Is it just me or bruisers in a toplane in a super bad spot ?
Unlike tanks bruisers suffer super hard from constant jungle presure and jungle zonning/ganks,but also they seem not to scale at all(even shit like 
) because there are too much cc/peel/adc power overall in the game and you 100% reliant on your team,so basicly you play lottery.And splitpush sux too.
It is SOOO frustrating to have 0 impact on the game,maybe its just me...
I wouldn't really count fiora as a bruiser more like an abomination but that's just me. Yes, bruisers are dead. We have to accept that. A maokai deals the same dmg as a jax, irelia, camille until 25 mins+ while having more CC, waveclear, sustain and tankyness than any of those. Same applies to cho who is now a "juggernaut" or gragas or literally most of the tanks. Any bruiser just gets peeled away and threeshotted by adcs. While they can still take over a game if fed they run against the clock and be forced to end a game in 20 mins before they become absolutely irrelevant. Splitpushing is not an option since tanks just facetank you under turret and there is nothing you can do. As long as tanks are allowed to only be harmed by ADCs and have ridiculous base damages bruisers are unviable. Oh and don't forget bramble vest auto winning the lane against any AA based bruiser (hint: that's most of them). But you can't discuss this here. Everyone on the boards and reddit hates bruisers. Boards specifically loves tanks and they always demand them to have tons of damage and waveclear for whatever reason. Not sure what their weaknesses are currently supposed to be then. It's just super frustrating to sink 7200 gold into t.hydra and trinity force on jax to get outdueld by maokai, gragas and cho with bramble vest, tabis and RG.
Riot hates bruisers as well for being "unskilled" and "boring" despite fiora, riven, jayce, camille and even jax being mechanically very intensive champs and toplane in general being the hardest lane to play due to the snowbally nature.
I also agree that this constant gank jungle meta has made matters worse for toplane. It's impossible to actually show off and 1v1 since as soon as you leave your half of the lane even by a teemo (unit) you are dead and can't escape at all. You also can't really make TP plays anymore ever since the nerfs. Nearly 5 seconds are way too long for teleporting bot unless they are afk, maximum gold 5 or play on 500 ping. I really do hate the fact you are basically free 300 gold to collect for the jungler and your own jungler ALWAYS ignores your fucking lane and doesn'T even get drake or pressure other lanes when you get ganked 24/7. I've already afked a few matches after getting doven 5 times in a few minutes while all other lanes were losing and our jungler behind in farm and losing drake. BEcause i simply cannot understand how this can happen even in diamond when the enemy jungler sits top.
rant off.
From what I have see (none ranked, low elo) unless you pick a power top like Darius, Cho'gath, Yasuo, or Riven you dont have much impact or carry potential.
