By reductive i mean cutting every diversity , builds , everytime you rework a champion. And you force those champs into a tunnel vision , wich is extremly boring . Zyra used to be playable mid and jungle , now stuck in bot lane . Ap Shaco nerfed to oblivion . Ad Evelynn i mean , you didn't even consider eve's player base .

It's a tricky balance. Where's the fulcrum between "support great build/role diversity" and "enable everyone playing a champion to succeed?"
With things like Evelynn or Shaco or Zyra there was normally a way to play them that was far and away the "best" choice, and so focusing them on that approach to reduce the number of players frustrated with their lack of performance is, in many respects, a good thing.
I totally get the frustration, of course, but it's a situation where there isn't really a perfect solution. I think in this case Riot opted for the most streamlined one, which is cutting off-roles and off-builds where they feel it is appropriate to support clarity of champion purpose.
