They did this to Kog because he isn't supposed to be played like that and the few AP Kog's out there were dominating the game way too hard. Also they do touch Syndra in next patch, her ult damage, her W damage and scaling and the passive effect on W are getting changed. Ori never was OP and never will be, she is way too team oriented to reach an Kassadin-kind of OP state. Viktor is solid, given quite strong with his one-skill-waveclear and his burst damage, but he has big weaknesses with his non-instant stun, his mediocre range, delays on everything and his overnerfed ult (+the Rylais nerfs). Ryze, well, he has strong waveclear and burst potential, but he too has low range, no poke and thus gets overshined by others.

Now to Lux: nerfs aren't needed as she is now, just because she isn't strong compared to others. Lux used to be the annoying high ranged mage, that pokes you constantly until she combos you to death and still stays safe with her shield. She still is having a high range and her burst can't be ignored, but her shield is way worse and more team oriented than before. Also her waveclear isn't as good the waveclear of other poular mages (Viktor, Ryze or even LeBlanc). Her CC is mediocre aswell and not that hard to dodge, in all honesty. Lux brings various things into a team: utility, CC, damage, waveclear. But in all these things she's getting outclassed by others. She's dealing less damage than Syndra, her utility is tied to a skillshot-shield, which isn't even that great, her CC is a okay-ish, but no real lock down or interrupt, as someone as Vik or Ori brings them and her waveclear, as I allready said, is way worse than others. The only reason Lux functions as a champion is basicly her range and the low cooldown on her ult. Because if she can't take an enemy carry out, who was too slow to doge the Q, she isn't nearly as usefull for her team as one of the others champs would be.
