Why are top lane Bruisers allowed to build full tank and do amazing damage?

I can not count the amount of games i have played against a so called "Bruiser" and lost. They build full tank and do more auto attack damage than master yi. Playing against them is a nightmare and even when you are paired up against one who can actually be outplayed like illaoi they can miss all skill shots and then auto you to death. All the while they take no damage. And yes ik you higher elo kids are gonna come in here and say you just suck, those champs are easy. And yes they are easy to you guys but to the lower elo players like me and way over half the community it is sometimes impossible to play against.

your post is hugely exaggerated or you in fact do suck. either way you post holds no merit as a result. in the future you might want to clam down a bit and make a rationale argument for the point you are trying to prove.

Because they are slow and immobile.

Because champion class does not determine individual performance.

An individual player who outperforms and gains advantages over their opponent will have their champion then outperform the opposing champion, regardless of the class of the champion.

The reason why is because bruisers dont have as much CC as real tanks or supports do. They're also not as mobile as assassins, so what they do have is damage and tankyness. Champions like Darius and Renekton would be useless if they had to build full damage just to do damage. They would just get kited and destroyed with ease, so they need a combination of both tanynesss and damage.
Darius doesn't have as much CC as Leona or Amumu so he makes up for it in damage. He is also not as mobile as Zed or Yasuo, so he needs tankyness to not die instantly in team fights. Now the same concept applies to all the other fighters too, like Renekton, Illaoi, Garen, Irelia, Vi and etc.

Just incase you didn't understand, let me explain it backwards. Tanks like Leona, Amumu and Sejuani don't need as much damage because they got more CC so they can hold someone down long enough for another teammate to pick up a kill. Assasins like Zed, Katarina, and Yasuo don't need that much tankyness because they got mobility.

That's how riot balances it.
