Brand suggestions

Brand has never been a good pick. I play him for fun but I wish I could feel like he's worth it for ranked. I shouldn't need to convince anyone that he's bad considering that he's never been a competitive pick in all the years he's been in the game.

Here are some ideas.

• Simply reduce the cooldown on his ult. Even when he lands his full combo he does less damage than other burst champions UNLESS he gets off a good ult. So his ult shouldn't have a long CD because just casting it whenever doesn't result in good damage at all. Lower CD would give him more opportunities to use his ult at the right moment, so it would actually increase his potential when played skillfully but just casting it on CD would remain relatively ineffective.

• Change his ult Blaze mechanic slightly. It should prioritize champions who are Ablaze. This would be far more practical than the current mechanic which is it has to bounce off a target that is Ablaze. Usually when Brand lands his combo on a champion, his ult will prioritize another champion due to his first target being Ablaze. The second champion is usually not Ablaze so after that it just bounces randomly and it might be effective or it might not be. So instead it should prioritize Ablaze champions. This way if you land your combo on a champion your ult will mess them up. That's how it should be. When you land your combo on other mages you generally mess up the guy you landed it on. Edit: Actually this would be a problem since his ult itself applies Blaze so a more complicated change would be needed. But again I think the current mechanic isn't reliable enough.

• Allow Furor boots to work on his passive. This would be a unique item synergy because he'd get a ton of movement speed off it and it would enhance his whole stand-off poke game in sieges.
