Brand Changes
Riot recently made a statement that they would like to change Brand, at least buff his solo laning. I don't play a lot of the champion, but I love discussing game changes with my friends and one happens to be a Brand player in Gold 5 that had some thought we mulled over last night.
Like many others, we were both very sad to see Brand's E unchanged primarily in his class update, and would like to focus on that as a avenue to both make the champ more interesting, as well as better overall as a wave clear spell. These are the 2 options we came up with:
Change: E or Conflagration =
-
E now spreads to to all near by targets regardless if they are ablaze or not, dealing half the damage. If the Target is Ablaze, Conflagration now deals full damage to all nearby enemies, and will further spread to enemies near them for half damage unless they are Ablaze.
-
E now deals an additional 2 - 6% max health damage if Ablaze instead of spreading. If the target dies to the E damage, it now spreads, as well as refunds half the cooldown and mana.
The reasoning behind the first change option would be to help brand with wave clear and further emphases his AOE speciality. The second one would be to enforce further strength in percent health damage and to reward him for using his E as a wave clear tool.
What do you guys think about brand, and maybe these possible change options specifically?
