Bruiser items need to be fixed (In depth analysis of meta)

--------TOP--------

Really only helps with roaming, but does not help with the 1-3-1 set up. Too expensive, I think is part to blame, it makes Trinity itself too expensive. Recently got nerfed. . even more empowering for top laners, but then again it was so good ADC's bought it. Should just remove phage from the ADC line. ( if you run a custom game and do this, the initial strike spikes to 2000, which is pretty much enough to 1-2 shot or atleast zone every bruiser in the game.

Top tanks can also run further empowering whombo combo press R to win set ups.. (Meaning the tank blowing you up with an ultimate will always kill you if the mid laner is half decent and hits you with 1 spell)

--------Support--------

Duration is way too long when you stack it with CC effects from polymorph/knockups and slows, AND knockbacks

Bonus income for supports? Now they are suddenly buying tankier item sooner. The most hated thing in solo queue right now is

So let's say you're in a premade and you want to run a bruiser top laner; instead of the typical tank top laner and replace your support with a tank. No Pales in comparison Squishy supports giving way more CC Literally every tank support with a knockup is replaced by Janna and Lulu because they provide better knockups.

Ranged linear knockup from Janna is probably the most broken thing in her kit right now.

The only tank support that's viable nowadays is , pillar is strong and so is his Q to reduce DPS champions

The only tanky support items that somewhat counters ardent are; (15% attackspeed reduction. . yet ardent gives more attackspeed LOL) never worth purchasing; a tank item with no health is just fodder to IE and double statics (mixed damage gg) On a side note; ardent should do less damage the more attackspeed you have; to put more ADC's into the game.

--------Separate ADC and BRUISER items--------

Currently the only options for top bruisers right now is.. or (because Phantom Dancer is in a weak state)

As to why this item isn't a melee only item yet... I don't know. It needs a buff but can't be buffed because then we'll see more ADC's running IE SS PD rather than IE double SS But currently IE double statics makes ADC's extremely fast; phantom dancer is irrelevant.

--------MID/AP--------

Top lane AP champions would comeback if was buffed; in return for a nerf. too strong with this combination. is also really strong with this set up, note that Malz is the highest winrate champion right now in mid.

Whenever get's buffed, has to be nerfed.

BTW.. siege mid laners are completely useless too; is in a poor state right now. Maybe if it provided Grevious Wounds; or had an incentive for hitting champions it would be in a good spot.
