We need rules on stuff champions SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be able to do
Make a list of things that champions should NEVER, EVER be able to do, and then...if an existing champion does that...rework them.

Ok, here's my list of things no champion should be able to do:
I'll start...
1.) 1 shot with 1 ability e.g. zoe, neeko
2.) hide from /dodge tower shots e.g. akali, fizz
please add if you have ideas
2 things
Have true stealth that not even a turret can reveal
Have a fucking basic ability that cancels out all ranged abilities and even ultimates
That's it
Champions SHOULD:
- Get gold
- Damage structures (Note: an exception could be made here if they get a really good trade off)
- Be annoying! If a champion isn't annoying in some way there's no reason to play them.
Champions SHOULD NOT:
- 1 shot the Nexus
- Damage the Nexus while towers are up
- Apply Friendly Fire damage (to Champions, Minions, or Buildings)
- Be overly tedious/annoying to play as or against
Now, the problem is that "annoying" and "too annoying/tedious" are very relative.
And vice versa, if a recently reworked champion does something they aren't supposed to do, revert/rework them again.
Just kill true damage. It won't fix everything, but it'd be a good start.
Riot does have a list like that. Part of the core in creating a new champion is finding a way that champion can break one of those rules.
Example: Urgot is a ranged juggernaut with a dash, but he lacks the sustain that other juggernauts are known for.
Riot already have such rules. Champions should oneshot you. Champions should never tank. ...
