You're conveniently ignoring the fact that the CD gets lowered by a bunch of seconds. If they don't nerf the AP ratio it would become the de facto playstyle, simply because of how good it would become.
Because when diamond players play in a bronze game and go off meta, the bronze don't see the counter play and blame their build. Also ezreal adjust should be reverted since they removed double tear but idk.
What are you even saying? Ezreal got his W reworked because it was an uninteresting and unsatisfying ability, not because of double tear. People didn't even do that until the rework because of how well he scales with AP in general and having another 300 base damage .5 scaling nuke on his W just made it that much better.

Because Riot wants to streamline everything and make off meta builds less viable.
You'll see soon when AP naut gets gutted because its suddenly being played.
They didn't kill the AP build with the rework for Ez...they just made it require actual skill to get solid AP damage from your W. It's easy to land one skillshot that goes through minions for like 30% of someone's hp. Now you take about half from AD build by landing that and your Q (closer to 70% with AP build), and it takes actual skill.
Sion got his AP cut on rework because Sion was designed as an AD Juggernaut/Fighter, and it was downright toxic to be one shotted off a point/click stun and 2k damage shield nuke. What they took from him in AP they gave back to him in a full AD build. Full AD Sion with PhaseRush (some people call it "inting Sion") is impossible to keep peeled off of you even after death, splitpushes like a god, and still gets tanky enough from his scaling passive to play like a bruiser instead of an assassin...and his Ult on its own deals almost as much damage as his old W nuke, but again takes actual skill.
Tryn and Xin only need AP for their Healing, and it literally changes no part of their damage. It's to cover the part where each of them have ultimates that make damage not matter (Xin's only working against ranged attacks, but still making him immune, and Tryn...well, yeah...) I don't really see a reason they should be building AP anyway, outside of possibly a rageblade, which is also getting changed.
Fun fact ap ez plays almost the same as ad ez. Also ez if anything got buffed on his ap build, like the main build ap in and your saying it got killed wtf.
Like not everything has to have off meta since it is not fun. No one to play with cheesy champions builds or face them.
