AA based bruisers don't have optimal items sets

AA = auto attack. Formula for calculating AA amplification. Damage multiplier = 1 + (Critical chance × (1 + Bonus critical damage))

Let's say an adc gets about: So let's say 48% crit chance + 50% bonus crit DMG from IE

1+(.48* 1.50) 1.72 Ur autos deal 172% more dmg More with phantom dancer.

Bruisers get 1.40% with the most optimal item triforce available assuming that triforce on hit sheen is the equivalent of say 30% crit chance (1.5 sec cd). That's if they build triforce otherwise its pretty bland. If they want optimal they need to build like an adc which isn't how they are designed to shine as. 40% plus 15% = 55% with ghostblade. Beyond that you're compromising you bruiser status. Assuming next your getting BT, randuins, spiritvisage merc...

A bruiser heavily reliant on auto attacks should have something closer to 65% auto amplification.

Also thats if they go ghostblade. If you're a jungler warrior does not offer any AA amp. And you can't sustain off of devourer's. Devourer would be okay if you needed the as to complement a an item like the old atmas.

If anything that can surely be said is they have a lack of options to choose from outside of triforce while still retaining some tankyness.

Made this post not so long ago suggestion one possible solution Bruiser crit modifier (Crit base damage) on select items

who the fuck gets 48% crit, and how would you even

item 3031 and item 3046 give 55%, so pretty much all ADCs (with item 3087 instead it still is 40%, so pretty close)

Ya and shiv gives lightning so I figured that could count as like 7% + 1 crit rune gives 8.

I think their are too few AS Items that don't rely on Critical strike. This usually requires on hit damage items, and for that we have Devourer, BotRK, and Wit's end. Devourer isn't balanced compared to the other Jungle items and Wit's end is kinda meh. Making BotRK the only really good AS bruiser item.

I wouldn't call Tri Force an AS Bruiser Item, when it empowers your attack after a spell cast. If AS bruisers are good, their power spike wouldn't be as early as Bruisers who build Tri force. Auto attack Bruiser would most likely spike later in the game.

Well they would scale much like ADCs do. You need to hit your core 3 items or so to really be effective. But even leading up to it wouldn't be that bad. Like an adc with IEitem 3031 , item 3086 and 2 x item 1055 blades and item 3006 can be pretty effective while staying within budget.

By bruisers I mean fighters actually. Or a bruiser off DPS as opposed to off tank. I'd change title to fighters but too late
