I think in most cases it's purely coincidental. When looking at my list of favorite champions, which I'll list below, you see that 3 of my favorites are designed by Ezreal (assuming I'm correct about Sejuani). Now when looking at my preferred roles and champions for those roles. Top, Mid, Jungle, with Nasus, Xerath, and Sejuani respectively. You could be safe in assuming that since 2/3 of my preferred characters to play are designed by Volty, I might have a preference of designer, I can't actually say one way or another, but I personally believe that it's a preference in the way the characters' kits syncronize, and bursty nature.

Sejuani's kit makes her stick to targets as well as be able to peel like a fiend. Nasus, builds massive damage through his Q, and uses his insane slow to keep people in his range, His R to take towers when stacks get high enough. Xerath uses his stun to lock down targets into the rest of his abilities for massive bursts. Each has massive synergy in their kit making each ability actually worth using.

Nasus: Ezreal

Nidalee: Brackhar

Diana: Volty

Graves: FeralPony

Gragas: Geeves

Olaf: Coronach

Sejuani: I think is Volty as well.

Twitch: Guinsoo

Xerath: Volty
