEEDING a large list thus giving him a less confusing build path
Nunu- Has high scalings which are cool for ap nunu but normal nunu can't really get to said scalings and this would improve nunu more (Although an ap nunu nerf)
Rumble doesn't really care for building heavy AP in the first place, if he was changed in such a manner he would still build the same but benefit a bit more off of it.
Vi- She's a heavy bruiser assassin but can't really bulk up because she has to get a bit more damage items then she would want
Zac- He just doesn't care about AP aside from maybe banshee this would really be a helpful change.
Urgot and yorick just need help, and hopefully this would be it.
Lee and riven are maybes because Lee has both good bases and high scalings but if they go full damage and 1-shot they're so squishy and fall off easily while normally you'd need to go tank. Shifting scalings to bases would reduce the amount of QQ and buff normal lees who go defensive later on.
Somewhat same argument for riven.
Yi could somewhat use it too by:Remove AS boost on ulti and add some attack speed to base stats to compensate.
Supports. Supports everywhere. Here's to hoping they give Taric some sort of health % magic damage attack in his rework so he can tumble himself.

Pretty much almost any champ with low CD abilities, I think.
The issue with doing that for Riven is that she can become pretty dominant already with a small lane lead but since she needs CDR in order to use her kit to its best potential having lower scalings would impact her overall strength quite a bit, basically ending up like old Darius, where he would dominate lane but be pretty useless late game. What Riven would really benefit from is some better itemization options, as an example
+
+
400 health 20% CDR 40 AD 15% Lifesteal
Unique passive: +10 Armor pen Unique active: Your next 3 auto attacks deal additional damage equal to 5% enemy missing health as physical damage
This would probably be a bit much but if it was put into the game you would see a lot more of Riven
Been playing Gragas lately and he is already doing this. feels good.
WHO EVEN NEEDS SCALINGS, LVL 1 500 BASE Q DAMAGE LETS GO
