league of bruisers

Every game is decided by bruisers right now. My last 3 losses were because the enemy team had the better bruiser. Last game was solely decided on who did better. The yi or the xin.

It didnt matter what the other 8 people did. Yi could 1v4 xin could 1v4.

This is the problem with the game. You cant have a game where champions can 1v4 or 1v5. It literally makes the other champions that cant do that obsolete.

This "game mechanic of 1v4ing" needs to go. It literally makes playing this game pointless. It didnt matter what the other 8 players on my team did last game. The game was decided on 2 people that game. 2 people decided that game out of 10. And luckily our yi did a better job at it.

Whats the point in playing right now? When whoever has the better bruiser is more than likely to win the game. You had 2 champions that were god tier. and 8 average champs. And the god tier champs decided the game.

A bruiser is a mobile melee fighter and/or tank that goes solely top lane/jungle. Examples are Vi, Poppy, Shyvana, Jarvan IV, and so on. Hardly does a bruiser ever carry a game and none can efficiently 1v4 unless they have a severe level and gold advantage over the entire enemy team.

Master Yi is a skirmisher, a highly-mobile, squishy, damage-oriented, melee champion that doesn't just kill carries like Zed and Talon do, but more focus on out-dueling any champion. Other examples are Fiora and the accursed Yasuo. They can carry games much better than bruisers, but are also killed easier and are less team-players.

Now, clearly you're annoyed at some champions apparent ability to 1v4, but with some exceptions such as Illaoi and Swain, nobody can actually do that. If there's a fed enemy champion on the loose, one trick is to not go out alone. And by that, I mean everyone on your team focus a major objective (preferably mid) and when that said champion appears, shut them down. Heavy CC works miracles.

Anyway, best of luck on your next games. You might want to pick up some counterplay tips if possible.

Bruisers are garbage for the past two seasons. The only worthy one are basicly burst assassins like Wukong and Vi

Yi is bad in all levels of play, and while Xin is pretty good in most he does fall off in the high diamond and above tiers.

Also, neither can 1v4 unless extremely fed or against a bad team.

yi isnt bad in all levels of play lol

In NA he has a sub-50% win rate in every division with the exception of Masters and Challenger. He has straight up not been played once in those elos for the last month.

In bronze he has a fucking 44.5% win rate lol.

Maybe at lower levels of play. Anything above that, most bruisers just get kited and die. Even the more mobile ones are having trouble staying alive. There is just too much damage in the game right now, to the point that most pure defensive items are almost useless.
