Riot said that they support off-meta picks and champion diversity.

And that i should feel enhanced to try new things and things that are out of the meta -- From the tribunal

Then they proceeded to nerfed everything that was non-meta or less played

Ap miss fortune (removed ap scaling on w)

Assassin Khazix( not off meta, but fuck riot for killing glass cannon khazix so its gonna be on this list)

ap rengar (have to wait for stacks after ult and since he's squish when AP.. well.)

ad rek sai (now has to build full tank with only 1-2 ad items or else u get rekt)

ap rek sai (only had 1 ap ratio, and it wasnt so high, but riot logic so fuck ap rek sai)

**ad malphite

ap xin zhao

ap fizz ap gragas **(now part of the tank meta, like so many others)

only getting started

ad gragas (used to play that one, but they removed every single ad scaling so yeah fuck ad gragas)

ap irelia (was op, got nerfed to the point of being useless, just like the old ap gragas)

.....ap yi..... (he just has to be here as an honorable mention)

AP SION (i used to like playing from times to times)

ap skarner (by nerfing ad skarner it finished off ap skarner) ad skarner (worst rework to date, if i could be at riot games with now i would flip all the tables then the cofee mugs, i liked the old skarner better)

taric taric (what the fuck riot, i understand that 110 armor at level 1 might be too much, but why nerf ALL of his damages, ALL of his scalings and just leave him like that.. i understand that full ap taric dealt alot of damage, but fuck.... now he doesnt even do 200 damage with a full combo at level 18 with a full build. Used to be my main for season 3)

Vel Koz (LOL just kidding, this has to be one of the most balanced champ in the game...first and only good job i'll give to riot in this post and probably others seeing the lee sin buffs coming out soon)

ap.. yasuo? (shouldn't be on this list, but someone answer this, why does he even have ONLY ap scaling (on his e), that just makes no sense if he's not going to be viable anyway just like ap quinn (ap scaling on q)

ap sejuani (used to main ap sejuani, until riot decided that someone who deals as much damage as someone who's not riding a boar was unacceptable and proceeded to nerf her 4 patches in a row, now she's useless as a mage)

Evelynn.

Mordekaiser (i never liked playing mordekaiser, but Riot fucked up on that one)

Anyway i'm done for now

If you have any complains to make, or have new things you want me to add in this post, say so in the comments

Assassin Khazix

What? How is that off-meta?

ap rengar (have to wait for stacks after ult and since he's squish when AP.. well.)

was a nerf to both AP and AD Rengo. Guess what? Full AD Rengo is just as squishy as AP Rengo

ad rek sai

you can still build her AD, but its just as bad as it was before

ap fizz

WUT. Still his most meta build

ap gragas

WUT. Still a viable build path

.....ap yi.....

I have never heard anyone once complain that this should be brought back. It was 10/10 broken

AP SION

are you seriously going to complain about the single best rework Riot ever put together?

taric

Actually Sirhcez plays taric top at challenger level and does quite well with him

ap skarner

completely untouched

evelynn

talking about off meta roles for champions? How is a champion an off meta pick to itself?

ap.. yasuo

was never a thing nor does it make any sense

I already said that khazix wasnt an off meta pick.

its more a nerf to ap rengar, since he doesnt deal much dmg with his q in the first place.

ad reksai has been better.

forgot to edit fizz out of this post

yi is an honorable mention.

they could have kept ap sion, im not complaining about their rework, its a really good one, that i can agree with you.

ap taric was destroyed when they removed the ap scaling on his w, and reduces his other ap scalings.

They basically nerfed ap skarner by screwing with scalings, the only way to actually play it was to take hybrid runes. They nerfed his E's damage BY HALF and his scaling BY HALF as well, also his Q scaling by half, enough said.

Ad evelynn is still the same, but ap evelynn has been nerfed several times, to the point of being nearly useless unless fulltank.

ap yasuo had a question mark, anyone intelligent enough would understand that i wasn't sure when i put it there.

They do as long as it's healthy.

Just like how unhealthy champions get gutted like they deserve.
