Update power creep is becoming a serious problem

All of the recent updates Riot has performed have constituted massive buffs that plunge champions into pick/ban scenarios in a huge, huge way. It started with the gangplank update, then onto fiora, then onto the juggernauts (all except skarner, surprisingly) are mandatory pick/bans in the current meta.

Of course, it's been a problem with several updates in the past; Eve, katarina, etc. The champs were found super broken after a rework, and then subsiquently gutted. Skarner was gutted as well, but for some reason, the others in this most recent update have still been left feeling pretty darn op.

Now we're seeing indirect nerfs to literally every other class (except maybe supports) and buffs to ADCs, as well as "reworks" that most often just equate to buffs, as well as increasing their early game power across the board (which is SUPPOSED to be their weak point). It's safe to say that ADCs are going to become ridiculously dominant in the new meta, and that AP characters are going to feel even more overshadowed than they already do.

I'm calling this phenomena "Update power creep". Riot updates something to make it more "interesting" which usually constitutes huge buffs to the over all power level. As a result, we see the power of entire classes shift upwards, resulting in heavily increased power creep while older champs are left lying in the dust.

Overtuned updates are a huge issue. The feedback from the PBE on the marksman changes has been overwhelmingly that their itemization is too heavily buffed, and all of that feedback has been ignored (not to mention, feedback on the AP item nerfs has also been both ignored and without any context provided...). So update power creep will continue. Inb4 juggernaut top, Varus mid, kogmaw adc, ashe support and kindred jungle.
