Brand support is doing just as much, if not more total damage than AP mid laners right now
Shouldn't this be raising red flags somewhere in Riot?

He also has 2 targets in bot lane. I can guarantee you if 
were bot lane more, you would see the same thing. Its not just brand, he just stands out due to his popularity and how much better his kit works in a 2v2 lane. The 3 i listed are overshadowed by brand yes.. but are just as capable of doing the most dmg on the team from the support role.
AoE mages tend to do more damage to champions when they're fighting 2 champions in laning phase instead of 1
...
basically any other mage support
Support Vel'koz does even more; as a matter of fact he averages the most damage per game in the support role of any champion, but that doesn't matter because he's apparently the most balanced champion in the game according to a lot of people.
The funny part is that Brand always had this much burst, but people just kinda shrugged him off, saying he was weak because he required too much setup for his stun. And now THIS is happening.
That's pretty normal for a damage support as for the first third of the game they have more targets to hit and can focus on damaging enemies rather than last hitting.
They literally have one job and that is to hurt the enemies. If they can't do that then you'd pick a tank/utility support instead every time.
Thats because Brand does % hp damage.
ap
support does the most damage in the game when left alone, like ive literally carried games as support cause frost queen generates as much gold as i would when mid laning if i poke alot and cs some. ive done up to 55k-60k damage in a game as ap ez support an carried my team to victory.
It's not Riot's fault that AP itemization is bad enough that champions who don't even need it are the ones doing well.
What do you want them to do? Fix it? Why fix it when games don't last long enough to buy them anyway.
That's sort of the point of Brand support, his only utility is a single stun that takes 2 abilities to proc, pretty much does the same thing. They're great for balancing out team comps as well since you still get those people in solo queue who think 4 AD champs and a Janna is balanced in terms of damage output.
