Is riot trying to give some room for bruisers in e-sport?

Hi,

Wanted to share my thought on the last changes we've received so far and the new items coming along in the next few patches.

I believe it's meant to give some room for bruisers in e-sport on toplane as they're mainly tanks except for GP and Camille. If you put all changs together, you can see a pattern.

  • Jungles changes, reducing pressure on toplane, trying to push the 1vs1 - where bruisers historically excels at (remember s3).
  • Turret changes makes spitpushing innibs and nexus easier.
  • Atma & all those historically bruiser oriented items coming back.
  • ADC Crit changes that would probably make bruisers harder to kill (I'm not sure of that one).

Now, bruisers are already a thing outside of e-sport. I'm getting a bit worried they may become too strong in the incoming patches. What do you guys think? Is it time to get some practice on Jax?

It just makes no sense the extremes they go to.

They can never just fix one thing at a time.

They play this tug of war balancing where one class gets buffed the exact same time other things get nerfed and it just doesn't make sense besides keeping a never ending loop of unbalance.
