the MR/ARMOR buff on Braum's W

IT feels really invisible as an adc. What if we braum gave a sheild instead of a resistance buff to the ally he dashed too?

Let's just rename it Safeguard too

It's meant to be for mobility and positioning, the resistances are really just there to give you some flat stats for a support with lower income. Giving it a shield on top would be sort of redundant really, since in the situation where you're meant to play Braum 90% of the time you'll then be blocking with your E and putting that shield to waste.

There is still alot of stuff you can't block with the shield like AoE damage spells. And "meant for mobility and positioning"... the same could be said about Rakans E, yet his dash has a shield (and can be used 2 times in a row).

Defensive scaling is greatly underutilized. Even champs like Braum, who get it, only get a taste of it. I think Riot's caution is well deserved, but at the same time they could easily buff it a bit without breaking him.

During the laning phase it's not going to feel like much. Especially if you're going Relic + Sightstone + boots as first items. That's not a lot of stats to scale with. The real damage reduction should come from his E.

Ah hem, this is buff to redemption on Braum.

first braum is extremely weak right now at least in high elo needless to bomb me with braum stats in plat+

second redemption is going to be look at anyway in 7.11 as support items will see changes for the 10000th time

third, it's invisible power no need of more arguments, sona had this and was taken away same for taric

Didn't say a buff was a bad thing. It's a good idea.

Why should we care about high elo? Barely anyone plays up there.

because riot balances the game around all elo as far as i know
