So basically I was wondering if he'll be good enough to use in solo queue again. I was reading through the notes and I feel like the E changes hurt him? Or is the buffed ratio enough to make his E better overall? His Q AP ratio also got buffed, so that leads into my next question. Should I just not build visage on him, but instead rush protobelt into even more AP? Build recommendations would be great. Thanks for your time. (:
I might actually rush Rylais into Spirit. He gets tanky, some cdr, tons of healing, and enough health to survive between heals.

E: 330-820

As you can see, the only thing bruiser build holds over full AP is rocket belt, not needing 10-20% CDR from a runepage (depending on boots), and ~500 HP. The HP is essentially invalidated by the advantages of the AP outside of pure burst situations against you, which don't happen unless you messed up really badly.
AP steamrolls bruiser during mid-late game.
