Whose Idea Was It To Completely Abandon Bruisers in the first place?

LVL99 Helper TK··3 votes·374 views

How many months has it been since bruisers were virtually deleted from high elo ranked?....... I've lost track honestly. Can you guys imagine if the ADC class of champions, or should I say, Marksmen, were just abandoned when the runes reforged launched and simply left out to dry?

Can you imagine if there were virtually no runes that would work well for adc champions? Fleet footwork? NOPE. Lethal Tempo? NOPE. Bruiser keystone? Check. Melee only keystones? check.

Can you just imagine how hard the bot lane mains would shit themselves if the rune system was completely biased AGAINST them? Meanwhile, we top laners got absolutely fucked and we're just like, "well, this sucks, Riot, could you pretty please consider letting us play the game?"

The answer we got was: "No, we're going to give a tiny nerf to a couple lane bullies (Jayce, Pantheon) and then we'll sit back and continue to watch you get fucked by tanks early game and then ADC champs late game.

It took Hashinshin screaming at the top of his lungs on like a dozen videos and telling riot to kill themselves for any semblance of real attention

TLDR A very fucked up company is in charge of the game we love. This isn't going to end well.

They have a rune on the PBE that has potential for some fighters.

Sion is the only really strong tank tho and 4 meta champs of 1 class is kinda a lot

riot has been kinda neglectful of bruisers since the juggernaut patch.

Who neither of which actually warrant direct nerfs, they were just performing as they always have but the other fish in the pond are sick, its kinda stupid honestly because other champions are suffering simply because riot can't bring some things up to snuff in top lane

No, they were working on it, but i'm not gonna lie, i don't like how it was handled

Nah, they tried something with their brand, it was a shitty call, but they're not a fucked up company in all honesty.

Top Laners can use a plethora of Keystones well enough to have 50%+ win rates: Press the Attack (pre-nerf/post-buff), Electrocute, Arcane Comet, Grasp of the Undying, Aftershock, Glacial Augment, Unsealed Spellbook and Kleptomancy.

Them getting a Keystone tailored to them is nice and something we really need, but please don't pretend those other eight don't exist.

How many months? The answer is: N/A, bruisers are played in high elo ranked.

Perhaps it would do the community good to find people to listen to that aren't one-tricks who complain that their champion is too weak while their champion is a bruiser who is the 5th most picked champion in challenger on their server.
