Riot is nerfing her because pro players have begun playing her as support. Her high Solo Queue ban rate also supports their decision to nerf her. I agree that it's really stupid, but since her last nerf which was unnecessary, she was in a good place. She doesn't particularly scale well into late game because of her somewhat limited range and low base defensive stats. If you build her full AP like some people here were talking about then you're most likely going to get melted before team fights even begin. People don't want to deal with their MR being useless against her so they ban her instead of sending someone top with sustain to shut her down. Yorick, Cho, and Renekton do a great job at this.
