Testing different Bruiser Build on MID after crit changes
After Changes to Q I decided to buy crit items but still remain tanky. We benefit from crit way more now than before, and crit scales great on our Q the more AD we have. Shojin is still in my view the BIS item for smolder, no doubt about it.
Shieldbow instead of BC, due to BC being much weaker now compared to LDR.
LDR/IE/MR is a must as 3 or 4.
Boots for MID I always choose as usually Omnivamp if can, but if enemy team heavy AA then Steelcaps, or Mercs vs Heavy CC with AP.
2 items for defense:
ARMOR: Death dance is great armor item + heavy ad bonus buff and AH. Can go GA but I find it hard to use it well, usually I die even with GA or GA doesn't get procced, that way I get less value if It procced and I survived.
MR: Kaenic is my still favorite item, a perfect counter to Long range poke mages or assassins.
Since our items lack AH I try to get the most AH from runes, and this runes page felt great to play with.
