Fighters arnt really building bruiser anymore. they are building full tank with like a rav or a trinity.

standard builds are rush your 1 damage item, then focus into 4 tank items and boots. They arnt building the healthy half and half builds anymore.

Its unfortunant, but i dont even call them fighters anymore. cause they arnt.

right now in the game we have mages, adcs. assassins, and tanks. The classification of fighter really doesnt exist anymore, if anything it just means which tanks will kill you faster while absorbing about the same amount of damage

So Fighters are building one damage item then full tank?

Sounds like the norm of the past 6 years or so I've been playing. Besides, remember what happened when the hybrid defense/AD items were good? Tanky ADC's happened.

Honestly, they could just make those items melee only. Steraks should be that way.

True, but I think Riot doesn't want the game bogged down with too many "role specific" items. Overall I feel like melee/ranged only mechanic is a bit clumsy to fit into the item system League has. A few exceptions may be ok, but too many and it kind of starts feeling convoluted.

I think the best solution would be to make more scaling of various stats. Where any Marksman is going to need some good crit to get the most out of their kit, where as fighters can use more of their base AD stat (such as TF + Sterak's using the AD only gained through levels + base).
