Brand has literally no counterplay.
You're an assassin? W E Q + passive + passive 2 = over half your health lv 3 WHY THE FUCK DOES HE HAVE 2 PASSIVES THAT DEAL DAMAGE? OH HIS MAX HEALTH BURN DOESN'T DO ENOUGH, MAKE A 2ND PASSIVE THAT DEALS HALF THEIR HEALTH!
His Q is laughably easy to land His W can go to fucking hell with how easy it is to land His E is a point and click nuke spread His R is the ONLY THING HE HAS TO PRESS TO WIN A TEAMFIGHT, LIKE WHY DOES IT DO VEIGAR ULT DAMAGE, DO 5 PEOPLE? AND APPLYS HIS PASSIVE AND PASSIVE 2.
On top of that, why the fuck does his passive 1 apply Rylias or ANY spell effects?

neuters his passive damage, and everything else
cuts his damage and only CC by a fair bit for how cheap an item it is
