A bruiser is a champ or build that relies more on the ability to mitigate damage to win a fight as opposed to dealing more damage to win. You might say, you are out-surviving your opponent instead of out-damaging or out-playing them.

Bruiser means building tanky. If you are squishy, you are not a bruiser.
