Does anyone else feel like this item can be abused incredibly so. The second I saw this item all I could think of was kill lanes abusing this item to be able to stay in lane while harrassing like crazy. Imagine panth x chogath or Leona x Jarvan. Both get this and both actively CS, both get the extra health and both can stay ahead of a support / adc because of the extra gold it provides in addition to the kill.

Am I wrong in thinking this? Anyone have thoughts? I dont understand this particular items. All the other support items revolve around not taking CS from your adc, and this one seems to want you to take CS (unless your adc is supposed to pick it up but then...)

Double bruiser bot has always been super strong, it's just super hard to play.

I was trying to imitate the meme, but failed :/
However I can see this problem arising and I really don't think it's actually bad. Why not go doulbe Bruiser bot ? It could be fun :)

Im just worried it might be broken. Both would have large amounts of sustain and would be able to out gold any support / adc. And with the introduction of trinkets they would have an easy way to stay even in wards and ahead in sustain, damage and gold.

I feel like it would be broken.

The Problem is, that the bruisers both have to actually buy the item before they can make use of it, so they will have worse stats and more importantly worse damage than the oposing team, who could take advantage of it and destroy the enemies early on.

2 bruisers with will innately win against a support and an adc, supports dont put out nearly as much pressure as a bruiser. Idk I guess I'll have to wait until I either get in the PBE or until it releases to test this...
