Brand has aoe, and a % damage passive, AP items that work excellent with him. His whole deal is shit tons of damage with a side of mediocre single target cc. Get over it.
Not even getting into all the other team variables.
That's literally Brand's only purpose, to deal a lot of damage. He offers no utility aside from a single target stun.
It's funny how i'm at -1 yet 3 days ago the same thread has 30 or 40 up votes,boards in a nutshell
There are many factor that will influant total damage deal.
-
Poke, tend to more total damage while beeing less efficient than burst/all in for the same amount of damage as you can sustain by life steal or doesn't finish enemy. If you look at Ezreal, he has the highest total damage among all adc while no where near comparable to twitch damage.
-
AOE, it's only good in teamfight, if there is a lack of follow up, it will just put everyone hp low without finishing them. Resulting to more total damage than a kill or 2 but it's useless if there is nothing out of it.
-
Dots, the trade off beeing over time is the total damage at the end.
-
Tank killer, percentage health damage is one of them. Beeing good vs tanks usually result to more total damage. With all the sustain and tankiness you can easly do 3-4x the damage to kill a tank than you would do for a carries.
Brand has all of them, meaning if Brand doesn't have one of the highest damage in the game, he is underpowered.
