Patch buffs already strong picks

Though i was happy with changes about Jhin, and the buffs on Poppy, Jinx, Orianna, and Eve, current patch is about to ruin balance. I mean gold-platina lvl Veigars were harbingers of death pain and destruction, Vayne and Draven already had a very high raw scaling and damage with mobility, Ezreal is already problematic and giving him this buff without lowering Q scaling will just make him op, Diana was a famous pick already everywhere with a balanced easy to hit kit, Malphlite can already only be stopped by very heavy poke and mana outrunning (while nearly always guaranteeing a win in teamfights), and Tresh is already a great tank with more utility compared to other tank supports, and Riven due to her cc is never usuless, while Vis early game with her Q is already a nuisance and would need to be tuned down. Rather than buffing fine and strong champions please don't forget take a look at AurelionSol Kindred TahmKench who got abandoned at incredibly fast rate, Skarner Yorick Zilean MalzaharJanna Ekko Fizz Leblanc KogMaw Kassadin Mordekaiser whose kits are still (heavily) flawed.

I think you're just seeing them do things they already did and attribute it to the patch. The only one that might be too strong now is Malphite.

Also, your list of champions that need work is just incredibly off the mark. Zilean is fine, Ekko is fine, Aurelion Sol is fine, Kench is fine, Skarner is fine etc. Personally, I'd like to see them give Mundo and Ziggs just a tiny bit of help so they have a shot at seeing competitive play.

AurelionSol is actually fine tbh he has above 50% winrate on both his role on champion.gg for mid and jungle. And they just said they are releasing the rework of Yorick I don't know about the rest of the stuff, but you should check out the stats and news more carefully before making a comment on balance.

Contrary to your beliefs, Ezreal has been struggling. The passive buff is nice, but it doesn't make him broken. He needs a lot more than attack speed to get there.
