It's just part of the game now the reason balancing was difference s1-3 because META was mostly changed by new champs being released so when the first really strong people were found out the got nerfed then the pro's just switch to another strong unerfed champ then they nerfed and at the same time some champions get reworked or buffed but 1 is probably buffed for every 5-10 nerfed. So now Riot as basicly got into a cycle where they nerf to balance, pro's switch they habe to nerf again to keep the game balanced. Tbh a lot of factors have contributed to this the most being the rarity of new champs being released. Personally, I think the game is at its most balanced state since release and as far as solo-q goes you can play anything in anylane and still climb ELO but in 5s and stuff you forced to play that small champ pool but they stated they always want an ever changing META so tweaks will always need to be done to balance and change META. I also personally think the nerfs are done to champs more jungle-top-midlane because as far as adc's go the all build roughly the same and supports build the same aswell(either ap route or tank), so these are the roles that get nerfed the least because same builds roughly same damage output. When you get to lanes like top lane and stuff you have no standard set top, you have your assassins like Riven, tanks like Rene and AP's like Gragas. So you can see now in the lane they are going to be major unbalances because there is no standard set bruiser thing bot lane has you have a lot of unique champs that can be played in this lane and atm its the AP tops are superior because they are hard to itemize against for damage and tank tops they scale better than AD top so overall they are the strongest (they beat everything meaning no real counter play) so your going to have to nerf them to make the lane viable for tanks and damage-bruiser tops. So basicly not really setting a standard for everylane forces Riot to nerf a lot of champs per patch but they are really trying to stop it for example they said they are going to completely rework top lane basicly going to alter,rework or change all top laners kits(depends on what your champion you play (e.g. Fiora,Darius have a whole new kit and Shyvana just has kit upgrade) this is trying to make all top laners fit a role of a fighter so overall the lane will be more balanced and will need less nerfs as there will be more of a standard build for that lane all or most champions can use in the lane like adcs and supports. So they are working on that problem with over-nerfing everything but its Riot we might see this S5 or S6 depends what they feel like but i understand your pain man.
