I wonder if item nerfs next patch will help Briar as you mention one item spikes are brutal for her vs others. A slower game means longer fights and more two-three item core obtainability
My issue with Cleaver as first item is that Phage (and the passive from Cleaver in general) just feels like it does nothing. 25ms shouldn't feel so bad especially on a melee champ but something about the way she auto-paths when she's self-taunted just makes it feel like she's wasting huge amounts of movespeed.
