Brand's ult needs to bounce off hourglass

No, hourglass has several purposes that is just one of them. The usefulness of hourglass even after that minor change would outweigh it ten fold. It would still be bought but against certain champions as previously mentioned (brand, veigar, ryze or anybody with target projectiles) you would need to actually be mindful where you hourglass (only if you have a targeted projectile incomming). In a 1 v 1 situation it would have no changes (as even if you hour glassed minions could get hit however the spell would be over by the time you are out of hourglass). But for the sake of team fights it could possibly be an interesting design and further add slight counter play to hourglass (or if you prefer a draw back). That would be like you saying "flash back in the day when it popped projectiles was only used to pop projectiles. Not true and it didn't ruin the "point" of flash.

Even since zhonya's ring it has and will always be one of the best items in the game simply because it has the most power active. There are very few counters aside from stunning, preventing somebody to use it. But for champions who use target projectiles it completely ruins their potential and hourglass already is a "must have" on nearly every ap mid. I think this would be an interesting change personally. Hourglass has too many pluses with little negatives when it comes to team fighting. In a 1 v 1 situation it should retain it's usefulness but in a teamfight popping projectiles is too strong. I think it'd also add to the humor aspect of league.

As it stand line of sight projectiles will go through you when you hourglass. (that I am okay with because these projectiles can and most likely will hit your teammates) I've accidently gotten several of my teammated killed this way saving my own butt sometimes it was worth it though. But even more so allowing targeted projectiles also have a chance to bounce off of you or continue in the direction they were going (changing them to Line of sight) would be awesome. Banshees veil already serves as a means to block ultimate powerful spells even targeted ones. Hourglass should not also provide defense vs targeted projectiles without bouncing them or converting the targeted spell into a line of sight abilitity. This type of change actually helps veigar, brand out in team fights given the circumstances happen or other champions who utilize spells as such.

The user would not be hit by the projectile but a fellow teammate could. So conflicted between having them bounce (maybe only brands R and ryzes skill would function like that) but for say an ultimate like veigars would be converted into a line of sight ability. I think it'd be interesting.

...what...you would still be immune, it just wouldn't consume the ult and render it completely worthless considering it's suppose to be an AoE ult. And they already did this for Fiora but Riot can only focus on one old champ per patch so here we are.
