It might have something to do with the shift of power. The feel of the champion is often better when you have super OP power of doom, but when they get nerfed the feel shifts and the champion becomes more challenging. Because of this it's easy to feel that the champion's been ruined; you can't survive ridiculous situations as well, your damage isn't smashing anything with a pulse into oblivion, things don't feel as powerful. That doesn't necessarily mean the champion is bad, in fact a lot of the time the extra challenge makes the champion more interesting to play when it's not just a steamroll, but humanity as a whole is genetically hardwired to want to make things as easy and effortless as physically possible, so nerf turf is somewhere people really don't like their champion being because it means more effort on the player's part. In a way, it's actually a good thing that players get that way. It helps to keep the lazy idiots away from the players who actually want to play the game how it was intended to be played.
