Braum - First impressions
So i just picked up Braum, and this is my feedback. Granted I've only played one game with him, but still.
First off, he doesnt seem very tanky, for a guy who is fully tank support (or so it seems like he should be), he doesnt ever feel like he is really that tanky. In lane phase I kept the adc pretty safe, and we got a decent CS lead, but enemy just played safe at tower, we ended up pushed all the time, and got ganked alot. I understand this is smart gameplay on the enemies side, but it was underwhelming as a playstyle. When we did get ganked i felt like I was severely limited.
I felt like his CC and slight damage mitigation was outclassed by the fact that he could really contribute no damage to a fight. He can HELP stun if you proc 4 of your things, but it feels like most other supports can offer more then that to a fight. Even if ult is up I still feel like he would be out performed by most anyone else.
PASSIVE - 4 procs just feels like to many. The stun is very short lived, and it seems like most other supports could make up for that little stun I contribute with more effectie skills.
Q - The damage is insignificant. The slow doesnt feel that great, and the proccing a spot of his passive is decent, but this skill is superbly underwhelming.
W - I dunno, doesnt feel like it helps out enough at any point to keep up with the damage increase naturally occuring in game.
E - As awesome as this skill sounds, it doesnt feel like it pans out. In lane it is most effective, and his best skill. But once teamfights start, its little more then a distraction everyone can go around/ignore.
R - Decent skill. Should knock up eeryone it hits, Sona gets an ult that affects everyone it hits, why cant braum?
I just feel like outside of lane he has no real good effect. He doesnt feel near tanky enough. Because of the fact that he contributes pretty much no damage and is kind of crappy for a full tank tank/support, he isnt FUN to play.
