Mage Update - Brand!! His identity, his style, and what should remain.

Here's a champion who seems to know what he is already. He's here to purify the world in glorious flames. He's wildfire.

What does that mean? Who exactly is this champion? Well, he's a champion that for some silly reason (HE'S MY FAVORITE CHAMPION IN THE GAME) I've thought a lot about. At first he seemed pretty simple: just a fire-dude who wants to burn you. However, when you listen to his dialogue, things become a little more intense. While he looks like he's just bent on destruction, I don't think that's what his true purpose is. His quote: "Like wildfire..." and "I purify this one." are pretty clear statements. Let me tell you how I see it.

After wildfire claims a forest or field, life returns stronger than before, making way for diverse plant life and resetting the balance. I think that's what Brand is, he's a reset button for the world. A world that's been through many destructive wars and filled with creatures and men who take it upon themselves to poison the land and destroy what already is. Brand is the wildfire, cleansing the current corrupt society and making way for new life to flourish. Obviously not everyone he kills is evil, just like not every plant burned is harmful. DAT BE NATURE, YO.

Brand is a walking volcano set to continuously erupt. This is his purpose. Without the Institute of War, there's nothing holding him back from setting the world on fire.

I hope Brand's update reflects all this. I feel he's a very important part of not just League, but also Runeterra. He has no alliances with anyone, he IS nature. He IS the planet trying to reclaim what magic and technology have corrupted. His solution to everything is "burn it down, then burn it down again.".

Now, he's also a combo mage who excels at AoE damage, but I'm sure you guys understand that. I trust those at Riot to do Brand justice.

I do have one question, though... Will Brand be receiving new lore? Maybe? Possibly? Just a paragraph? Notice me...
