Don't cry because you can't 100-0 a 400 armor Malphite as Zed like you could in the past. That guy is meant to counter you in the first place.

This meta is one of the most balanced since a long time. Top laners are no longer bullied out of their own lane by mid rejects. Tanks can actually "tank" in teamfights more than 2 seconds. Junglers finally have the impact they deserve instead of being Smite bots. Assassins can still instaburst squishy targets when ahead (LeBlanc/Zed/Riven/Kat still very popular). Marksmen offer some utility (Sivir, Urgot) instead of raw DPS but they can still carry if left unchecked.

The weak roles atm are poke champions (I won't complain about that, they used to turn all games into aram) and supports (because if a support ever does something more impactful than buying wards and shielding an ally from time to time, they obviously deserve to be nerfed to the ground...).

Of course, there are specific champions who are still too weak (Kha'Zix, Veigar, Fizz, Trist, Syndra...) but that feels more like several individual balance problems, rather than a general lack of balance. Even Urgot is top-tier, and he's one of the most refreshing pick in a long time (being one of the only true "unique" champions in the game).
