Bruisers need proper anti tank runes
Before they had fervor + 7% total arpen rune.
Now they have... Cut down? (which is a terrible rune btw, the whole health difference mechanic is awful for non adc classes, even for adcs its mediocre) and... nohting.
Riot is about to add another strong tank rune but we still have 0 options for bruisers to deal with tanks or tabi/bramble vest.
Building
is not a proper awnser to
or
, as those cost 1/3rd of the price (not even talking about bc awful build path).
Replace cut down with :
Battering blows : after being in combat for 2 seconds, gain 6% arpen, 10% if melee until you leave combat.
its not as good on assassins or burst champs, while being much better on ad bruisers and some adcs if they wish to take it (they give up coup for more burst vs squishies though so not as optimal on them unless vs multiple tanks).
That with a bruiser keystone for sustained damage over time should make stuff like tanks or tabi rush less broken, this would force some inrteraction into those "oh i got 1100 gold and i bought tabi, what is a bruiser? lmao".
