You must be..

To be fair, Bruiser/fighter mids have most likely done well against generic AP mids for a lot longer than just the last couple of patches. You can blame people for only following for what pros do for the new wave of AD casters/bruisers/fighters mid lane. Once someone shows that they can be beaten by another class, everyone will just flock to that.

They aren't always better choices. Like someone said, you get more UTILITY by playing a utility mage. Most of the champions you name have limited utility compared to an AOE cc like some mages have.

AP died.. ADC is near. bruisers just stack HP.. it's getting to the point where you just use AP for good CC like mumu wheneve rhe isn't banned. Basically it's who trades off better anymore.. you can't really do well unless your team or yourself starves these bruisers, and it is hard... very hard.

even ranged mages are at a severe disadvantage against bruisers starting from level 1 because bruisers have naturally high hp regen and get the hp regen from the tank tree which means they can outregen the autos

You must not play good AP then cause I do just fine. I'm dragging my team along most of the times or I finish with the least amount of deaths and a good sum of kills.

Depends if someone steals it or not... )8<

Not true anymore. Making resistances more expensive the changes to how penetration works and black cleaver have made it so that 5 ad is completely viable.

Talon was never played that much.. his popularity dropped a lot after they nerfed his W harass...

Only became more popular after pre-S3 patch where Black Cleaver got made into something Talon could use very well.

There is a degree of build sacrifice on a team that runs 4 ad champions and a support. The other team can safely build a LOT of armor and hp, and that would more or less invalidate the opposing teams ability to deal damage.

What's more, give me an example of a bruiser with the utility of Orianna/Lux/Karthus/Anivia? I will wait here while you fail to do that. You can't do that because such a bruiser doesn't exist. Having to have a gap closer limits what their kit can contain.

And not all lanes are countered by throwing bruisers into a lane. Having a kill lane bot means both sacrificing having an ad carry AND hoping that you kill their ad carry/support often enough to take their ad carry out of the game. If you don't do that, then you have a problem, a big one.

You're talking like only bruisers are good, but a late game ad carry is still a terrifying thing to behold. Mid game, a good ap carry can melt just about anyone on the opposing team. There are lots of ap mids that do more in a teamfight than a bruiser could ever hope to do.

Can you make their lane harder by putting them against a bruiser? Sure. That doesn't invalidate the role. It just means that your team has to recognize where its strengths are and react accordingly, and know what your weaknesses are and do what you can to limit their exposure to the other team and build to minimize the impact of those weaknesses.

I responded to this point already. It was always true that bruisers counter mages. What wasn't always true is that there are now few risks and trade-offs associated with bringing a bruiser instead of a mage. For example, your team might like magic damage or control. Bruisers nowadays have all the control they'd ever want, and magic damage isn't even really necessary.

Yes this is true but the amount of mages that bring a good amount utility is low. I can think of only a few that have good AOE cc. Anivia, Karthus, Orianna, Vladimir. Other than that I can't think of any AP mage that can do more than there ad counterparts
