They're the only bruisers not shitty enough to be played at worlds
Yorick is disabled Jax sucks Renekton sucks Riven sucks Xin Zhao sucks Aatrox sucks Mordekaiser sucks Shyvana BLOWS Udyr sucks Vi sucks Volibear sucks
you get the idea
Death by Glamour4 votesErm ekko...
Also ekko and irelia are perhaps the only two that can survive the likes of gnar who is himself a bruiser.
FalconPawwwwnch8 votesis a mage/assassin
Irelia Bot5 votesbut everyone plays him and Yasuo like a bruiser kappa
Death by Glamour29 votesYeh cause mages build teiforce spirit visage and a crap tonne of armour...
Ariel the Cruel1 votesMaybe he meant "caster"?
No.... That doesn't quite work either. :/
Maybe he was referring to Ekko? Ekko is kind-of a mage... Assassin... Tank... Support... Thing.

The word you're looking for is abomination.
Angry Monster4 votesstill is not strong enough but you are on the right track
TurquoiseYoshi1 votesHe's officially (to Riot at least) a Skirmisher, with friends such as Fiora, Yasuo, and Jax.
Ralanr1 votesActually he's assassin/fighter. Weird right?
chipndip11 votesGnar is a marksman when mini, Vanguard when mega. He's never a fighter.
LankPants4 votesWhether or not Irelia's actually good enough to see play at worlds is questionable, considering she was an abysmal choice in the game where she was played and was completely useless throughout.
I'd say Hecarim, Rek'sai and probably Gnar are bruisers however.
BakedLotion4 votesExcuse you, Lee Sin is a bruiser assassin diver initiator dps utility lcsbigplaymaker.

: last used in worlds- ??/??/???? :(
Honestly though, I don't feel it's a matter of "how bad they are" (Wukongs win rate alone has been above or just below the 10 spot most of the season), but a matter of "how good are they when they are mastered". Wukong works well at most levels of play, but there isn't much of a learning of a learning curve for him ( think his most complex technique is explained in his champ spotlight >_>) , so people tend to learn how to counter him pretty easily in higher elo matches.
On the other hand, Lee Sin has a pretty decent learning curve and has a lot of potential if you take some time to learn him. Pro's prefer to use the champs with higher skill caps cause they tend to be stronger when they are mastered and harder to counter because of it.
ProfDrDeath2 votesCompetitive is also a matter of:
Blue Moon Wolf1 votesWukong is pretty versatile and is great on a coordinated team (still remember one video of a 
combo that was amazing) , though I'm not to sure how he stands when he's behind. I know he lacks a bit in the laning phase and if he suffers a lot from being behind then that could also explain things.
LankPants2 votesthough I'm not to sure how he stands when he's behind.
He's pretty good, he can go full tank and still have a fair impact. The problem with Wukong, as far as I'm aware is that his lane is basically irredeemable. He can't even farm against meta champs like Rumble and Gnar, they can bully him all the way off the wave. If you look at any meta over the last few years this has also been true.
This is why when Wukong has been viable he's been so as a jungler moreso than a top lanner. Jungling allows him to circumvent his weaker than average lane. Even then he needs the right meta, I believe that the meta where Wuk was a viable jungler was something like Kha'zix, Vi and Lee Sin but you could only actually pick Wuk if you banned Lee Sin, which was quite common at the time anyway.
YCitizenSnipsY3 votesI guess you didn't watch that Irelia game from EDG. At least Olaf and Lee Sin have wins.
TurquoiseYoshi10 votesMoment of silence for Mouse.
He died again before the moment was over.
JMoormann1 votesThat Gnar and Lee Sin were dirty though.
Bladerunner77771 votesIrelia isn't fit for LCS I don't think and they are learning the hard way.
Akali is SO HOT1 votesShe's a good counterpick against ranged top laners. Unfortunately, the ranged top laners that are meta right now can go even with her and are much more useful than her later in the game when she starts to fall off a little bit. For example, Irelia dumpsters Gnar and Kennen in lane but they are a lot more useful than her for teamfights later on in the game even when behind so it might not be worth it to pick Irelia to beat them in lane if they are just gonna come back and carry later on. Same with Ekko and GP. She completely dumpsters both of them in lane but they are still really useful later on in the game even when put behind.
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesNah GP can do fine with irelia and even kill her with some cheesy exhaust and good barrel mechonix. Though i'd say it's a skill matchup and if GP doesn't get a lead she will dumpster him after sheen.
Tychusfindlay9193 votesWell there is also gnar.
Riot fucked up. I mean, a ranged bruiser... How much more retarded can things get?

Pale Pirate2 votesWell, better nerf Irelia.
Sire Hippington2 votesI'd call gnar a bruiser aswell. Though one could call gnar many things, like for example "god damn annoying bastard" and it would all be correct....
Also, if you count in Irelia and her one loss, Kled should be mentioned aswell.
ABSINTHEged2 votesI hate them?

Snowplosion1 votesIs Gnar just a tank now, or is he still a bruiser? Also Kled was played and will never be played again. Also Hecarim is a bruiser, right? So, you were saying.?
warpenguin5551 votesSkarner was played but idk if he is more of a tank
Solitair1 votesWho in their right mind wants Irelia and Olaf to be good picks? These guys are overloaded nightmares if you give them even an inch
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesOlaf is meh. Either he turns into this literally unkillable and unstoppable murderer running over your frontline straight to the backline with not a scratch or he will end up as an axe throwing bot/use ult to run away bot. From what i've seen on worlds so far is that olaf is trash.
Solitair1 votesThat's the problem: when he's strong, he's just entirely uncounterable. That's why he was nerfed into oblivion(so badly he inspired the phrase "getting olaf'd") when a pro player abused Olaf some time ago. He has to be mediocre, because pros are too good with him. As for Irelia, she will stat-check you, is designed to out-trade you because you out-traded her, and can tower dive with impunity way too early on. Her kit is the epitome of overloaded.
