Why does Yasuo get to block every ranged ability, but Braum takes half of it?

Seriously, he's a defensive support. Like, I get he can move around and stuff but its still just as small, and yet Braum, who doesn't deal fuckloads of damage(granted he still does more than some supports, he obviously doesn't get double crit chance or some shit), gets to eat everyone's damage.

I mean, you can say his ult is good is team fights, but Yasuo basically has his ult every third Q, minus the mega slow in the area and I think it goes a little slower. Yasuo also gets mega mobility and a good team fight ult... plus a version of Braum's shield? Its like an immovable version, but it gets bigger with rank. A lot bigger. I don't know, just seems a little unfair to me. And I'm not just raging about a game against Yasuo(heck I don't even remember playing against him since yesterday).

It's not unfair. You need to get yourself checked if you think Braum needs buffs.

You can move Braum's shield, he can even dash with it. You can just walk through Yasuo's wall and throw your spells/AAs, you can't do it with Braum. Braum's ult is BETTER version of Yasuo's Q, because he can use it whenever he wants without any preparation, unlike Yasuo's "Oh, they are 5 in line, but i can't knockup them, i need 3 seconds of using Q". Also Braum got a passive so great any AD based champion would trade their passive for this. And also Braum can go tanky while being useful, unlike Yasuo.

If you actually think about it "Windwall" it shoots all projectiles up into the air. Braum just gets bashed in his shield.... I would love to agree but the slight difference would be the argument.

Braum's shield blocks 100% of the first hit, so popping it as soon as you see something like a Cait ult is the ideal time. But the reason it's weaker is because it's mobile and causes Braum to take the damage. If Yas puts a wall he has to be on the front line and stay behind it, and he usually wants to be in the back until there's a knock up. Braum's shield also is on a lower CD when you max it and build CDR. At max level it's a 10 second CD and with 20% CDR it's 8 seconds. Yasuo's Windwall is on an 18 second CD at max level and Yas doesn't build any CDR items at all.

The reason is cause Braun is a tanky support, not to mention his shield is mobile

Braum's shield doesn't just block damage from projectiles. As long as the damage source is directional and facing Braum's shield (Or proccing on his shield and not his main body E.G: Cass Q or Karth Q underneath his shield) it's blocked or reduced. This includes damage from things like Xerath's laser, Lux's ult, Yi's Q, etc.
