Bruisers bot in low elo

TL;DR Just tell me what you think of bruisers being played in lower elo.

The last embers of my sanity are hanging on by a thread. I can't do this anymore. I am so tired of low elo players watching pro players, streamers and youtubers playing bruisers bot just to try and recreate the same thing and fail miserably. In my most recent games i've had Renekton adc (with singed mid who went 0 15 3), Vlad adc x 2 and even lee sin with conqueror as an ad carry. I understand perfectly well that bruisers are viable bot lane but i feel like they should be kept in higher elo. Low elo players have no clue on how to deal with ranged carries in the early levels of the game and don't take into consideration the support they have. It has gotten so bad that i've started to play adc (my worst role imo) just to avoid these pics from getting in my games. Out of 9 games where i have had bruisers as adc i have won just 1 game and that too would've been lost if the enemy mid wouldn't have gone afk. Is this issue just happening to me or are others experiencing the same

Bruisers bot actually once were the meta, back in season 1. Everyone always says that the glory days of League (seasons 1-2) were better than today. Well, welcome back to the glory days! Everything is broken, balance doesn't exist, ADCs are being played mid lane, bruisers in bot, and the jungler is a support that just takes a camp and starts ganking everywhere. Literally a return to season 1 meta in its entirety.

Regarding bad players copying LCS strategies, it's really never a good idea. The LCS not only has a comp built around covering the weaknesses of these picks, but it's also true that the low-ELO players doing the copying have no idea why it's even being played in the first place or how to play it properly.

But adc's have no clue how to play ADC either and supports have no clue how to play support either, in low elo. You're just being unlucky with people who are worse than their counterparts and don't master their champions, is all. I really don't think it's a matter of elo to be able to bruiser bot. If anything, I'd say unless you get balancedrelia, it's harder to go against range the higher elo you're in, cause they start to abuse the range advantage disgustingly well.

I think it’s fine. Glad to see more variety in the bottom lane in all ELOs
