Because this is a pvp game, competitive, and realistically it doesn't take much for one nerf to quickly overshadow an item or champion. There is a reason the "not that big" nerfs to Lucian put him at a very terrible win rate compared to other adcs.

Sure "useless" is being a bit of an exaggeration, but realistically there tend to be three states in this game. You are either good or "op", balanced, which realistically is just good enough to hold your own if you are skilled with the champ, or bad, which might as well be useless when compared to the actual Good champs.

IT may not be a popular opinion, but the balance of this game is easily knocked off, as we see time and time again with new items such as Cinderhulk that shaped an entire Meta for nearly this entire year, or the fact that nerfing cinderhulk and tossing in sated devourer completely shifted things on its head (plus the further cinderhulk nerfs).

That is why people make such claims, because when something isn't viable compared to the actual strong picks, it might as well be useless given the game balance.
