The current and upcoming state of the Toplane/of Bruisers & Fighters

So here is the thing.

Riot removed stuff like Brutalizer and changed LW because items like that didn't allow a Tank meta. When i asked Phreak about Brutalizer and why they removed it, he said "It did too much and didn't allow Tanks against bruisers because they would just be useless"

Now, that we have the Tank meta for so long, why can't we have items like those. Yes Armor pen has been replaced with Lethality and there are only few Armor pen items left but this is what helped against tanks. We also don't need that much changes to AD items but rather changes to the base stats from Tanks.

On the PBE, there is an Ornn nerf to his W with less damage and increased CD but does that help? No, i don't think it will because his base stats are still insane and the base resistances for Bruisers/Fighters in the toplane aren't high enough to withstand this and somehow do anything against tanks. The Runes they have provide them with everything they need to become the best picks possible in the lane without any kind of counterplay no matter if the enemy is a ranged Quinn/Vayne/Lucian/Gnar/Jayce.

Riot already mentioned that they want to adjust some items and buff them and some champions or even nerf some etc. I think, everything was fine until they introduced us a System where it isn't really worth picking a Bruiser but rather a Tank champion to win games. I haven't seen any Toplane matchups where there are 2 Fighters/Bruisers for example Riven vs Fiora, Camille vs Fiora etc. there is always atleast 1 tank in the team and thats the toplane.

I know i don't have any impact on how Riot will do stuff in the 7.24b patch but i would rather see Predator/Dark Harvest being removed from the tree and add something like Fervor into it.

Also, an early purchase on LW should be a good choice on a Fighter/Bruiser if we would still have the old Buildpatch for it (Pickaxe into LW).

Speaking of Buildpaths, i think BC would need its old Buildpath back with Warhammer + Phage = Black Cleaver. It gave more AD and helped Fighters to transition into the item more. You could get a Warhammer for 750G if you started with a Longsword and it would give you +25AD where phage only gives you +15AD and some HP but this is the only damage resource you get until you finished BC which means, you sit on your base AD + 15Ad from phage until your BC ins finished where the Tank on the enemy team would just have to rush Tabi and Bramble vest. These 2 items cost 2100 Gold in total where BC costs 3000 Gold.

This is my opinion on the current Toplane "Meta" Would like to hear your opinion on this.

P.s. dont buff sunfire again please :( next up is gauntlet and we got what we had back in 2016..
