Brand deserves a 2 sec stun

Meat Feast··3 votes·612 views

Having to hit a combo for a measly 1.5 seconds stun feels bad on Brand. Using either E>Q (which means you have to get really close), or W>Q (which means you have to hit two slow skill shots, and you give up your primary damage move in the fact that you don't get the amplified damage on W). Xerath, Ahri, Anivia and others have a straight up stun, and at the same amount damage as Brand's Q. Given it's his only source of CC, it just feels lacking.

I respect that his passive is combo focused nowadays, but having his stun combo focused for such a short stun feels lacking (heaven forbid they don't have tenacity).

As a Brand main myself, I have to say that this would make him just a wee bit too safe.

Right now the standard thing to do is ti E>Q>W to get the most damage out. The stun is mostly there to hold them in place for your ult or to peel for yourself.

But two whole seconds means that I can push up all I want with no regard for safety because I can stun the jungler for 2 secs and waltz away.

Sorry, but I would prefer a buff to his resistances, only because Brand gets much closer to his enemies than other mages do for his E to be in range.

Holy crap I thought it was still 2 seconds.... That explains kind of a lot now that I started playing Brand again.

Nah but on the plus side you can ult the enemy and the bounces actually priotize champs to get your 3 hit passive on them.

Turning them into bombs.

Yeah! That much I picked up on. Started spamming him bot lane support and level 6 is pretty much a double kill every game...

Never gets old. I personally play him mid, but I always remember to pay bot a little visit. ;D

Also the max health% passive works on epic monsters and has no cap.

HELLOOOO personal summoner 11 .

I was REALLY surprised one game at how fast Baron melted with just me and 2 other people mid game. I can imagine some caps being placed on him in the near future.

That being said, I have been quite tempted to try him jungle. Overall I think the passive change is amazing though.

His playrate isn't all that high, he's kinda under the radar atm.

All I can tell you for jungle Brand is that your first clear will be awful.
