During the next season please look into the cost of offensive bruiser items

It's kind of rediculous that every single offensive option for bruisers cost well over 3000 gold. Thats way too expensive majority of the time, meanwhile ad carries get to buy a bunch of cheap 2600 gold items like item 3087 item 3094 item 3036 item 3026 .

Nowadays, by the time bruiser completes 2-3 items, ad carry will already sit on 3 or 4 items, even if the farm is similar, and majority of the time adc will have more farm than the bruiser, unless the guy just afked top lane all game.

That pretty much creates this boring meta of tanks vs ad carries, because there is just no point to buy any damage when offensive items are so absurdly expensive , might aswell play a braindead tank like Maokai Sejuani , so you can atleast be relevant with your cc.

And ADCs are supposed to be the ones that has to farm all game to buy their items.

Bruiser items are fine as they are price wise.

ADC items are just to cheap.

They did a pretty good job with sterak's update. It appears so anyways. Irelia, darius, jax, maybe even hecarim will build it since he uses triforce. But some toplaners can't really take good advantage of it. And cleaver is the only other really good item. Hydra is ok on some, but again, doesn't help others as much as it should.

But you are right that item balance needs some fixing. One of my biggest complaints is with all the disengage and peel options from frontliners to supports to adc's themselves (not to mention mages), people trying to dive the enemy backline can never stay there and do their intended job like they could in seasons past. Sure they might get lucky and get in initially, but then they just get peeled. They have no 2nd gapcloser. Any movespeed item they had lost it's effectiveness upon taking/dealing damage. Also, they only had FLAT movespeed bonus. Meanwhile adc sits on 2 as/crit items giving % movespeed which makes them faster (even AFTER taking damage) than anyone other than mobi boot users and hecarim with e. This allows adc's to reach the point they can just kite out anyone chasing them with no effort involved.
