Braum Buff Idea

No one can argue that Braum is a really strong support. I do believe however that there are changes to his kit that could help his game play without making him too overpowered. Braum's passive, "concussive blows" works as follows, "Braum’s basic attacks apply Concussive Blows. Once the first stack is applied, all basic attacks from Braum and his allies apply further stacks. Targets that sustain four stacks are stunned and suffer bonus magic damage. After being stunned, Braum cannot apply Concussive Blows to his target again for a moderate duration." This is by far the best part about Braum's kit, enabling him to kite effectively once the fourth stack is applied. The only issue i find with Braum's passive is that it is not applied when Braum lands his ult on an enemy. Allowing Braum's passive to apply when an enemy is hit with his ult would make landing the ult on multiple enemy champions more appealing but it would also make any Braum player second guess when he should or shouldn't use the ult. The team could then make better use of the Braum ultimate. This I believe would be a great way to Buff Braum without changing his kit too much and without changing the game too much in the favor of his team.

Secondly, Braum's "E" Unbreakable, works as follows, "Braum raises his shield in a target direction, negating the damage from the first attack from the shield’s direction and reducing the damage of all subsequent attacks as long as the shield is raised. Braum intercepts projectiles with Unbreakable, causing them to hit him and then be destroyed. He also gains a minor speed boost until he lowers his shield." Another great ability of Braum's but the only reward for a good shield block is that your Carries are not killed. I think there should be more reward for using unbreakable. For example, when blocking projectiles with Unbreakable, Braum could get a slight cool down reduction on his "W" Stand Behind Me, in which Braum leaps to the aid of a nearby ally, positioning himself between his target and their nearest enemy champion, and granting both Braum and his target bonus armor and magic resist based on his total armor and magic resist. This would provide not only a reward for blocking projectiles but also allow Braum to better position himself. The reason this change would not change the game completely is because Braum still takes the CC from abilities, Projectile or not, while his shield is active. So although he would get a slight cool down to his "W" it could be delayed with the proper CC. It could also be considered to raise the base cool down on Braum's "W" were this change to occur.

I thought about these two possible Braum changes at length and I believe that they could be applied without changing Braum's game play enough to win the game, but if properly used or countered, these changes could help/hinder Braum in the right areas. If anyone has any other suggestions or would like to comment how they feel about what I have suggested, please feel free to let me know.
