Seriously nerfing ADC?

Currently, ADC is one of the worst roles in the game with most ADCs below 50% win rate. We are seeing more and more Heimer and Cass in that lane and Zeal was nerfed. Now Cloak is being nerfed because people were stacking it because buying Zeal is incredibly inefficient, and it's either stacking attack speed or stacking crit chance early. Now people will still probably stack crit chance, but it will be inefficient as well. In this meta where games are won around 22 minutes in, you keep making ADCs take longer to hit their power spike, so by the time the game is over, most ADCs will have maybe one and a half to two full items. And yes, Stormrazor was a bit overtuned, but it's one of the reasons that ADCs are still a potential factor in this meta.

Cloak stacking was dumb anyways

"Most ADCs are below 50% win rate" - you can expect there to be maybe two to four ADC picks that have high winrates and everyone else is garbage because that's pretty much how ADCs have been for years. There's always a 'holy trinity' of right-clickers that are better than everyone else and who that is just changes with the meta. Heck, I still remember back in season 2-3 when it was Graves Corki Ezreal bot and if you picked anyone else you lost.

Mages are doing better botlane because they combo better with high cc damage supports. To be honest, it's not even mages overshadowing ADCs, it's just aggressive hook supports (+Leona) being overpowered as fk and mages happen to be good at following up on their burst+cc.
