Riot said that they support non-meta picks.

_And that i should feel enhanced to try new things and things that are off-meta _ -- **from the tribunal **

Then they proceeded to nerfed everything that was non-meta or less played

**Ap miss fortune **(removed ap scaling on w)

Assassin Khazix( not off meta, but fuck riot for killing glass cannon khazix so its gonna be on this list)

**ap rengar **(have to wait for stacks after ult and since he's squish when AP.. well.)

ad rek sai (now has to build full tank with only 1-2 ad items or else u get rekt)

**ap rek sai **(only had 1 ap ratio, and it wasnt so high, but riot logic so fuck ap rek sai)

**ad malphite

ap xin zhao

ap fizz ** **ap gragas **(now part of the tank meta, like so many others)

only getting started

ad gragas (used to play that one, but they removed every single ad scaling so yeah fuck ad gragas)

**ap irelia **(was op, got nerfed to the point of being useless, just like the old ap gragas)

.....ap yi..... (he just has to be here as an honorable mention)

**AP SION **(used to like playing from times to times)

**ap skarner **(by nerfing ad skarner it finished off ap skarner) **ad skarner **(worst rework to date, if i could be at riot games with now i would flip all the tables then the cofee mugs)

taric taric (what the fuck riot, i understand that 110 armor at level 1 might be too much, but why nerf ALL of his damages, ALL of his scalings and just leave him like that.. i understand that full ap taric dealt alot of damage, but fuck.... now he doesnt even do 200 damage with a full combo at level 18 with a full build. Used to be my main for season 3)

~~Vel Koz ~~(LOL just kidding, this has to be one of the most balanced champ in the game...first and only good job i'll give to riot in this post and probably others seeing the lee sin buffs coming out soon)

ap.. yasuo? (shouldn't be on this list, but someone answer this, why does he even have ONLY ap scaling (on his e), that just makes no sense if he's not going to be viable anyway just like ap quinn (ap scaling on q)

ap sejuani (used to main ap sejuani, until riot decided that someone who deals as much damage as someone who's not riding a boar was unacceptable and proceeded to nerf her 4 patches in a row, now she's useless as a mage)

Anyway i'm done for now

If you have any complains to make, or have new things you want me to add in this post, say so in the comments

Most of these champions are still playable as you've suggested them...

And AP Miss Fortune is still pretty strong... I mean three/four abilities scale with AP and your Q is super low cooldown and autoprocs Lichbane.

her Q deals no damage even when fed, it doesnt proc luden's echo either, her E is fine, so is her ult, BUT 2 of her abilities are useless, and ad mf almost deals as much damage with her ulti as ap...

Ad vs ap

AD: q is extremely useful, w is useful, e is useless, r is useful, basic attacks rock ap: q is useless, w is useless, e is useful, r is useful, basic attacks sucks(unless lich bane, then there's only 1 useful aa)

still a good laner when ap, but gets useless late game unless extremely fed and people dont buy any mr items

Riot, for some reason want to make every character fit a role that they cannot step out of... ever! Champions are not allowed to be viable with more than one build path, their reason always being "This wasn't the vision we had for this champion." I mean, what even is that? We're losing diversity and interesting playstyles at every step.
