I won't argue about the Diana, Rengar, and Zyra nerf because people that use your logic can't be reasoned with. I don`t recall syndra ever being nerfed, unless you're refering to her pre-PBE state, which is pretty much irrelevant.

The reason why champions aren't buffed to an equal power level is because this causes power creep. I know, I know, this is what the red say. But in game development schools you will learn of power creep and how important it is to avoid it. In a balance sense, nerfs are always, always, always better than buffs, unless buffs are aboslutely necessary to remedy to something way below the intended average (e.g. Evelynn, overall buffs IMO).

Diana's issue is that she has high burst damage, while also having great survivability. Normally, champions need some sort of tradeoff, Diana has shortcomings, yes, but not where it counts.

Rengar gets everything for basically nothing; he has high burst, sustained damage if he can stick to his target, sustain, survivability, CC, and a relatively reliable escape. IMO, his issues are beyond simple numbers.

I haven't had any issues personally with any of these champions, but I understand why they needed what they got.
