"1 year ago she was stronger and no one ever considered her OP? What makes a champion OP? Ppl do"

1 year ago Morgana had less movement speed, and that was her main disadvantage, now she's ungankable because she has reasonable movement speed to go along with her kit awesome, mid-dominating kit.

But getting back to your quote, yes, this happens all the time, what makes a character OP isn't just that people decide, all of a sudden, that they're OP though, just for fun or randomly. The people playing those characters get better, learn new techniques or combo them with new / different champions, better rune set ups are found, and when these things become the standard way to play the champion that character is considered OP on THAT basis. Case in point, Irelia, played as an assassin was ok, but nobody played her assassin, they played her as an off tank and as an off tank she was OP, so she was nerfed again and again. Same goes for Alistar, as a support he was really good, but you could ignore him when he did his ulti, then Shushei and others picked him up as a jungler / AP and his ult was found to be too strong, so it was nerfed. Morgana's only big shake-up was the movement speed increase and QoL changes she received, but that got people playing her and some believe that they have DISCOVERED, not just arbitrarily declared, that she is OP.
