For example: or generally appear to be downright hated by everyone except the people who play them?

You're asking the wrong question.

The people who actually have a reasoned argument as to why they dislike these champions are not calling for nerfs. They're calling for changes to their kit so that they are not as oppressive to play against.

If everyone hates playing against a champion and it is ruining their fun of the game, then, yes, that is valid grounds to rework the champion's kit into a better space, a Riot have done several times in the past.

They need to learn how to fight against these champions

one problem is that some people would rather shout Op and be content than figuring out how to play against them

(and this is as someone who does not own Yasuo,vayne,lee, ect)

Yasuo counters xerath, the fuck do you expect, his entire kit is about "fuck xerath"

champions aren't hated for no reason

usually it's the lack of counterplay, oppressiveness and being too snowbally why they are hated

note, not good winrate or something

yah most of the champions people hate, seem to have ok winrates, generally not much higher than 50% where as sometimes with champions with 54% winrates or higher go unnoticed, for example I think kayle top has a 54% winrate.

IT could be reason to some kind of rework... If champion is super unfun to play against, its designers mistake.. Take Illaoi as example, they were so dumb when they released her, they thaught that 1 minut curse with spawniing tentacles around you every 10 sec is a good idea.. Its beyond me how that shit could have gone through champion desighers... Some time, it seems they only care how does it feel to play the champ, but not what is it like to play vs him.
