Brand's ult

Mecrecon·Feb 3, 2016·3 votes·641 views

It seems that brands ult will sometimes not bounce of off enemy champions, unless there are other champions nearby. At first I thought i was imagining it, but I blasted someone with my ult and it just fizzled out.

This happens because his ult is currently glitched, it will NOT bounce to any non-champion enemies (including jungle monsters and player summons, i.e Tibbers) that are on fire as a result of his passive, the ult will just fizzle out. MASSIVELY cripples Brand's laning phase.

well that's the point of the ult. Shooting it at a single target will do damage but won't bounce.

it's not glitched, they changed the way it works. It PRIORITIZES enemies that are ablaze already from his passive. It will still bounce off of minions and a single champion if other champions aren't around. It feels worse now because it no longer prioritzes champions that are ablaze over minions that are ablaze.

no, there was a glitch where the ult was prioritizing champions even if the enemy hit was not affected by his passive

it now PROPERLY PRIORITIZES CHAMPIONS IF STRIKING AN ENEMY AFFECTED BY HIS PASSIVE. This is the way it was always meant to work

His ult is currently glitched to the point to where it will NOT bounce to non-champion enemies at all, if you hit a champion in the middle of a bunch of minions you have already set on fire, the ult will fizzle out, this has happened to me MANY times.

Before you try to troll people on what they say, at least know the kits of the champion you're talking about. I know how his kit is supposed to work as brand is my main champion I play.

look at the way he worded it bro it makes it seem like he doesn't understand the kit. I'm not trying to troll anyone it literally seemed to me the kid thought the ult was supposed to bounce between 1 person and nothing. I play brand a lot, i own all his skins and he is has 30k mastery points. I have no played him recently, and i didn't know there was a bug, so therefore i just assumed OP was dumb or something lol i apologize.

So now i ask, is riot aware of this?

also, you only have to land your passive on the first person being hit by the ult for it to prioritize champions? i thought it prioritized all people affected by blaze>champions>minions or is that wrong?

First, if riot is aware of this they have made NO indication of it, no red posts on any of the brand ult threads, my making one as well

The way the ult works is a per bounce thing, if it bounces to an enemy affected by Brand's passive, the NEXT enemy it prioritizes will be a champion, if one is in range. If the enemy hit is not affected by his passive, the next enemy prioritized will be random.

Edit: I stand corrected, a rioter did just post on a bunch of the brand threads they know about it and it will be fixed in 6.3

Yea no, I meant to minions and stuff, because it's been driving me insane lately. Also I'm just bad at explaining stuff in general so sorry about that.
