So I am not a top main, nor do I ever think I will be. However my friend who mains top and I were having a discussion on the new preseason and all the roles, what's gonna be impacted, blah blah blah. He 1 tricks Kled and says that he feels bruisers won't have any options because of the conqueror change, now I was around before conqueror and bruisers were out of the meta for MONTHS, and it was all tanks. So I'm asking today...is there any question as to the viability of bruisers this next season/preseason?

Yes, Aftershock and Conqueror will still be viable on bruisers and while tanks will be alot more relevant with conqeror true damage gone, bruisers are still gonna be massive lane threats.

As a Garen main, ever since the mini rework, Conquerer is the best rune. There is hardly ANY REASON for me to use my Resolve Tree Keystones anymore.

However, I do swap out runes every now and then due to the change in situation:

Predator for either Jungle or Mid Lane, and it depends on their team comp
Glacial Augment for Camille and Teemo (and sometimes Singed)

However, I don't use my Undying Grasp anymore. Why do I want to get a heal 2% of my Max HP every 4 seconds while dealing 4% of my max HP as magic damage to the enemy? Why bother when Conquerer, after easily obtaining 5 stacks, will heal me for 15% of my damage output? That's literally a Deaths' Dance on a rune.........

The Resolve Tree Keystone is limited to Grasp for the Bruisers, Aftershock for Bruisers with ACTUAL CC, (Oh wait, you mean Tanks, duh) and Guardian for Supports. Nothing really stands out for Bruisers as a Keystone in the Resolve Tree. It's become quite irrelivant.... At least the other runes do something for us though....

That's cool

I'm asking during season 10 what options are bruisers gonna have, not what options do they Currently have. The true damage is being converted to adaptive damage and also aftershock is getting nerfed. Grasp seems to be the best top rune once s10 drops and that will result in another tank meta which nobody liked.

Conqueror already had stacking adaptive damage; they're just buffing it. The true damage portion of the keystone is being converted to omnivamp instead.

Why are you/your friends under the impression that the new conqueror will be bad? Hashinshin cronies?

My bad, I should've made my post more clear.

I meant to clarify that Conqueror is just better overall and that there are not that many options.

Also, the Resolve Tree's Undying Grasp cannot compete with Conqueror due to how it functions.

And that Aftershock is the only best Resolve Keystone, but it's situational for Tanks and a few Bruisers that perform Hard CC.

COnq is getting the nerf hammer it deserves next season.

It most definitively does deserved that nerf hammer. Unfortunately, it may not be enough.

It has more healing upon it (in fact, almost DOUBLE the healing), so most "Sustain" champions will have even more, even if they lose the 8% true damage.

Because as a Garen main, I would LOVE 15% more healing off my ultimate. 1k ult damage? 150 free HP thank you. Oh, and Triumph too! Excellent!

Conqueror needs continued watch, and I mean AGGRESSIVE continued watch. It's too reliable a rune, and needs to be more "situational" like Riot **INTENDED ** the runes to be.
