Champs that were nerfed, what was changed?

I didn't play back in the glory days of the old champs. Just wondering what was changed with Scarlett Witch, Doctor Strange and Thor that made them lesser champs? Any other champs that got a heavy nerf?

But...
SW - lowered her % chance to trigger specifically the Regen buff and Stun debuff. So odds were shifted onto the other various buffs/debuffs she can do. She used to be able to maintain health better than Wolverine, as well as perpetual stun-lock her opponents if you used a 4x or 5x CritRate synergy team.
DS - the time duration of each of his 3 periods was increased, thus delaying how long into the fight it took to get into healing and higher attack periods. Also made his Regen based strictly on a “per hit” basis instead of based on how much damage he actually did with those hits. So saving up for SP's during his Regen period used to have a much higher Regen, now they count the same as a single basic hit.
Thor - used to be able to stack more than just 2 Armor Breaks (from stuns) onto opponent. When Parry was first created, this let you easily have 3 breaks, sometimes 4, and I saw someone do a fight against Maestro getting either 5 or 6 Breaks on him (and a high SP attack afterwards basically did Maestro in). Ppl have said the stated Armor Reduction value of each Armor Break was also reduced (not disputing that, just don’t know for sure about that part).
I believe they fixed negative armor in general.
Thor doing 400k sp3s was fun as a 4 star
CritRate's galore (especially when using SW), plus double the extra bonuses from Falcon Recon synergy.
The good ole days
Doc could just control a fight and live forever with his regen. Sp2 did major damage with AB. He's not even half as good as he once was. And he was the most nerfed champ ever. Nerfed him 4 times, but the 12.0 nerf made him complete trash. Reduced duration of all his cycles, lost his massive life steal.
And Thor was the biggest damage champ in the game. 400k sp3's with 4 or 5 armor breaks. Wasn't the easiest thing for most to do, and he had zero utility and was useless vs stun immune. There was no reason to nerf him. Now all 3 are garbage.
Thor with 2 armor breaks and a fury still deal 4k with tech champ as 4* max sig
But yeah,Doc is garbage, he like Ebony Maw with no miss or degen
Starlords combo streak was unlimited. I believe it maxes out at 500 now.
Block Prof used to be able to get so high (was that with Strange, Witch, and someone else I forget, maybe Storm ?) as to basically become a near perfect 0-damage Block on every blocked hit (unlike Perfect Block Mastery/Synergy itself which is only 0-Damage for some low % of blocked hits).
That's why Strange could basically solo most of ROL, would rarely take any damage so long as you were blocking.
Strange - Witch - strange
Cyclops - Black bolt (I forgot if there was a 3rd)
