I feel like brand has been secret op for a while...

Not just supp brand that if he has a terrible adc he stuns you so you dont keep killing them , if hes good enough to prevent you. But his spells have such low mana cost and cd he can just spam honestly. wether he is mid or supp , in the back of your mind its 'they got a fukn brand' doesnt matter if hes 1-5 or 5-1 he will hit that mid game power spike if they enemy team can stall. And hes a mage yi, melts your team in 3 secs because you couldnt focuse him. and if youre an assasin or fighter , hes going to cuck you even harder because of this item . Then you got 4 monkeys on you trying to kill you because you tried to kill their carry. Ranged champs , cant get to him because his spells allow him to be at a distance like a mage should be> But he has A LOT OF harass in lane due to his spells basically costing little mana. So brand doesnt necessarily have the best early game , but its not weak either. Hes just strong , but he just isnt popular.
