Bruisers and Mages need a large scale item rework.

Apparently this doesn't belong in Gameplay+

I am a Yi main who is currently doing quite fine in ranked. So this is not a QQ thread. My champ is very finely equipped for dealing with nearly every character in the game. As a duelist he shreds ball of stats bruisers and 1 shot mages alike. Maybe he is not balanced but I feel I have to play him. I just have to feel for Assassin and ADC mains. With Champions like Jax, Irelia and other mobile bruisers it seems like there is no sense to play conventional assassins at least at my elo. Why play an Assassin when you can play Irelia/Jax who is just as mobile, way more tanky and has sustained dps on top of it. Bruisers should be made so they play more like Melee Carries(my favorite class in the game.) Fiora, Yi, Tryndamere, Riven, Yasuo, etc kill you by building full damage and using their mechanics to survive. Yes some of their mechanics are not exactly hard to use, but they are still mechanics. Yis Q and W, Yasuo's windwall, passive and ultimate passive refresh, Fiora's vital proc healing and riposte, Riven's shield, stun and knockup. These champions are virtually forced to build full damage. If you start building a Randuins second item as a Skirmisher you will be utterly useless. If they do build defensive stats it if they are ahead and have the damage already, but that's just a champion thats ahead. You can build a Randuins on a Fed Vayne/Twitch/Kogmaw whatever to utterly nullify an enemy assassin. tl;dr just rework bruisers, make them work for their damage not chock their kit full of it.

And as for mages, maybe they don't need HP on Liandries, Morellos, ROA, Scepter, Protobelt and I believe there is another one. Also the shield on their Archangel. I really don't understand why ADCs have to run around with 2k HP while a mage has no issue if they really wanted to have up to 3.5 not to mention probably the most overpowered item in the game in Zhonyas. Rework these items too. Remove the HP from Morellos and give it more AP, maybe an interesting new effect or maybe some mana. Remove it from Liandries and Scepter as well.

Oh and please buff ADC, this role is so dogshit. It was a lot more fun for me to play during Ardent than to play against someone like Jax that simply does not take damage if I am not playing onhit Vayne, Yi or Kogmaw.
