didn't riot feature a video about hecarim too while he was unpopular and then nerf him when his win rate started to rise in the tank meta?

he was literally the one that started it as "dark horse picks"

I like Brand Middle because it's unique and a good Tank shredder. I think Brand Support is more viable, but usually people get mad at you AND you usually don't get to build the items his kit is just screaming to buy. ( item 3151 item 3116 ) However, Brand Support is still really deadly since his ultimate is the deadliest 2v2 ability in the game.

Only in bronze and silver :P

And a 53% win rate seems pretty tame if you ask me.

wrong. Among plat+ hes 52% for first timers and 55% for mains. (mains are 10% of his playerbase which is high)

he has the 5th highest dmg average per game.

He is very strong.

However, hes not nerf worthy. Many many many mages are just as strong some are stronger. Hes balanced among mages--strong mages counter act the juggernaut+sated/runeglaive jungler meta.

its important to note that he received few good QOL buffs while pretty alright on top of being a net benefactor from the AP item reworks.

I don't mean that his winrate drops off in higher elos but just that he's not in the top 5 past silver.

Why is a champion being #4 in winrate deserving a nerf?

There's gotta be a #1 ya know.

i play various mages and i must say when i decide to play brand i do feel significantly stronger. he may really be a bit too strong.

Because his passive is good, his mana costs are not as high as they should be, and his pillar goes off about a quarter of a second too fast.
