Are Bruisers Viable Botlane Finally?

Some can be. Panth has been a thing for awhile now. Illaoi works some with her E being a poke and Anti Junlger gank with her Ult. Sion works.

I think bruisers in bot lane have always been situational because they get hard countered by defensive supports. The problem is the bruiser lane has to decisively win lane against an ADC lane or else there was really no point to having the bruiser lane.

Why do people want this, I really wonder.

We already have Bruiser on Top, JGL occasionally in Mid.

Is that your dream Teamcomp?
Top ---- JGL --- MID - BotA - BotB ?

Why? What's the Point? Diversity? Ever heard of? And don't act like there would ever be a META where you're able to play both this and regular since those lanes either work and are busted because they do or they dont and are troll picks - there is no room in between!
