Bruisers don't like Mages tops, yet they go mid to fight mages and assassins...
All goes mid and have an easier time by oneshotting mages and assassins with their full combos

ADC's don't like Mages bot lane....
But ADC's are unviable in Solo lanes or are** highly niche picks** (
)
Don't forget: 
Also Koreans had
mid for quite a while this season and she still is a pocket pick for some midlaners.
thats because mid laners are really fast to adapt to meta changes while top laners are the crybabies of league right after adc mains
They have gap closers. What do you expect?
Toplaners themselves complain about aatrox because he's basically ranged with Q1 + Q2 and if he gets into melee range that's only to Mutilate you or hes chunked you from Q spam.
Irelai/camille ain't that great to face toplane either with 20%hp passive shield on a lower cooldown than sions W. _As well as a Q that eventually deals cho ult level of true damage but she should have fallen of by that point so whatever. _
Irelia is an abomination why else would she have to have been disected so many times since her rework.
is op and op champs go where they pleasess.
Conversely Things like offtank mage Viktor and tank karma were bullshit because normally their opponents would have equal range to potentially poke/punish them which ain't present in a melee vs range matchup. In fact it favours them due to range advantage.
What mage has received complaints from going top and building as a mage? Maybe Viktor counts, but other than that, the last one I remember is Lissandra which was multiple years ago.
"one shots" "full combos"
These terms do not go together
: Went mid before rework
: Flat out broken
: Not a bruiser
: Also went mid before rework and not a bruiser
I think if you know the match ups well enough, taking a bruiser mid is viable. My first time trying to lane against a
or
as a midlaner where kind of tough in part because I had no idea how the match ups work.
