Bruiser Yone?

Asked by TentiTiger11 on August 6, 2020

I want to play yone top, but he is too squishy, so I thought of playing him as a bruiser. The two I am thinking of using (when everyone stops banning/choosing him) are 1. Fleet, overheal, alacrity, last stand, second wind, and revitalize, with serkers>shiv>steracks>IE>DD>Stoneplate or stoneplate>dd. 2. Conquerer>Triump>Alacrity>Coup de grace. Secondaryies depend on matchup. serkers>PD>IE>DD>Frozen mallet>GA. Which one is better, or is there already a good bruiser yone build?

Hi,

The setup you mentioned gives him the safest possible laning phase, so i can highly recommend using that into most match ups. Also consider starting the game with .

is versatile with items so yes, bruiser works. You just want to make sure that you always get his 2 core items or + , and then you can easily build into more defensive items.

serkers>shiv>steracks>IE>DD>Stoneplate

If you get before it will delay his strongest powerspike in the game. The shield you get from sterak's scales with your bonus HP, and you don't really have any HP items before buying it = less value overall.

I can instead recommend doing something similar to this:

-> -> -> -> Tank items like (best armor item) + / for more MR. is decent but the bruiser who buys it is able to do so because his main form of damage is true damage, so he isn't really affected by the damage reduction. Buying this on would mean pretty much 0 damage.

serkers>PD>IE>DD>Frozen mallet>GA

IMO this build looks a lot better than the first you mentioned, and is also the one i recommend using. gives a lot of HP with a super useful active that helps you sticking to champs.

Conquerer>Triump>Alacrity>Coup de grace. Secondaries depending on the match up.

It's his "best scaling build" but it doesn't really do anything for his poor early game. If you can safely make it out of the laning phase using , then yes go for it because it scales better than any of his other viable keystones. If not, then is a much safer alternative.
