Bruiser items make champs too tanky

CLG Splitarshan·Oct 1, 2018·1 votes·1,125 views

I get the concept of bruisers being champs that deal good damage while being able to tank some of it but come on now, this last game I had a Jinx with Stormrazor, Greaves, RFC, IE, PD and Hurricane hitting a Kled with and she wasnt able to taking down by any means. I mean its a late game full build hyper carry not being able to take down a bruiser. I know she was overcapping crits and didnt have armor pen but Kled only had tabi and GA as armor items and those dont grant a big amount tbh.

I feel like bruisers are tanky assassins since their health items gives them a lot of AD too. Look at champs like Irelia, Renekton, Jax, Aatrox, Urgot, Darius, Kled.

Why would you pick an actual tank when bruisers are almost as beefy as them and deal much more damage.

Why would you pick a tank Because tanks provide : A LOT of CC
are better at engaging fights Can protect damage carries

A lot of Bruisers can engage too, not as effectively as a tank but they can.

That is a horrible adc build. So much AS with little pen or ad. DUH

Camille Kled JarvanIV Are the only bruisers that can reliably engage. The others need to either run head first onto the enemy team and pray they manage to catch a squishy or their way of engaging is unreliable and, in many cases, can be easily disengaged.

Don't forget vi or hecarim

They both have engage but they are quite unreliable. Vi has her Q, which is very predictable, unless you dont have vision, and not that hard of an engage and if she uses her ulty you can drag her all the way far from her team and isolate her. Hecarim's engage is also very predictable and not as strong as, lets say, a Sejuany engage. After all you see a pony running towards your team. Im not saying that bruisers dont have engage. Some of them do. But they are, for a big part, unreliable and are better as a follow up rather as an initiation.

so... a Jinx that decided to build like a monkey, not get last whisper to deal with the armor the enemy has and you are surprised that she couldn't deal with someone who isn't building like a monkey? why get 3 item 3086 items? that is dumb beyond belief. Her entire damage was pretty much item 3095 and item 3031 and then she got a whole bunch of attack speed. How is she dealing with armor? even if Kled wasn't building a lot of armor he still had his base armor and Tabis that reduces Jinx's already questionable damage. Stormrazor's usefulness decreases massively the instant you reach 100% crit which is done with IE and 2 Zeal items... yet Jinx got 3 Zeal items along with stormrazor. If instead of PD Jinx would have gotten Last Whisper or a lifesteal item, she would have been in such a better position and would have been able to deal with Kled way better
