Braum Ward Hopping?
I don't see why he would not be able to as many champions that can make big plays such as 
and 
already can. It would take some balancing, but I feel it would be a great asset to his current kit.

Thematically doesn't quite make sense. The spell is supposed to be a vanguard of sorts, such that Braum jumps in front of his ally to keep him safe, bolstering their resistances and body blocking spells. It wouldn't make sense to have Braum risk his life to protect a Ward. Jax is just a leap and Lee's safeguard is supposed to be mobility with a bit of a shield attached to it. Braum's spell comes to an ally's aid, if you see what I mean.
I think it was a conscious choice by Riot. They didn't want Braum to be mobile except in terms of staying close to an allied champion.
Braum is a huge character, and technically that shield weighs a ton too. It's hard to justify him jumping at all let alone jumping like he does in front of other players. Jax and Lee are (kinda) light weight in comparison to the big bulky muscley man with a giant rock door that is braum (seriously how heavy is that thing it cracks the ground when he sets it down) you can't justify extreme mobility on a champ like braum.
So imagine this, Braums ult is already fight-deciding the right ult could change EVERYTHING and completely destroy the enemy teams plan going into an engagement. Now imagine Braum ward hops over baron pit, flashes sideways and ults your entire team and Lee follows him in smite stealing the baron whal you can do nothing about it.
Simply put, Braum is already a super strong champion. A wardhop would make him broken as fuck. would it be super cool to have that ability? Absolutely. But does it work balance wise? Not really. He's already got a super strong E and R, can't give him a super strong W as well.
Upvoted. Logically Braum should be able to ward hop just like Lee Sin 'safe guards'. Take your broken talk to 
and be gone
if is allowed to be overloaded why can't 
have something so simple as a ward hope?
It would be a balance issue because then he could get an engage with free armor into super good ults, and it would probably make him too safe when deep warding.
Please, no more ward hopping.
