Mid-year Mage Update: Brand. My thoughts

Here's with the hope that another one of the champions I love don't get changed in such a way that I hate playing them (Kog'Maw, Graves, Shen).

I don't know how popular of an opinion this is, but for me, the most important part of Brand is his passive. I love how deceivingly flexible it makes him. Not the burn, of course, but the way it affects his abilities. For example, everyone knows the B&B Brand combo is E>Q>W for the stun into enhanced W damage, but there are so many other ways to use his abilities, especially in teamfights. You could go Q>E>W for more AoE damage, proccing the enhanced W damage on multiple targets. You could go W>Q for a longer ranged stun, but sacrificing a little damage. You could go ult>Q>E>W (This is one of my favorites. People generally only consider the stun when they already have the passive on them. Because ult>Q hit at almost the same time, it's basically an instant stun) which lets you get crazy AoE really quickly in teamfights.

Basically, my point is, I'd absolutely love it if Brand kept this aspect of his passive. I think it makes him a ton of fun to play.

Thanks for your time, The Grand Design
