The thing a lot of people fail to recognize is that a lot of (specifically junglers) champions are nerfed to shift that champion into the role riot intended. For example, Elise and Nunu (post rework) were meant to be slow jungler's that secure objectives and assis the team later in the game. But what happened is that nunu become unfun to play against because he just counter jungled and made jungling hell and elise was a tanky burst mage that had rediculous tower diving capabilities. They fixed this to make them less potent. Thus practically removing nunu from the public eye until smite's cooldown was reduced. and elise champions like elise and kha zix will always be played, there is no possible way to make them un-meta'd (un-meta'd? demeta-ed? De-meta-susaned?) they will always be strong picks, elise is perfectly balanced, and so is kha zix. and now that feral flare has been nerfed it now on par with the spirit stone items a lot more junglers are becoming more viable in a sense of keeping up with stronger junglers. To be honest, there are only a few champions in the game that are truly unplayable *caughaniviacaugh* and only three champions that are truly overpowered....looking at you Renekton, Morgana and Vi......
