Please fix Brand ulti bug

So apparently there was a bug in Brand's ulti that sometimes it always prioritized champs. Riot fixed it. Great. However, it looks like the fix introduced another bug. I play Brand regularly (actually, exclusively) and after the most recent patch, his ulti is often not bouncing at all. That is, his ulti is not bouncing despite there being targets around the primary target.

I believe it happens when the primary target is a champ and blazed; my guess is, in fixing the previous bug, Riot made it so Brand's ulti will only bounce to another champ if the primary target is a blazed champ (as opposed to prioritizing champs, which is what the skill is supposed to do). Problem is, sometimes there isn't a second champ around, so the ulti doesn't bounce at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks!

Hey!

So, this definitely isn't in the realm of skins, so I don't have a ton of context here, but wanted to pop in and let you know that I've gone ahead and checked the status of this issue.

It's a known issue on our end. It appears that it'll be resolved in patch 6.3 if all goes according to plan!

I just played a Brand game and I had a huge problem with his ULT as well.

ULT was just fizzling after first damage. I thought it may have been a problem with the enemy having Hexdrinker and the interaction with the spell shield.

But did you find this happening even when enemy did not have item 3155 or item 3156 ?

I do recall it being able to bounce between champions. But not in 1v1 when I would rely on bounces to minions

I have seen the same issue in every single brand game played where the ult does not bounce to anything at all after hitting its first champion mark it will just end there

I also play brand and i can %100 tell you this bug is frustrating. Not only does it not bound but can cost you many kills because the random nature of when it doesn't and might bounce. Happened in my games, latest game on 2/2/2016

There's been twenty topics this week alone. It's been happening for three patches now, and has been 100% completely ignored/even when asking reds. Brands not a popular Champ, hell the first (Bug fix took them a year). I really wouldn't hold your breath atm/as I've been trying to get there attention for two weeks now as I main him as well.
