Please stop nerfing champions

(almost always) Whenever a champion is "OP" it's because they can abuse an actually overpowered item, not because the kit or champion itself is op. Think wukong, only strong because of item 3147 Electrocute and item 3078 no need to nerf wukong, just nerf the items that he and so many other "broken champions" abuse. Back when shield/heal supports were completely busted, not because of numbers on the shields or the kit (besides Lulu ) it's ardent censer and the other items that scale too well with shields. Riot made a good decisions recently nerfing the shield/heal scalings, but nerfing the champions too? Completely unneeded. One last example, Kaisa, MasterYi, both of the champions are way too strong recently, but their kits aren't the big reason. Its item 3124 and other on-hit items. Please focus on nerfing items instead of the champions who use them, because when you finally do nerf the items, they become way too bad, (ADCs, Shield Supports)

The problem with nerfing items but not champs is that some champs are only playable because of the strength of certain items. Some champs need buffs, some need nerfs, some need reworks, and it's the same for items. Getting all of these things into relative balance is hard. Riot seems to be trying to make changes so that there aren't just 1-2 dominant strategies that make any variation beyond best available champ for X role into just cheese strats that only work as surprises.
