Can Brand PLEASE get off the favouritism list?

FederationFurry··4 votes·741 views

Just like assassins, there are few supports that escape the nerf hammer too. (Lux, Morgana and Brand) - "Supports that were never designed to be supports". I find it amusing that Riot are such good designers, some of the best champions for a role are champions that were never intended for that role.

Yet these 3 are protected from any significant nerfs while Karma got GUTTED last season because she happened to be relevant for 2 minutes.

I am so tired of this favouritism. Brand's damage is either too high or his E is too easy to hit with... so either nerf or rework him Riot because there is no reason why a champion like this should be viable when you've been gutting point and click from every other support in the game... Zilean, Taric.

Why does he get to have a point and click ult?

Favoritism is the only reason I can think of.

Brand is not a support, Brand has never been a support, Brand will never be a support. Stop calling him a support. Brand is a mage that got forced bot lane after the exodus of assassins stopped him from being an effective mid so he was pushed to the support role where the damage isn't as high and allows him to do what he does, Lux isn't even really a support either, she is about as much of a support as Orianna is, I barely consider Morg a support too, her only support skill is her black shield, and she just has enough CC to work well in the support lane.

Dumpstered last season, has a higher pick, ban, and win rate then Brand in the support role. https://www.dictionary.com/e/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Thinking_Face_Emoji-Emoji-Island.png Mid too actually funnily enough.

Because he isn't anywhere near as strong as you make him out to be.

Because you also have favoritism clearly.

Karma got gutted because she was busted AF in pro and high elo.

Brand hasn't been picked in god knows how long in a pro game and his winrate above plat isn't even over 50%.

Learn to play to your strenghts and into your enemy's weaknesses instead of whining about a lackluster pick.

his R is pointclick wow great, totally covers up the fact you can't use it near more than 2 minions if your co-laner isn't a trashbag and can simply walk away from you.

Taric and Zil had point click HARD CC on basic abilities, and zil still has a fucking point click resetable slow that makes wither look like brand's R slow how is this comparable? xD

He doesn't need nerfs until tanks/tanky champs come back into the solo q meta.

Hes perfectly balanced in the current meta but due to his %max health damage, he will translate alittle better into a tank meta.

It's almost like every single enchanter(plus tanky supps as well) is better than him...

Rumble mid has bigger pickrate than him...
