Lets talk about Branding
Although there are a of very cool, albeit questionable changes happening right now, I feel like there is another champ who is flying under the radar.
It seems to me that Brand is lacking in some ways.
To be blunt, his kit feels very predictable, and uninspired.
Fear not though! I have a couple ideas that would make for some interesting and enjoyable games, as well as some potential outplays.
Brand is the embodiment of fire, so why not have his moves function like fire? They do already do this a little with the burn on hit, but wouldn’t it be sweet if brands spells actually temporarily put the ground on fire as well. It could simply just resonate for a few seconds as a zone that would refresh the burn, and perhaps the zone would grow depending on how many spells were hit within the zone. This would look a little odd in the river, but would seem fitting in lane.
Continuing along the whole line of being the embodiment of fire. I was thinking perhaps Brand could actually become his ult when he casts it. Not changing the function of the ult too much, just making brand untargetable for the duration of it, after which his body would reform (possibly from the area of burning in the paragraph above?).
Anyways, I realize there is a lot on your plate Riot, so thank you for continuously working hard to bring us an enjoyable experience. Keep up the good work!
