Why buff them even more when they were already broken?

It seems like every season has their own meta Season 4 had buffed junglers season 5 buffed tanks season 6 has buffed assassins In season 4/5 champions that were buffed were actually able to be taken down. Ever heard the term glass cannon? For those of you who don't know it refers to someone who is incredibly powerful but can easily be taken down. Imaging that power but instead of being a glass cannon its mad out of Valerian steel. That's what happened to assassins like shen zed akali etc. You should not be able to take someone out with 2 abilities and also have 3000+hp and a large amount of armour and magic resist. Its like Riot doesn't want us to play this anymore and instead they want us to move to Dota

Yeah duskblade just ruins my gameplay. We shut down this shaco hardcore killed him 4 times in the first 17 mins invaded his jungle multiple times. Then all the sudden hes appearing behind me every team fight insta gibing me in a half a second because he finally built the new item. Now all the sudden he gets a quadra then a triple in the next team fight next thing we know were trying to place a pink ward down every fight because hes annihilating all our damage dealers before fights even start because he can instant kill them. He ends the game 21/11 dealing almost 15,000 more then anyone on my team and the rest of his team did like 30,000 damage less then him. He solely won the game for them by getting the new item and taking our apc and adc to pound town.

You mention akali in this but until she is 15/0 that ain't happening. Neither is it with shen (admittedly i haven't played the new shen but he is supposed to be a tank...) Zed is designed that way yes but there are so many ways to outplay his kit. Quite honestly the only reason he is super strong rn is because of his scalings and his passive. If they toned one of those down a bit he would be perfectly fine.
