Why is practically every new champion/rework have to do % hp damage?

I seriously can't be the only one who hate this % hp damage.

It started off to be a trend after jug rework now Galio?

I think the trend is getting old, the only one who I think % hp is even balance on is shen and poppy since they go tank with no single damage to back it up.

It differs in effect on who has it. For champs like Galio, Poppy, and Shen, they use the %HP damage to supplement the fact that they're not going to be building offensively, and %HP damage gives them a lot of bang for little investment.

As for champs like Fiora, Gnar, Camille, and Warwick, they use %HP damage because they are intended to go head to head against tanky foes and it gives them actual opportunity to take those foes out. If %HP damage didn't exist or was stripped off of some of these brawly characters, tanks would be extremely oppressive because no one would be able to kill them or deal lasting damage to them.

Such is the context and the error you found. It's fixed.

I think it makes sense on Fiora, she's meant to be the grand duelist so %HP Damage helps her kill tanks.

Gnar was released before the juggernaut rework.

Warwick always did percent health damage.

Its a trend that tends to disappear and reappear in old and new champs.

Mundo has it, amumu has it, vayne has it and malzahar always had it. It is generally meant to make these characters tank killers. meaning they are generally given this to deal equal damage across the board. Where I do not think all percentage hp is good(camille, poppy, fiora) I think it is of vital importance to have characters like this to pick against high hp targets.
