A Brand "support" could probably pump out the same number of damage as most ADCs on half the items and not needing 200+ cs lol. Whats the point picking a no mobility, no cc, needs lots of gold ADC when any AP support with 1 item does more lol.
An ADC's job has never been to kill enemy champions. Thats largely just a side effect of them building damage. The ADCs job is to deal heavy DPS to objectives to take advantage of short death timers to close games out fast enough that the enemy doesnt get another shot at a comeback.
If the ADC and a tank are alive, and healthy, on an ace, they can usually get an objective. If the support, tank, and jungler are alive.... its usually very difficult to get a major objective before you have to reset. If dragon is up or a tower is partly down, you can grab those, but baron, elder, or a full health tower in a not fully shoved lane are generally out of the picture.
Because you can't dodge a auto attack. Your damage is always going to go through 100% of the time unless Braum or Yasuo are on the enemy team.
Where as you have to be extra bad to be hit by Brand's abilities. Like I am talking you clearly don't know Brand's CD's. You don't know his abilities ranges. You also need to be pretty close.
There is a reason why Brand isn't picked in pro scene, and very rarely picked in high elo. He is a champion that is easy to deal with, with skill. You literally do not need anything else.
That is why he has high damage, because any skillful player will know how to dodge and time his abilities.
Have you ever gotten to late game with one of these comps? You need scaling AD damage on your team otherwise you will just lose late game teamfights. Bruisers and Assassins the other two classes that do AD damage don't scale. If you really thought that the ADC on your team was a liability then pick Ezreal. He has mobility, some AP damage and moderate scaling AD damage. One of the main reasons ADC's are played bot is because no other class can really be played there. Mages usually need levels AND gold to be effective, because their damage gets high and cooldown get lower with levels, an ADC just needs gold because their damage is 95% item reliant. So when you are behind on these APC comps its unplayable. Also like others have said your objective taking speed gets a lot slower without an ADC.
Yeah they are all soooooooo valuable they all have less that 50% winrate at all levels of ladder, while poor poor tank/enhancer supports that defend or enable the ADC are the support meta.
This post sounds like one big ''Brand killed me in lane and tilted me. And thats terrible.''
