Idea for Brand.
Passive - Brand gains 2% max mana every time he kills a unit.
Increase spell costs on all spells by 10-20%
Now either he can't support, or if he does, he needs to really manage his mana well.
Or Idea #2 (The more crazy idea.)
Passive - Brand gains 1 AP every time he kills a unit, maximum of ? AP
Nerf his base damage, and scaling to compensate, making him rely on good CS to have a strong mid/late game.
