Bruisers

Can someone please explain to me why "bruisers" like darius needs a damn execute? Bruisers aren't made to do more damage than the fucking adc so why in the hell do they have abilities in the first place that allow them to do that? Bruisers should only have enough damage to win lane against tanks and other bruisers and enough hp to not get one shot by assassins and that's fucking it, and a fucking bleed? Seriously...

Bruisers are mid game champs. a 3,1,2 Bruiser with 100 cs will do much more than an ADC at 20 min. But once that shit hits 30min. That bruiser is going to disappear when the ADC autos them.

ADCs are late game champs that need protection all game but just become more and more relevant. Bruisers are champs that are good early and scale to be strongest in the mid-game, but then just kind of stop being an impact in the late game. They are melee and arent tanky enough to survive for very long against a 5-6 item adc so they just melt.

True, adcs need to be the best class early mid and lategame and have no weakness.

Fuck bruisers. Shouldn't deal any dmg or be tanky or have CC or do anything. They should just look cool and do fancy shit with no effect.

Remember when bruisers used to carry the early-midgame until the adc kicked in? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Now you have mages and adcs carrying everything forever and ever.

I see the perfect bruiser as someone like jax or aatrox, aatrox may do a bit more damage than he needs but I think they have the right idea.

That’s the point of the class Darius is in. He is a juggernaut. Juggernauts are characters who have high damage and durability but give up range and mobility. Their purpose is to be amazing duelists but struggle to catch up to those with mobility or range.

You're argument holds no water. If bruisers couldn't 1v1 an adc (when in range of course), especially the immobile ones, and if all they were made to do was win lane, then they would have zero use. No purpose, nada. As it is, darius is trash if you respect his strengths and abuse his weaknesses. He needs a reward for actually sticking to his opponent, which is increasingly difficult with every new reworked champ and new champ added. There is so much mobility and cc and damage that he can barely operate at all, and some games darius is actually just a big oafish minion for the enemy mage or adc.

He's not even a top tier lane bully anymore. Weak split push, very limited in teamfights unless he gets 5 stacks (which is more in the hands of how the enemy plays than how darius plays). Like, damn, you just want to see him sink.

The truth is, even with all the darius buffs in the last two years, he still is 49-50% winrate across most elos (pretty fair tbh) which says a lot about mobility, damage, and cc creep. Like seriously, he's the least of problems for adcs right now. We have jax, irelia, riven, aatrox, kayn, sylas, akali, etc, all jumping on and stomping adcs with VERY LITTLE counterplay. Darius needs flash and ghost to be useful. Well everybody has flash, and ghost can be easily kited with cc, jumping over walls, etc.

Sounds to me like you simply just got stomped recently by a darius and now think he's unfair because he had a good game or two.
