Bringing Champions Back To Life
Hello. Sorry if the title sounds odd or confusing, but I would like to say that some champions are completely phased out of the game compared to other champions that shares the same role as them it seems. So I decided to post some change suggestions for some champions that I would like to see more.
Ah yes. Braum. The Manly Support. The Manliest Support. Out of any "support", I feel as though Braum is sadly phased out of any thought of being brought into a game. So here are some suggestions.
W - Stand Behind Me: Now this ability is rather "iconic" to Braum as he was meant to be the "I will protect you!" Support. Sadly Braum is overshadowed in that concept. So I wanted to try and emphasize a bit more on that.
Make it so that W has a similar interaction like
Soraka/
Rakan. Perhaps slightly longer range or faster leap when an ally is below 50% HP. Maybe even both? (Probably too much.)
E - Unbreakable: Another one of his "iconic" abilities, but it lacks the protection against AoEs that bypasses this very easily. I want to give this a bit more leverage when you're playing Braum when against very heavy AoE comps. Give E a rather small aura/circle around Braum when cast that reduces AoE damage by a small percentage and will only apply to those that are the closest and/or the one they cast W on. Rank 1 -> 5% and 2.5% per Rank into it up 15% reduced AoE damage. Or something like that.
Poor, poor sad little...mummy? Mummy boy? Yordle? Whatever they are. Amumu has been a champion that I love, but they have not been loved back as much.
Passive - Cursed Touch: Now this is something I kind of don't understand about. The passive is called "Cursed Touch" yet this will only ever apply to an enemy if Amumu basic attacks them. I know this is perhaps for the sake of balance. But is it possible to have it apply to enemies that basic attacks Amumu? Kind of like a
Thornmail that debuffs the enemy. This would fit more into their thematic as something or someone you wouldn't want to touch. This would also be much more "feels good" to play with as basic attacking multiple enemies as Amumu is incredibly slow to apply this. And yes, I know, their ultimate will apply it to any enemy caught in it. But this is also rather slow as it's an ultimate on a lengthy cooldown without the exception of Runes and/or full CDR. As well as the only time it will be "useful" at that moment when it is used. And yes again, I know, their W will refresh it as long as you're hurting them with it. This is all just my opinion.
E - Tantrum: I kind of like this ability as it encourages the player as Amumu to be on top of the enemy and deters them from basic attacking them. But of course, this is "somewhat" lacking. In my opinion, this ability doesn't exactly need a change per say. But I feel as though it could do with a minor change. So the suggestion I had in mind was a minor speed boost towards enemies that would basic attack/damage them or any enemy champion that they hit with E. Again, this ability doesn't really need a change per say, this is just a suggestion.
This is overall just some suggestions. Some perhaps too much otherwise perhaps too weak or unneeded. But I feel as though these champions had not been seen in much more play than they should have. So these are just some thoughts I had in mind.
Thanks for reading and comment on who else do you think is completely obscured by other champions.
