Either Rushing or you will be able to out trade your opponents most of the time. maxing your W while building bruiser helps a lot into match ups and still becomes really tanky with a bruiser build.

Does This Build Scale?
Yes it definitely scales into the mid/late game. This build also scales way better than the Tank build. With running , the health bonus will help a lot to survive in the later fights or scrimish small fights. Regardless of not taking , you will still be tanky since You're maxing the first.

What's The Play Style With This Build?
Killing isn't necessary for the laning phase; but Zoning the Laner from CS and Experience is very necessary. is able to do great trading vs the enemy if you use your and correctly. After the laning phase is over. Depending on the situation of the game, you can split or group up. is able to clear jungle camps really fast so make sure to take every jungle enemy camps when you can. and helps for the fast clear and fast clear on towers or objectives. You're also playing to catch enemies caught with so make sure you roam with your lead.

Early Game

Early Game is all about Trading during the laning phase and hoping yourself you can get some kills. Focus mainly on zoning your opponent from CSing and gaining experience.
