Lately Brand is crap, so weak, does nothing when his skills are on cool down, Riot should lower the cool down of his pillar of flame, and his conflagration. And his range is so short for his conflagration, making him walk up in front of the enemies, and then doing his damage, he should be more like a Xerath were he can just sit back and do his damage. Other wise, Brand is just get's deleted and destroyed. Buff his kit please, his conflagration's range is pretty short too, at a 625 ranged spell, means making Brand walk up to his target, to start his combo, making it pretty risky for a squishy target like Brand. Maybe around 750 would be a good range for his conflagration, doing this, will open more possibilities for Brand to make plays. Mana cost is pretty stupid too, making his conflagration's mana at maxed rank go to 90. That's actually a really high mana cost for a mage that should be spamming his skills a lot. Should be capped to about 80 mana or so. And his cool downs are so high, 12/11/10/9/8. So if you don't build cdr on Brand, he's just a sitting duck, but this means Brand is forced to build cdr, which is very annoying, when you could do something better and go for the raw ap damage, but the these high cool downs are limiting Brand's options and forcing to stick to the same old no damage ap mage build path. Now on to Brand's Pillar of flame. Cool down at all ranks 10 seconds, still forcing him to buy cdr, or else he's just a sitting duck, if you miss the pillar of flame, you're dead, since you have to wait so long for the cool down. Please lower his cool down on his Pillar of flame, at a 900 ranged spell, you should be able to spam that like every 5 seconds, for example Xerath's Arcanopulse has a cool down like this 9/8/7/6/5. Long range, short cool downs, but Brand, he has some problems, 10 second cool down on his Pillar of flame. Or you could just buy cdr, but remember that's only going to limit Brands possibilities. So Riot, please change Brand's kit, or at least give him some buffs, Brand's my favorite champion, I just feel like he's trash. My point is that Brand needs more possibilities in his kit, he needs more out play potential. He needs some love. (;

Sometimes it's hard to take a "Buff XXX" thread seriously when all I see here is spammed words everywhere with no paragraphing, spaces & shiet.

No really, he is crap.

I don't know what's worse... people who say Ekko is balanced, or people that say Bard doesn't need buffs. I understand neither. Mithy from the EU team Origen literally said it was the worst character he had ever played.

if they try to change Brand into like Xerath, Brand might as well not even exist......cdr??? right now almost every ap champ is building cdr, "MORELL" is very highly build for cdr and mana regen, brand should had no problem and having riot shorten his abilities is like asking riot to make Brand stun infinite......and brand does lots of damage too(good Brand players)

He needs a small buff, but nothing major. He's a really solid mid laner and if you get fed with him you just press R and nuke the enemy team.

does nothing when his skills are on cool down

isnt that the way a burst type mage works?

If anything, his E needs to change. He already has a wave clear with W, so make E something a little more unique. For example.

If target is ablaze, it extends the blaze for an extra 3 seconds on all nearby enemies. This would now pair better with item 3151 .

If there are no nearby targets, enemy champions are blinded for 2 seconds.

I pwnt with Brand the way he is now. I'd be happy if he got buffs, but I'm not sure if they're needed.
