As a bruiser main, I can deal with tanks being strong. But please don't let mages take over toplane.

First off, when I define mages, I'm defining them as anyone who builds Mage items. Kennen Teemo Lissandra Cassiopeia Are all toplane champions that build mage items who, when strong, completely dick over bruisers. I'm not so dense that I can't admit conqueror is out of line, and if Riot removes it, so be it.

But if conqueror is removed, something must be done to prevent toplane from being a Mage/tank fiesta. If tanks are strong, bruisers can survive and scale, but mages completely counter bruisers and make them irrelevant.

Juggs and Bruisers dominated top in season 8, and I think an even mixture would be better. The problem is that mages counter bruisers so hard that if mages are viable top, bruisers aren't. I think tanks need a slight buff to their tankiness, conqueror needs a nerf and easy MR penetration (like item 3020 ) needs a slight nerf.

What do y'all think?

I can deal with tanks being hard to kill but if they are easily winning trades with fighters due to being tanky and having comparable damage to fighters they need their damage nerfed to better seperate the classes.

we need item 3161 and removal on conq

PTA and Grasp work good enough, aery, phase rush, and electrocute also are all decent

actually all the runes work on 99% of bruisers except maybe lethal tempo/HoB
