Strategy[]
- Brawler synergy is very similar to the
Shapeshifter synergy. Comparing both synergies at their peak:
- Brawlers have a clear advantage when the champion has less than 900 health, all brawlers are below this amount of health without any items, except for Cho'Gath. Shapeshifters get the health advantage when above 900 health, all shapeshifters go above this amount of health without any help from items.
- Brawlers have an advantage against teams that win in a short amount of time or can delay the mana gain from Shapeshifters, like the Gunslinger, Assassin, and Demon traits. This is because Shapeshifters must wait to activate their health bonus until they transform.
- Brawlers have a clear advantage when the champion has less than 900 health, all
brawlers are below this amount of health without any items, except for 
shapeshifters go above this amount of health without any help from items.
Items[]
- Defensive items help brawlers use their health to the fullest. Thornmail, Dragon's Claw are the best examples, but almost any defensive item works.
- Titanic Hydra can utilize the extra health a brawler gains for damage.
- Most of the Brawlers have disruption effects, chaining these special abilities together can pin down a unit indefinitely. so Tear of the Goddess items are beneficial, if no better target is available.
- Warmog's Armor is good for brawlers, as well as any champ with high health.
- Having all Brawlers also gives the 2 Void units synergy.
Counters[]
- Giant Slayer is an obvious pick to use against not only Brawlers, but for any champion with high health.
- Brawlers love to use their massive health pool to draw aggro to them to let their backline take out their enemies. Assassins or Youmuu's Ghostblade jump behind the frontline brawlers to wreak havoc on their backline.
- Quicksilver and Trap Claw can help ignore the crowd control special abilities in a majority of the brawlers.
Trivia[]
- The Brawler icon takes after the logo for Riot Games Inc.
