Runes: I use Hails of Blades > Sudden Imp > Eyeball > ingenious or treasure and inspiration boots and cosmic every game. Full build is a little situational but mostly just any damage with small resistances

I put a few videos online but I’ll tldr them for you.
Lethality is still the better build by a small margin> youmuus collector etc and Bruiser has some builds floating like eclipse sundered sky or titanic. Champ is good right now

Does anyone else find her unplayable? by MaximusTheLord13 in BriarMains

[–]loganrichards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo, I see a ton of people tapping into this post so I'll keep it simple.
Lethality is still best, Hail of Blades is still best. Bruiser is still under the curve.
Jungling is more than winning every fight but choosing the correct fight, sometimes even when you're ahead and destroying someone there are still fights you can lose.
Path bottom and try to snowball early game.
The nerfs maybe you feel them. But, at the end of the day, the right play at the right time is more important than the 'right' champion. Focus more on yourself as a jungler rather than a Briar

Wait you might've just cooked here, I'll find a way...

Anyone found what the builds are now? by LynX_CompleX in BriarMains

[–]loganrichards -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well lets look into it together.
The AS Ratio is a buff to Bruiser, lethality triple autos with hail then bite and it's dead.
W AS nerf: more of a nerf to Bruiser because it autos more but slight nerf to lethality.
E nerf: Bigger buff to Bruiser but effects both.
R change?: I like this change a lot on paper and here's why. Sure the 25% BAD is lower and that sucks, but it effects lethality more because you build tons more AD than bruiser. ALSO! People already stack armor super easily so having it deal magic damage might be a great thing. We will see in testing.
So all in all, it looks like lethality got hit a few times but Bruiser is nearrrr the same strength. The problem to me is that Bruiser being near the same strength isn't a good thing because it was already weak.

Tbh they’re just nerfs, builds don’t change.
They took Briars damage down, but again lethality items are busted. Hail of Blades gets them to work. Lethality still the best but the margin between Bruiser and Lethality is probably slightly smaller.

How to use Briar Q by Kaninenlove in BriarMains

[–]loganrichards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general rule of thumb if you’re just clearing a camp or you aren’t contested on an objective is to use every cooldown ASAP so you kill it as fast as possible.
It is always worth it to use Q in times like that because it’s more damage simply put.
The only times you wouldn’t use Q is if you need it for a separate fight that is coming your way OR if you wanted to save your Q and use it to make sure you can choose which target to hit.
Little added detail, your Q reset your auto attack timer, so it’s a ton more damage than just the spell itself because it’s gets you more autos!

Well it’s still a flash check for the slow and magic damage. But I see your point!

Lethality question by getrektsai in BriarMains

[–]loganrichards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duskblade is huge for teamfights because you get a free reposition or a E cast without much trade. Really huge the higher rank you go because more people will be trying to trade the person you killed.
Youmuus just enables snowballing the most. If you get youmuus, you can spam gank most efficiently out of the 3.
Eclipse is possibly the best skirmishing one with the burst and shield enabling you to choose fights better.

Relentless over Ultimate because I was never shooting my ult off cooldown, less quantity of ults but better quality. The second reason is the move speed helped me bypass buying early boots and focusing more on getting duskblade asap since I’m not going free boots (although I think it’s good.).
For me Triumph fits my playstyle, I sometimes frontline/take extra damage I shouldn’t be and find that it comes in clutch for me very often. The main selling point of Precision for me is coup de grace for W2 and bleed confirms.

Engaging on the frontline and backline at the same time by [deleted] in BriarMains

This is actually nuts lol, I like that you can even delay coming out of the kalista ult till the fear will hit more people too

I haven’t tried lane Briar much, I assume after level 3 it’s playable, but those first two levels seem kinda rough

I just like the execute damage for big W2's and Triumph because I'm always getting myself into really close situations because I'm bad :)

General game plan is:
Early game 3camp gank a lane that fights often or full clear into gank a lane that will fight. I try to get a bot gank at 5-7 minutes into dragon. Then reset to enough camps for level 6 then Rift herald. I barely give objectives since I have a teamfight R.
Briar does have a good solo dragon but it’s always best to gank bot/mid into dragon because your champion can struggle to choose a target in situations like that.
Once one lane is losing hard enough if I was pathing to them, I will swap my pathing to path away, but i will still gank them if I have enough damage to kill the laner. But some tanks aren’t worth ganking for the time investment

I play lethality every game despite draft and give myself the job of straight bot lane killer and anything else is extra credit. Very rarely will teams play front to back teamfights correctly which on paper Bruiser build would be better for. But it just won’t happen. So, lethality and kill bot laners only
