How long are we going to pretend that Brand is not OP

Seriously, people keep saying to dodge his q. Like what the heck. that thing does so much damage even when he missed his Q and the moment he hits 6 he is so freaking strong. He can hit his W and ult and if you are close to someone so that the ult can bounce once or twice, he will take a big chunk of his target HP.

I hate this damage meta, but I still played that until a freaking brand could easily 1v9 if his team wasn't that bad. My last game as kled. He had less items than my team, but he could deal so much damage. After that game I gave up to league

And is not only him. Veigar, vel'koz, zyra. All of them does crazy damage even from behind. Granted, not so much as brand, but is just stupid. He is always at the top of the damage charts. If he is ahead, he will have the most damage dealt most of the time and is such a brainless champ. In lane he will just sit at safe distance and spam W. that thing has 900 range. 900. Do you know how crazy that is. His Q has 1050 range. Some people are even saying that "his range is small". Damn, I never knew that ranges similar to vel'koz are "low range".

https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Brand/ Just look at his win rate and pick rate. 8% pick rate and 53% win rate. Even if we go by that alone is crazy. Champions that reaches that win rate are considered OP as fuck, but this guy is always "eh, he is not strong" and that is the whole argument and nothing more.

Not to mention that he melts tanks because of his passive. Playing a tank against this guy is worse than playing against Jax with conqueror. He mets the tank and he will still have the damage for others because of the aoe.

Since he does percent HP damage with his passive stacking 3 times and stacking with item 3151 burn( and empowered burn with item 3116 slow) it doesn't matter if he has 2 items or 6, a good chunk of his damage is still going to go through.

If you nerfed Brand passive damage and made it scale with AP, then he would need to be ahead and have items to do all that damage.

Oh no. Don’t talk bad about mages, this is the boards.

Because he's not OP, get better. Rush boots like every high ELO player against this matchup.

You'll see most Jhin players literally start boot 4 pot and rush swifties into this matchup Brand is literally just a noob stomper in the support role, he can work in high elo but most people can actually dodge him the higher rank you go.

Tank supports are meta in anything +diamond

P.S. Any champion that builds item 3151 especially a 2 v 2 lane where they have 2 people to attack, of course they'll always have top damage. item 3151 alone will give most champions in all roles top damage Teemo top with item 3151 can be 0-20 and still get top damage easily thanks to shrooms Malzahar easily gets top damage since item 3151 item 3116 is core, it's just a lot of burn damage. It doesn't mean those characters OP, it's literally the item inflating their damage charts making them look like they did more than what they actually did.

Idk whats these guys are waiting for nerf this guy, overbuffed multiple times for absolutely no reason. And this cancer shit is ruining botlane. Aka brand "Support"
