Riot's balancing team is trying to one-up everything.
I'm not gonna rage about how any particular champion is broken or not, but I want to point out that many of these newly released or reworked champions are max tier. Take a look;
Morde now dominates bottom lane, and to a lesser degree top lane. Darius has gone from a B+ - A- to a S+ due to his effortless Pentakill output. Skarner now has an unfeasible win rate of 73% before 25 mins and 65% after that. (if i remember correctly it was about 40% before) Garen is still here and still annoying, but even more so. Fiora is now an even more of a "grand duelist" than before. Ekko is several assassins bred with Sion. Gnar is a weaker form of Vayne with braum and Leona put together.
As of late riot seems to be trying to one-up the last champion release/update and we're slowly headed towards Dota territory (Everything's op in Dota) We need to go back to basics and redefine what is healthy and unhealthy.
Riot's balancing department needs to work as one, not as many children trying to outdo the other.
