Sivir and Gankplank getting hit with nerfs is very understandable. Gankplank has a powerful upgrade'able ultimate which can even be used as a damage field to disrupt a enemy team chase, lock down tight areas to where if a enemy goes thru it they are likely just gonna be squished up for easy kills. The barrels allow for insane damage play especially with use of hiding the barrels in the bush and pretty much no cost tacked on them allowing for constant barrel kill chains to mass stack serpents early on. His kit mostly on the other hand isn't over powered, just annoyingly maul'some when he can reactivate that passive auto damage bonus constantly by exploding barrels, set them up on turrets for chain bombing minion waves pretty easily to where i would think they should remove his armor ignore bonus on those barrels if they are gonna have no cost to begin with.
Sivir on the other hand its the marksmen derp ya lots rule with a AD leveling scale'able Q. While her W lets her insane bounce poke(Even with the use count limit), which can easily let her pull off easy hits for an ability like fervor of battle to sustain the damage bonus even easier. The E shield block is another powerful utility that can let her negate powerful damage pokes and even CC, letting her ruin a lot of poking CC powers that supports tend to carry in regular matches. The R just adds the icing on the cake by being a powerful team utility (on a marksmen) which also adding the extra attack speed when W is activated grants that extra pseudo burst power to make the bounces and on hit proc'ing even stronger.
The only ones on the list of 'champs who not need buffing' i would might have a :/ to is a champion like Malphite namely for his powerful screw the team fight ultimate dive and Vayne's insanely aggressive style where her W passive does hp% 'TRUE' damage on every third strike, in addition to how powerful her chase potential is thanks to her passive giving +30 move speed when running towards enemy champions. Combined with her tumble's quick poke in add on and her wall stun, it makes it relatively easy for her to set a enemy up for her to get one or maybe even 2 free rotations of her W proc, which is already 6% or 12% of the target's max hp ripped off including any of the regular AD damage. True damage should at least require a special situation for it to be made use of and not be able to insanely scale into ridiculousness, especially on a marksmen that would normally stack attack speed and could be used as a measure to rip apart targets, whether they are tank or not.
Sadly now that i double checked how Darius's ultimate works, i see now its insanely ridiculous because 1. It is by default true damage and it can scale with bonus AD damage which he can already get 40 to 200 of it thru his 5 stack hemmorage bleed passive (which at level 18 is already a free +175 damage on top of a 100/200/300 flat true damage bonus), which can be increased to double via +20% per hemmorage stack on it (so that's already saying 950 true damage already without any other items adding to it), plus it has a reset and will make any minions/monsters flee on these executes to make it harder to say use 'minions' to block Darius from chain spamming the ultimate on your team. Plus by the time your rank 3 with it, you have no mana cost to stop you from penta massacring a enemy team when your likely already mobile thanks to items like dead man's plate to further add to the massacre fkery.
Reason why i consider Darius and Cho'gath to be amongst the tank cancer, capabilities to be plain and simple: "True damage or free damage or bonus gain AD at a insanely high amount relatively easy."
