The reason bruisers are bad currently is because of how expensive their builds are.

To compare bruiser itemization to adc itemization is actually downright sad.

Adc itemization range from 2600 gold ( ) to 3400 ( )

To compare, a typical bruisers itemization range from around 2800-2900 gold ( ) to 3500 gold ( )

And people wonder why adc's are hitting their lategames so goddamn quickly.

To start aiding bruisers, there's at least a couple of options to persue - personally, i'd start by knocking both hydras down to 3300 gold and then looking at adc itemization, especially within crit and just generally making them like 100-200 gold more expensive across the board
