Anyone else find Brand "support" to be a problem?

I honestly find him to be a bit too much. When it comes to team fights I find him to be an issue. Hell, even in a 2v2. He has an easy to land AOE that has stun potential during a fight. He also just clicks R and Zhonyas while watching his fireball bounce what seems like a hundred times throughout the team (or you and your partner). Then of course, comes the after effect circle damage crap. If you don't die to that, you're low enough that you either have to run or you get mowed down by the other team mates. Can you run away during his ult? Kind of. Problem is when he builds you end up "running" like a geriatric with a walker. You proceed to keep getting hit and slowed by the ult until the above statement happens. Every Brand I've come across poses more of a threat than their actual ADC and has been out damaging them. I've tried to no avail. The damage is a joke compared to his and the shield was only effective during lane phase. Anyway, let me know what you guys think, and if you have any tips lay em on me.

BTW: Keep in mind this is solo q. We don't always have team coordination for things as simple as "not clumping" during a fight.
