The issue with the juggernauts isn't so much that they are too powerful, it is the fact that the juggernaut items they were reworked with - sterak's, dead man's plate, black cleaver, etc - are really oppressive options for top lane itemization. It's kind of like how lichbane was super strong a while ago, and everyone was picking Fizz and Kayle because these champions could get a lot of mileage out of it. We had a breif window where Luden's Echo was overtuned as well, so the question was not "which mid laner was the strongest option?", it was "which mid laner can best use Luden's Echo?". The fact is that the item builds of other styles of top lane just don't match up to the power that the juggernaut items bring. This is combined with the Teleport meta that only seems to be getting bigger (now TP is showing up a lot in mid lane), where carry or bully top laners have less impact because they A: have weak teleport ganks and can't match the impact a lvl 6 Gnar teleport can give to snowball other lanes or B: have trouble snowballing against TP-ers because they always just back to base when low and TP back into lane with 5 more pots.
