Yes I also noticed that KZ has been a very popular ban nowadays. However, it is not because of an imbalance in his kit rather, the lack of knowledge and experience when playing against him.

KZ was rarely seen in S2 thus players would not have known how to effectively deal with him. As in your example with WOD's KZ, the enemy team picked Olaf as a counter which is not as effective as it would be to other champions. KZ is a strong one on one duelist thus picking another like him is not the best option. However, picking someone with ranged harass such as Jayce or Elise gives KZ a very hard time trading and farming.

Laning may have been made easier for him due to the new items in S3, but he is not the only one who benefits from it. This champion is merely the first of many underrated picks to shine. I will not be surprised if I see shout outs for nerfs on champs such as Poppy soon.

It would be such a waste if this champion were to be nerfed for reasons that could've been solved by playtime and experience. People will eventually learn how to deal with KZ so if he were to be hastily nerfed by that time, then he'd be no better than Rengar is right now.
