A full bruiser team doesn't work in the current meta because in lane the range advantage is massive, allowing you easily dominate a lane (same reason you don't see melee ADC's going into bot, ever. Ignoring the range advantage there's no reason for that) Similarly, late game if you have a team dedicated to kiting you can stop a team of bruisers from ever engaging. If you could survive the lane phase without being slaughtered and don't face a CC heavy team that can prevent you from ever engaging it'd work well actually.

THere is no clear distinction between those two as they are really close together. The actual difference would be that the bruiser has lower defense and higher offense still.

Yea, they renamed them all fighters, it's still the same class though. Not entirely sure why they even bothered changing it.

Also, Mundo does fine without damage because has a nuke for 25% current health which is a ridiculously massive chunk of health. It basicly kills everything in at most ~10 hits thanks to its minimum damage (unmigitated). It makes for a rather powerfull nuke really... And that's not even taking into account the massive AD boost on E & the consistent damage that W gives.
