NERF BRAND SUPPORT! Can Riot make their step to AD carry players?
I think now it's time to nerf Brand support, like Malzahar and other simillar style champs that comes from midlane, he should get some serious nerfs in botlane. His kit, passive + mastery Deathfire Touch, has too much damage early, pluss range of his abilities, it's impossible to even farm properly as AD carry, because he can zone you with his abilies, if you start to trade with him, basically you are dead only because of his damage from masteries, passive, abilities and auto attacks, AD carrys are too weak to counter that much damage early.
In midlane his damage is okey because he focuses his abilities to get farm and etc., auto attacks are too weak to farm properly. But in botlane he can fully focus his all strengths to do lethal damage to AD carry, it's even impossible to lifesteal taken damage back or go for some good trades with him, he out damages you pretty hard and it doesn't seems that he gets out of mana, (new support item (gives % of missing mana and gold) gives big bonuses for supports like Zyra, Brand and other spell caster type champs, they can cast their spells too much and do much bigger damage in game like other carrys, and they classified as supports, rly?), basically you are dead before his mana is over. I know, you will say, do trades when he has cooldowns, but they are too short, for his Q and he can still AA you, and what's about farming? Do you can do that all together, i think no!
To sum up, i think Brand should get some nerfs in botlane, mby his abilities should get bigger mana cost or cooldowns because it's impossible to deal with his damage overall, there is something that has to be done to balance him as support. And i hope employees from Riot can do some changes in next few patches, good luck! :)
