I don't think Riot has said they are doing it, but if you look at a few of the changes, it is shifting him away from being tanky, health scaling removed from Vicious strikes, better scaling on AD on his Q, but now you don't get his base damage, so you have to build even more AD to compensate and have the damage that he used to, he doesn't have enough CC to be a full disruptive tank, and not enough scaling mixed with a perk for being tanky like many bruisers have.

Not saying tanky or bruiser would be unviable now, but it makes it much less damaging than it was previously.
