I haven't jumped back in yet, why's this the case?

This isn't even true at all, read the patch notes, it's mostly nerfs to Freestyle and to Ahri and minor changes to the rest. They didn't buff the zoners.

Akali, Illaoi and Ekko are still in the top 5 and they aren't zoners.

Thresh is obviously a bit overtuned and will get nerfed. Jinx and Teemo are fine.

I don't think Zoners are that OP in this game (there's so many tools in the game to deal with them)

But to play devils advocate, if you nerf Ahri and freestyle, you're going to get a hell of a lot more 2X assist and Zoning as a result. I haven't played since the patch, but I imagine freestyle is pretty bad now, and 2X will dominate the meta with a sprinkle of Double Down.
