Akali is balanced, she just snowballs quite easily from her early kills. Brand is powerful, but not overly so. Leblanc is strong early but tends to fall off later game, and is more utility than burst. Lee-sin requires a skill shot to initiate, but I would way is rather powerful, though not Irelia. Mordekaiser is strong right now, mostly because it is hard to deny his CS, and he can get very powerful if not kept in check. Swain's ult seems pretty balanced now, I think he just needs a little more to be in a good place. Veigar has never been too powerful. Yorick was released grossly underpowered so there isn't much to say there, he is a really strong laner now, and he has a well rounded kit, but he has no gap closer and no CC reduction so he isn't a top bruiser IMHO.

Xypherous makes interesting champs so I expect good things. I just wish they would let someone else do the passives, since Orianna's and Renekton's are forgettable and nearly useless.
