Brand Buffs?

I'm all for helping some underperforming mages. But until I know for sure this guy will finally stop being played as a "support" who chunks harder than the ADC how about we don't just buff his raw damage? Get this guy out of bot lane.

Brand is primarily bot lane because his kit his good for multiple targets and he has no mobility or reliable hard cc, is short ranged and also two of his main skills are skillshots so he's mostly mincemeat for assassins and junglers. It's overall not a good place for him

They need to increase his mana restoration mechanic so he can more easily afford to clear waves.

Idk how does support works vs mid laning In terms of scaling vs base damages. I'm guessing mid Lane is for scalers while support is mainly base damages. So I think lower his bases by a small nudge by increase his scaling by 20%

You have no idea why he is not played mid. He has the second lowest creep score and top8 lowest gold income in the midlane. A simple dmg shift will only make sure that he wont be played at all.

whats his issue then?

I just told you. Lowest cs score and gold. Therefore shit waveclear. He has high cds and mana costs. You can buff his ap ratios as much as you want it wont help any of these issues. Once you use your E for waveclear you cant use your stun for 10 seconds. If you max your E second to help that you will use about 200 mana just to clear 3 caster minions. Than another 200 to get the melees LOW HP not even kill them. Thats 400 mana just for one wave. Unacceptable for a midlane mage.

No matter what kind of buff you give him he will still go bot lane. Brand just isn't and hasn't been good mid for quite a bit compared to other champions.
