^ There is no pattern. All there is is just you cherry-picking your evidence.

Zyra and Diana have been the only champions released lately that have required immediate and significant nerfing post-release. Darius got some slight nerfs but I dare say that was largely due to how annoying he was rather than any legitimate overpoweredness. Jayce has been on the receiving end of nerfs lately but this is justified as he is very complex champion and could not be utilised to his full potential right away.

By contrast, also of the recently released champions, Syndra was horrendously underpowered AND buggy and even today is still getting buffs to fix her. Elise has needed some early buffs to keep her competitive too. Rengar, contrary to what everyone thinks, was a broken mess when he came out and only after they gave him a slew of QoL buffs did they realise that his old numbers combined with his fluidity made him too strong. Going back a little further, Hecarim (despite what you seem to think about him...) was underpowered and needed buffs too to keep him stable in the jungle.
