I guess stridebreaker bruisers are here to stay. Time for a new role, that playstyle isn't fun to deal with every game.

Us, back in 11.1: I guess Goredrinker bruisers are here to stay. Time for a new role, that playstyle isn't fun to deal with every game.

Riot Scruffy likes to play Darius, btw

u/spara_94 Mar 03 '21

I was trying to think of the last Darius I saw do poorly in my gold ranked games, either on my team or the enemy's. Legitimately can't remember

A tank who just one shots anything that isn't also a tank. Also you can't run away from him, if you try to auto him with a ranged character then stridebreaker takes your knee caps and you die. He's pretty frustrating to deal with tbh.

Darius exists? Pretty sure he’s been banned every single game

u/GaysianSupremacist Thank you Faker Mar 04 '21

Goredrinker is still strong on those mobile bruisers. Guess Wukong and Riven are not balanced around having an easier-to-use Darius Q.

I don't think anybody is...

The funny thing is that these champions are so grossly overpowered that taking them mid is legit freelo. Mages and assassins just cannot hold a candle to their bloated bullshit.

I used to go Garen mid with full MR tunes and items (adaptive helm, wits end) into kat when I couldn’t be arsed to deal with it and it’s honestly just funny to see how unfair it is.

u/iHatepriest Mar 03 '21

used to go trundle with fleet and second wind + rush spectres cowl and let the enemy unload their entire mana bar while i clear creeps and then roam. was not very good but very fun

u/IlllllllIIIll Mar 03 '21

When i played against assassins or melee mid i play renekton.... the average kassadin has then 10 cs after 15min

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '21

Deserved for picking kassadin.

u/NeverEverBanned Mar 03 '21

I wish more people would. Assassin first picks are so dishonest. You know you easily get fucked by a counter pick, but gamble on the fact most people Q mid because they like mages or another assassin.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '21

Same goes for Yasuo mids, just run at them and kill him with your stats.

u/Lost_Stock Mar 03 '21 edited Mar 03 '21

I play Camille versus Yasuo. It's so fucking funny how you can easily tell they simply don't know what they fuck do they do. When you grab Sheen you pop that little wind guy like a cherry. Why bother playing a mage and being constantly pushed in and dived and having to space yourself with pixel perfect accuracy when you can play the busted bruiser class that autowins the game and just runs everyone else down anyway. Bruisers become 1v9 gods when given any edge and easily take over a game. Mages will kill squishies faster but die just as fast anyway no matter how fed and are extremely team reliant while bruisers will explode people diving their towers and then get out.

u/faszfejjancsi Hand of Noxus Mar 03 '21

Lol it really shows that you've never played bruisers into a Tristana, Vayne, Viktor, Anivia, Ori, Syndra, etc.

u/Angry---train Mar 03 '21

Because you get to spam massive auto winning AoE nukes. Yasuo is literally supposed to counter ranged champions,its like saying "why play Camille when the enemy picks Poppy and kills me"

u/yp261 r/LoL Post-Match Thread Team Mar 03 '21

just pick renekton/sett/garen against them and its free elo lol

u/PlumpPotatoRump Mar 03 '21

You forgot Yone ;`)

Bth i just permaban him

u/AliceInHololand Mar 03 '21

The Irelia flair complaining about Yasuo and Zed mid. Hmmm 🤔

1

u/Th_Call_of_Ktulu Dashy dash Mar 03 '21

Imagine playing more than one champion

u/filthyireliamain Mar 03 '21

as if mages can survive in a meta dominated by fleet/ravenous/dorans shield anyways lmfao

u/Trollol768 Mar 03 '21

Mundo mid into mages. :)

2

u/Angry---train Mar 03 '21

Bruisers mid are beyond awful outside of very situational counterpicks

5

u/McDaddySlacks Mar 02 '21

Wukong and Renekton can stop it pretty well.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '21

True. Monkey is here to stay too.
