@Meddler, After mage update, the next ones should be Top lane bruisers

Because most of them are in the worst possible state right now.

1). You can hardly get lead against a tank in lane, because a). You need items to do more dmg, and b). Most of them are having a high base dmg , coupled with many defensive steroids/spells (Poppy/Naut/Rammus/Malphite etc.)

2). You get stomped early by fucked-up champions like Quinn/Graves/Lissandra etc.

What champions i classify as bruisers ? A guy who can take punishment and deal out damage, while having a decent to a good amount of mobility. Right now, they can't take punishment, and they deal a little more dmg than a tank, and much less dmg than an ADC.

Champion.gg winrates right now of the above class :

Top lane : Tryndamere - 52.28% Wukong - 51.91% Fiora (the most overpowered recently) - 45% Jax - 48.4% Aatrox - 47.49% Irelia - 47.61% Olaf - 45.26% Renekton - 48.95% Hecarim - 46.73%

Compare those winrates with other classes winrates and you will see the gap is huge. Another fact is that although some of them have low winrates, their playstyle tend to frustrate enemy opponent thus making them look overpowered. See Jax,Fiora for example, who, although they have <49% winrates, they have a banrate of 15%, respectively 25(!!!!!)%. Other, are like feast or famine. Get ahead, make people ragequit (Olaf/Aatrox/Tryndamere), while when behind it turns the game into a 4v5. There are lots of other issues with them, i can't cover each one right now. What worries me more is that they are lacking identity right now. And if we could somehow make them more viable again (LCS playrate of them is very low), we could have a lot more diversity in this game.
