Kyahahaha, I just recalled my first game as Renekton where I went against another Renekton at top lane. he went for berserker's greaves and black cleaver, when I had Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Youmuu's Ghostblade. I thought it was silly, since I completely wrecked him in lane as a first time free-week Renekton. I don't really considered Renekton a bruiser though, as he has fairly little sustained damage. He's not innately all that tanky, but he does have a lot of burst. I'd say he's in line with Riven and Garen. All of them rely heavily on skills for damage, though Garen's the only one of the three that really benefits from crits. As for the idea that champions should always be a tank/carry/support... When's the last time someone seriously played a tank as a tank specifically to tank? I don't mean to sound unclear by being repetitive, but bruisers tend to be tanky enough to initiate and those who play tanks usually play them as support tanks or even as faux bruisers. I've only really ever seen Shen played as a full tank, and he's probably the only one that's viable as such. But no one plays full tank now, because Vayne will blow them away quickly and easily.
