What champions are OP and why?

So I have been thinking about certain champions that I think is just impossible to play against, I know I have "only" ever been gold and ended this season in silver but I still think that is good enough to have an opinion about the more competitive aspects of the game.

I personally think that Annie, specificly her ult, is OP. Not the damage, not the pet, not the stun but rather the fact that it is basicly an instant/hit-scan verision of Brands W+Q (on top of all the previous things I listed). The fact that you have to basicly read her mind to avoid it I think make her OP. Sure veigars ult is basily and insta-kill on most mages but that's pretty much only mages, single target, and have a travel time so you can use sonyas.

Anyways could the people who reads this just post what champions they want riot to nerf and why, would be fun to know and read other peoples opinion.

Zed godly laning phase, you have all the tools and a built in kit designed to get ahead in lane and create a lead for yourself. and right now in league of snowballs its super important to come out ahead with a lead. makes it super favorable for your team.

TahmKench protect a carry, a second life to stay in the fight, a secondary flash for your carry. just a great solid meat shield.

Rengar green wards were removed so its even more difficult to get vision on rengar before he ults, 5 pink wards on a map just arent enough to cover him. wasn't op before, saw no direct changes, but became grossly important for a team.

Soraka will win late game team fights assuming one of your carries doesn't get picked.

Anivia thunderlords gives her just enough damage to bring kill potential to her lane, which is quite deadly for supposedly just a farm lane.

Gangplank superb wave clear and huge crits.

Alistar still the best tower diver for your team, brings great protection and initation for your team.

Garen just monstrous when you dont bring a direct counter, it takes a full 5man squad to bring him down late game, do not get to late game against a garen or he will dive and will be a menace to deal with. or be prepared to ignore him or quickly end a 5v4 and then later deal with the lone garen.

For me there are 2 types of "op champs" .

  1. Are just the normal "op" onest hat are too strong because of items, masteries, meta or just their kit or their numbers (like Mundo, Lux or Graves I guess)

And 2) Are champs that dont really have counterplay. All they do is auto attack or press buttons and you cant really outplay them once they are ahead (so things like Warwick or Annie). Sure you can get qss and stuff but Id like to beat champs because I play well, not because I buy a 1300 item that I dont want to buy.

  1. Should probably be nerfed, but 2) just need reworks.

Well the answer to this question kinda changes with every few patches based on direct and indirect nerfs/buffs to champions and items. Right now Olaf Zed Talon DrMundo Tristana Illaoi TahmKench are just a wee bit too strong for various reasons.
