It almost seems like Riot has their own list of favorite champions.
Pick Vayne as an exemple. She's a popular, strong pick taken for her tank shredding and lategame carry potential. She's the kind of champion that will REALLY shine given the right meta, yet, because we are currently in a meta in which she is slightly weaker, which doesn't affect her popularity at all, she gets buffed. She's been strong in so many patches for so long, and just because she's a tad weak in ONE patch she's getting buffed???
Meanwhile so many champions have been weaker than her for longer than her, and they keep being ignored by Rito.
Oh, and Thresh getting buffed.... seriously?
Please rito...
Please...
Reason some champions don't get nerfed and some get buffed could be more then just because they are 'overpowered', it could also be they want to push champion variety and remove stagnation created by people sticking to particular champions because of things like the recent skip critical hit and focus on penetration builds on some marksmen since champions like Lucian and Miss fortune can exploit it so greatly they can end up easily overtaking so many other champions in the same role, especially ones like Caitlyn who specializes in critical hits. While champions like Jhin and Ashe who have powerful utility wise kits and make strong use of critical hit still also kept crowding the 'meta marksmen picks'.
Part of what makes Vayne good is her ability to chase down a target and aggressively assault them, but since the current meta allows so many silly things like tank building be extremely powerful, non'marksmen can end up being utterly ridiculous thanks to easy ways to gain mobility due to typical item builds and once again marksmen making use of items like black cleaver and ghost blade in favor of proper items like runan's hurricane, statik shiv, rapid fire handcannon or phantom dancer, it turns into a matter of if it turns into a 1 vs 1 marksmen battle then its whoever can shred faster can win. Of course, Vayne can have her tempo ruined by disruptive CC just like how she employs with her E knock back on walls, her R enhancing her Q tumbles to grant minor stealth. If she gets her rapid fire interrupted for just a short moment while going against a champion who specializes in dealing large amounts of damage per shot, then her true damage on her 3rd shot passive could get overwhelmed faster. Especially when life steal comes into the mix.
Ashe's slow from her arrows, Jhin's ability to throw down slow traps and root targets don't help either.
ADDITIONAL NOTE, kind of got cut off mid way with someone shutting off the router 'temporarily'.
Its pretty much another case of champions who have kits designed specifically to let them Feast easily (chase power, bypass tank power, the ability to dis'engage thru unique but much stronger means then standard rooting, increasing your own move speed or plain dashes) that adds to the ridiculousness power. Even if Vayne's silver bullets got changed to a bonus damage value based on her existing AD every 3rd shot instead of its true damage bonus, you still wouldn't see much of a change really except against over stacked tank builds that still need toning down.
