Possible visual update for Brand?

Voidac··1 votes·604 views

His abilities look incredibly dated. Looking at the new blast animations, explosions, new fire animations (heck, even Rumble's flamethrower)... and then you look at Brand . His abilities look pretty terrible on the new map. That and he's been falling behind in solo lanes. Any change Brand might see some love soon?

The update doesn't have to be game-changing. Yeah, his kit is pretty dated. Yeah, he doesn't have tons of utility shoved onto each ability like newer champions, but his fire looks so... terrible, honestly.

As a Brand player, I think that unpopular champions won't see VU indefinitely. Riot will prioritise champions played in LCS, so he won't show himself up.

He's unpopular due to losing his identity to Syndra, having zero mobility, and close to no reliable utility. I understand how Riot likes to play favorites, but they changed Rumble's flamethrower, why not Brand's particles and abilities? His model seems fine (eh...), but those abilities, man... You have to agree that they look pretty bad.

Yeah, a little bit outdated IMO. He's also mana hungry and gated by high CDs. I wrote about him here http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/WAeEIxUa-riot-sweet-playing-against-energymanaless-champions-isnt-fun-at-all If you care about my complete opinion.
