What reason is there to pick an immobile Bruiser over a mobile one that does everything better?

Why should I pick Olaf to ignore the enemies CC and dive when Vi can do it better in point and click?

Why should I pick Darius to snowball my lane and crush my lane opponent when Riven and Gnar do that better AND have a better teamfight?

Why pick Garen to disrupt/tank when Shyvana can do it better WHILE dealing more damage?

Moblity doesn't mean blinks and dashes only, high move speed buffs work as well in Shyvanas case.

These are few problems with this game, there is no reason to pick the immobile Bruisers when you can just easily pick the more mobile ones who do their job completely better in every way except for maybe ONE OR TWO things, but those don't amount to the 10 other things they are outclassed.

Vi gets an "unstoppable" dive, but can be locked down after that. A fed Olaf is a rampaging death machine that can't be stopped.

Why should I pick Darius to snowball my lane and crush my lane opponent when Riven and Gnar do that better AND have a better team fight?

Darius basically wins any extended fight in melee range. Riven can get screwed against champions she can't burst down. Arguably he's also better in a team fight than Riven -- if you can get stacks on people. Gnar is a very different champion than either of them.

Why pick Garen to disrupt/tank when Shyvana can do it better WHILE dealing more damage?

Shyv doesn't have a silence, nor an execute, nor extra multiplicative damage reduction on top of armor/MR, nor insane passive regen. And Garen has an MS boost of his own.

You make it sound like Shyvana is in as good of a place as Vi... And Olaf is stronger than Vi in a 1v1 you have to pick champs for different reasons.. I've been liking Olaf, he has good clears, good dragon control and can 1v1 practically any1 in a man fight.

Plus dat True damage. Accidentally leveled my E first playing him I only had a pickaxe and boots and nearly three shot a guy.

I'll give you one reason: Personal preference.
