All of the class updates have been failures.

Honestly, what has even been the point? Lets start with the first class update, juggernaut. were so overtuned that they had to be gutted in a slaughterhouse somewhere, so now despite their reworks they are in the exact same spot they were previously. Mordekaiser in particular is in a pretty bad place and is in desperate need of a full VGU. came out pretty much the same, and was clearly overturned and still is. He did not need changes, but hey riot decided to buff the hell out of him anyway.

Next is the marksmen update. was admittedly the most unique change for this game in its history as it added a reload mechanic, but guess what? He was also overtuned, severely overtuned. Everyone else did not get unique mechanics like graves, all that happened was riot decided to enhance what was already good and unique about the champ in the first place. for example was so stupidly overpowered that you guys actually decided to REVERT his rework. This is something riot doesn't do, so the fact that a champion rework failed so hard that they had to swallow their pride and revert it speaks for itself. got nerfed and is still in need of buffs an entire year later and went from a balanced adc to an oppressive piece of shit, no nerfs for her in sight. And guess what, giving her more traps and guaranteed headshot crits does not make her anymore unique than she already was. And despite all this, and still remain as the go to ADC picks if you want to actually carry, kinda like they were before the update.

And then we come to the mage update. Take a guess what happened. That's right, overtuned and then nerfed into the ground to his pre reworked winrate and pickrate. What was the point of even touching him? actually needs nerfs but is getting buffed because of the fetish riot has with true damage. not that I have a problem with that as I love syndra, but the point remains the same. rofl they basically deleted this champ and started melting teams even HARDER than before despite the community begging riot not to touch him.

And finally we have the assassin update, which was just one massive nerf unless your name is or . Have no idea why they got special treatment, but they did.

The point of these updates were to add uniqueness to the classes/roles, but all that really happened was an enhancement of what ALREADY made them unique. Because of this many champs ended up being overtuned and forced to be nerfed, some of which turned out being WORSE than what they were previously.
