Brand Just wait for that annoying champion to take over game after they buff up item 3151 cause why not riot.

Brand is already cancer to deal with in late game and only thing he can do press R to take almost your team down and now you just buff up his main core items without nerfing him. Yes good idea.

Given he builds Rylai's Crystal Scepter (often before Liandry's) and that his r applies a slow to targets that are ablaze, the buff to Liandry's won't really do anything to him late game (the damage against targets that are movement impaired hasn't changed). It might make it stronger as a rush, but it would besdelaying the Luden's Echo that a lot of Brand players are buying first ATM.

That 0.5% of max Hp will make difference trust me.

You're not paying attention to what he/she said. The buff is only for NON movement-impaired units. Brand mostly rushes a movement impairing item first, so the buff is likely not going to do anything.

This change is making this item more accessible for mages that do not rush Rylai's and/or do not have tons of movement impairing abilities in their kits.

True - which also suggests that Zyra mains now be more inclined to build Morellos first. But this does pose an interesting idea for Brand players - what if you have a Liandry's and then use a W/E combination in group fights.

There are other champs in the game who can be nastier to face than Brand that we can or could be seeing in the botlane (e.g., Morgana, Xerath, Zyra, Syndra, Velkoz). He is just the current whipping-boy. When the meta swings back (and hopefully the Riot devs realize that the MR and health changes were bad ideas, then Brand will not seem as bad.

? That liandry buff was as minor as it could have been to be honest

That 0.5% of your max HP isn't minor if you talking about damage over time.

Too bad fights last like 5 seconds tops, and there is zero change if your opponents are impaired for some reason (which they most likely are in teamfights)
