When riot made the game more fast paced.

Bruisers and tanks fused into one role they all build exactly the same with 2 offensive items and 3 defensive items and defensive boots and 40% of tanks became bad to play along with 70% of bruisers. Compared to previous seasons where tanks built 5 defensive items and boots but cant now or they be come completely irrelevant and can be just walked past. Compared to past seasons where fighters built 3 -4 offensive items 1-2 defensive items and boots but cant now or they disappear faster than assassins even though they both have less damage and mobility.

You should clarify what your gripe is...i'm not following.

Both tanks and bruisers lost their diversity there is no build difference and they serve the same purpose besides the 3 strong juggarnauts which can actually kill things (Mordekaiser Garen and Darius ) and half of one class and more than half of the other class are troll picks where they were meant to be played and the way they were meant to be built.

If you think mord is in a strong place right now, you cray cray. Garen's issue comes from them giving him an extra 25% armor pen for free with his spin. Darius has been darius for a long time.

If you're playing games where your tanks are building that much damage, they're not tanky or the team that tank is against doesn't have an AP champion.

I didnt say that they are in a strong place but they are still strong champions. before his rework darius passive never did nearly as much damage and pretty much no one used him except me as my first level 5 champion and along with a few other off meta picks to get out of bronze before i got thrown back there. the only problem any one has with morde is that the mains what to run down any one with their already oppressive damage any one who melee lane like morde gets out traded in lane unless they are one of the same 3 champions mentioned earlier

As the a non juggarnaut fighter that riot has fixed I expected warwick to be playable in the intended build path where you build damage like you are supposed to but you still have to be 3 quarters tank to do anything on the warwick rework and not blow up immediately. they didnt fix it on firoa or poppy why indeed did i expect a fix on warwick.

This is what I've been saying for a while. Both bruisers and tanks still melt to late game ranged deeps, but at least bruisers have the damage to kill said ranged dps at full build, while some even bring a tank's level of utility/initiation. When tanks are actually allowed to tank, bruisers just end up outclassing them. In contrast, when tanks regularly blow up, most bruisers are almost useless. It's a vicious cycle that I don't think can ever be fixed, for it's existed since at least season 2, which is when I started.

i played in seasons 23 and 4 where borth tanks and bruisers were viable even if everything no matter class were being ripped apart by assassins in one rotation

2 offensive items? I typically see them with 1 offensive item and then full tank, and it's generally enough to kill anyone except other tanks/bruisers/divers/fighters/whateveryouwanttocallthemtheydothesamething

if you sit there and take 12 seconds of hits yes. which with the previous seasons bruiser builds you killed every 8-12 seconds unless hyper fed
