I feel like Rito kinda dropped the ball with the whole "Balance" thing...

With the Juggernaut update, and Devourer, Balance has become kinda scarce. With Skarner and Mordekaiser being as broken as they are, if you have them and the enemy team doesn't, it's basically automatic GG. And then with Devourer? Every game I play against a Shyvana in the jungle, they have to to take their camps, counter jungle me, and then go ahead and gank their lanes. Meanwhile, I made a gank in top, then mid, I go into my jungle, all my camps are gone, Shyvana's already ganked like, twice, and all her camps are cleared. She literally has the fastest camp clear in the game right now, and there's no feasible way to fight a Shyvana, aside from counter jungling her from level one. And even then, unless you have the right champs(Like maybe Shaco), you can't counter jungle her. And eve if you do, you have to keep it up the whole game, and you'll have very little time to gank, or help your team out at all.

TL;DR

The Juggernauts(Especially Skarner and Mordekaiser) are broken. Sated Devourer is broken, and people are going out of ther way to play champs that completely decimate with it(Shyvana, Skarner, Yi, Vi, Udyr.) All it did was take the already powerful jungle fighters/assassins, and make them even more broken.

I just feel like Rito really dropped the ball on the whole balance thing the last few patches.

Yeah they kinda fucked up lel. The problem is that Riot tried to get rid of tank meta by buffing (breaking) everything else. Runeglaive, devourer, bruisers, everything is broken now. Im just waiting for a broken warrior rework so that Kha can shit over everything again lol.

For the first time in a long time, I actually agree that the state of the game is pretty poorly balanced at the moment. The next couple of patches definitely need changes to most of the people you named, or a massive change to devourer.

I'm glad people are actually agreeing with me. Like, normally I just get flamed with "There's counter play" bull shit. But when i can first time Skarner and go 22/3, there's no counter balance. There's just broken.

Literally, the only reason why i've had fun for the past week or so is because I've given in and start playing the broken champs like Fiora, Skarner, and Shyvana.
