He can kill a hero in 1 combo rotation. This is with even levels and him playing a support (which means his gold is low).

HIs win rate is stupid high.

He also puts you in a situation where you can't team fight in jungle (AOE high burst damage dealer).

Riot please nerf him, this is just out of hand what he is capable of.

One final note, every tier list ive seen puts him at an S rank. He is clearly Over powered.

Because he is a burst casting AP mage, not a support.

True I suppose.

He also puts you in a situation where you can't team fight in jungle (AOE high burst damage dealer).

So does Annie, Vlad, Syndra, Illaoi, and every other burst casting AoE based champion.

You didn't even give any real reasons.

Brand offers tons of counterplays: n1 his Q and E, the most dangerous spell for the stun and major damage, are easy to dodge, you just need to side step or predict when he's gonna use them, W has short range. N2 by doing that he'll push you under turret, and Brand not only is super squishy, he has zero escapes. He can't dash away, can't knock u back, literally all you need is a jungler that ganks 3-4 times for him to go behind and not be a threat at least for the remaining of the laning phase. Same goes with Zyra.

It doesn't matter if he is a support because all of the items he wants are cheap, he does %max hp and massive amounts of base damage meaning he only wants item 3020 item 3916 item 3151 item 3135 to make the most of it, similar to zyra although zyra doesn't do % max hp damage.

My only problem with a brand is that he doesn't have to be picky about his targets thanks to his high burst damage and % max hp damage combined making him able to burst squishy champs and tanks alike.

Even vel koz feels better to play against as a tank since its only flat true damage that doesn't scale with your hp, unlike a brand doing %max hp damage that ignores your magic resist due to item 3135
