State of bruisers

I am writing this because after 10 years it got to the point where the game doesn't feel fun anymore, and basically only play this game still I don't get a title that interests me. The gameplay for toplane is laughable, it's the biggest joke in gaming history. For the last 7 years somehow Riot managed to make toplane worse year by year and it is at the point where it doesn't matter what you do with a bruiser at toplane, the correlation between winning lane and winning game is negative, meaning that you win more games where you lose lane probably because jungler wastes time getting top strong who can't do anything anyway.

Mages outlane you in earlygame and outscale you lategame while being more safe at all stages, having more utility, more range, more tamfighting capability, more damage to take objectives. They have been broken for a whole season and the response was to make ADCs and assassins have even more damage beating bruisers even more and ruining the game by superdamage meta overall. Bruisers are supposed to be the duelists, they lack teamfightig abilities, still all these teamfighting ranged champions duel them being untouchable by the bruiser, but even if the bruiser gets to touch them the ranged champ still gets to meleerange them. It doesn't make any sense just compare these general bruisers: to these mages being picked: . As I said all of these bruisers lose lane to all of these mages by default, the mages have WAY BETTER teamfighting and utility to help teammates, the mages outscale all bruisers except Jax in which case it's even, and as far duels go they can kite these bruisers indefinitely but most of them still winning if it gets to melle range. So what are bruisers better at? Tanking? No with the damage out there all these bruisers can be locked down and killed in 5 seconds in a teamfights but oh wait mages have and add Vlad pool or Kennen stun etc. and you get that they become better tanks even. And for ADC tops it all. Assassins are countered by tanky champs, but not assassin ADCs because they get to counter their counter? They are the 2 best anti-tanks in the game while being an assassin, not talking about the wonderful item . 's true damage was DOUBLED since release to keep up with other ADCs while abusing it on melee, and I don't have to introduce to anyone.

And the ranged playerbase response: "then play ranged champs", I rather play Dota2 or Hots than having to play ranged champs. You can have 140+ champs to play if 30% of the playerbase leaves playing half of those champs (way more bruisers than any other class), you will end up having a onesided boring game. And it is right now, I don't know how many of these discussions are required to get a fix or we just stand and wait still league slowly bleeds out of playerbase.
