OP here, what I wanted to point out is, that Karthus relys on his ult, since he has no special Combo like Kennen, Malz, Veigar etc. You cant use his ult effectively during a fight, as it's dmg is quite low for the time it takes to cast and most likely you get interrupted. increasing his already 120s cd on max lvl directly affects his potential. Karthus mostly shines because he gets some kills/asist via his ult that would otherwise be unreachable while putting out a decent harass to the entire enemy team. And most likely it were some noobs QQing because their full-offensive champs got hurt by karthus after they got a kill, as his 1v1 potential isnt that great.

LB in the hands of a player used to her always had WAY MORE potential due to her combos, she always was able to kill almost every enemy mid champ and roam like a boss with a really good innate-escape.

And Karthus was/will be played by pros not because he's a good champ itself but because they'll have mostly even lanes and a ult of you can change their fights, same goes for shen: he isnt the best tank but his ult can turn a 2v2 fight into 2 kills 0 deaths and pros hate nothing more to play against something uncalculatable.

i.E. a pro LB goes for a Pro Karthus, he'll know its a 100% kill but if the enemy has a shen he could pop his ult and taunt you resulting in your death and their survival.

Thats mainly the reason a Pro Player would never say Darius is OP, because he is very calculatable. On the other side Urgot wont be played much by casual players, as his dmg is quite low (compared to stuff like Darius) but Pro-Teams love to have one of them as he is able to (most likely) sacrifice himself for a sure kill on the enemy carry.

So I am not the kind of player that QQs about every nerf on a Champ I own nor the kind of player that QQs about a buff on a Champ I dont own... I am just sick of Riot changing Champs ONLY because many players QQ about it. It's the same as it was on Guild Wars, once there were Chars/Builds that were unkillable by not Mesmers and since no1 really liked to play Mesmers they had to nerf it... so mesmers are still not used much.
