Why can Braum not jump to wards
"Stand behind Braum!"
"Except wards man, wards can go fuck themselves"

A better question is why can Lee Sin jump to wards? Using a spell called Safeguard that doesn't offer them any protection.

Because it was a bug that Riot thought was cool, so they kept it.
It wasn't a bug, ward jumping was around far before Lee via Kat and Jax.
That was also a bug. None of them were originally intended to be able to ward jump. They can because wards are re-textured minions. Braum's jump exempts wards. They fixed this on all the other retextured minions though (Anivia wall for example).
Ward jumping in general was a bug on both Kat and Jax as well.

Because of the amazing LC$ q wardhop ulti plays man.
But my Braum Q ward-hop-auto into ultimate then follow-up stun Big Plays!
because if they tried to remove it, all the lee sin mains would cried an ocean so salty it would make the dead sea look alive. that and the amount of rage/screaming they produced would bring the world's temperature up 5 degrees.

They did try to and lee sin mains and kat mains DID cry an ocean so salty. Riot caved like any bad parent would so now we have CLEAR unfair/unbalanced issues staring at everyone in the face like Talon, a cost-based assassin, who can't hop to wards yet Katarina, a cost-free assassin, still can.
IMO this would have probably balanced Lee Sin a long ass time ago without most of the other "nerfs" he got. Though I guess you couldn't make half the plays without ward jump.

The problem is clearly that wards don't stand, they sit.
They don't have feet, man. They're trying their best.
Shhhhh, he's just a ward racist.
i don't think riot likes ward hopping anymore
Ward jumping as a mechanic should be removed from the game, not expanded upon.
Nobody should be able to... but if
and
can he probably should too.
wardhops
has something better than a wardhop
is also bullshit
isn't a targeted ability, she may be too mobile but at least she does it using mechanics that make sense (a normal dash) instead of using ward targeting
Only if he can shield dmg intended for the ward to take and lose 1/3rd of his max hp other than the ward. ...and only if it's the poro wards.

The reasoning they gave during Braum's Q&A was that it would be awkward for an ability themed around protecting allies to be used on wards.
Which of course is complete fucking garbage since the name of Lee Sin's wardhopping ability is Safeguard and has a nigh-identical description.
The key difference in the description: "Lee Sin can activate Safeguard on himself to receive the shield". Braum can only jump to allies. Lee Sin actually benefits himself when casting safegaurd on a ward.
thats bullshit braum can also cast his jump to protect himself
Save himself? sure. but he cant cast his jump without a target to get the extra bonus MR and Armor, while Lee Sin can cast his safeguard to shield himself without a target.
Edit - actually, he can. nevermind. But it doesnt say so in the description
Why should Lee?
I would make an exception for poro wards, but I don't like ward hopping, it's a stupid mechanic that rewards players for using wards improperly.
It's funny how Braum can't ward hop because he would go into the black line and knock all the enemy team up in one straight line, turning maplhite into something useless and meanwhile
can do the SAME thing and to add more salt to injury, he kicks the enemy ADC or APC right to the other team, while having the damage ratio of assassins.
Because that would make him OP.
Ward hopping is an inherently bad mechanic.
Because not everyone needs unconditional mobility just for the sake of it...Braum is fine as he is (currently he´s making huge waves in the LPL actually, even getting to firstpick-status).
i was thinking about this in a game with a braum if kat, lee, and jax can do it, why cant braum?????
Braum isn't blind and would obviously look silly jumping to wards.
Lee Sin on the other hand is blind and therefore can't tell the difference between a ward and an ally.
More like why can't Elise target wards, she's a spider.
More like why can't Elise target wards, she's a spider.
She can target enemy wards as long as she has vision of them!

she can target enemy wards which is nice I actually escaped once because of a ward I was clearing out and then I got double ganked
MUST GIVE WARD ARMOR AND MR!!!
Braum gives wards one million bonus armor and magic resist. This results in 99% damage reduction. Wards still have 3 health.
They don't want him being the next Lee Sin in the jist of it.
Braum is intended to be a purely defensive champion, with incredibly unreliable engage. He's also intended to work with his allies. Allowing him to ward hop would kinda break both of those. Don't need a Braum going all Insec on your team.
Bcz fk that OP Mustard
It's making less and less sense now that there's poro wards.
You're saying that Braum doesn't protect poros? You serious? You mean the thing that his goddamn introduction was tied around?
IMHO, no champion should be able to jump to wards.
Because he isn't a fighter or an assassin.
Probably because Riot has realized that ward jumping is bullshit.
Now if they could just do something about the current ward jumpers without their "mains" (abusers?) burying Riot HQ in salt.

Cz Braum would be acting as silly as the one above.
because wards don't do damage, so braum doesnt jump to them, but lee sin is blind so he jumps to anything he wants
baron should be a champ then just saying
i think riot said that it will make
op in bot lane or make him op in top lane they didn't want him to be a solo laner or a op support so they took it out. but
are fine even those it op for them, while
can't

what are these "wards" you speak off? Never used one
As a Braum player, I have thought about that. I feel that no champion should be able to jump onto wards.
