Never seen 4 people deliberately stand there and feed Brand before...
That wasn't 100% the brand being op, that was like 75% of the enemy team being super retarded and getting outplayed. And that Trynd ran around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
Still though, you played that really fucking well.

Well a while ago Athene also 1v5d in SR with Ryze.
Not going to comment on the video.. Still doesn't change the fact that he is OP as hell on ARAM. His ult need to be skill shot.. not a point and click your teams at half (since you can't reliably tell when its up or predict its use)...we win.
ARAM is a game where one team fight win means a super push. Granted the mode is not fair, but currently this is the most hard to counter/predict abilities on the map. You may argue Galio the same.. but at least Galio has a predictable pathing when he uses it.
Telegraphed abilites maybe.. But he can easily reach either side of the map.... ruins the 'telegraphed' notion a bit.
Its his raw damage on such a small map thats the issue at hand here.
i cry since they released brand, the rework just made him worse, NERF BRAND PLZ

WTF are you talking about? What rework? He hasn't been buffed for a LONG time. The most he got was the standard, across the board Mana buff that most mages got.
ap items rework** nerf brand plz

Ah gotcha. Well for the record, the two main items that makes Brand strong had their prices increased so...that didn't make him that much stronger.
Sorry you can't deal with an immobile mage that has very telegraphed abilities easily avoided. Can't take you too seriously as in S5 I am not surprised his linear slow skillshot is difficult to avoid.
my bad, i should have predicted it would turn out this way (herp derp s5 scrub)

I rarely bring that up. But, when it comes to such an easy to counter champ like Brand via mobility, cc, burst and simple attention to his movements, it is very hard to say "you're right". He has very obvious weaknesses, and very obvious strengths. He is easily countered. The biggest issue that has happened recently is DTF and the last two metas. Tank/bruiser/juggernaught meta? Brand has his passive and Liandrys. ADC/squishy meta? He can combo the shit out of a squishy and blow them up (only if he hits his linear as fuck skillshot).
If there were to be ANY nerfs to him, then do the stun treatment that Xerath has. The further away they are, the longer the stun. Reward the long range stuns. But again, no other champ NEEDS to land skill "A", THEN land skill "B" to stun/cc the enemy.
You got hit by his E or W? Back off for 4 seconds until his passive wears off. Bam. You can not be stunned. It is not that hard. His E-W combo chunking you too hard? He has to be in the range of 600 to use his E, extremely easy to dive him at that point and chunk him. Assassins destroy Brand. He is also susceptible to poke. If he gets engaged on he is most likely going down, or using his sums and actives. Just learn to play against him and you will see he is much easier to counter.
