TFT fights should wait for spells to finish

Hi, I think there is an annoying inconsistency int TFT when it comes to the ends of fights. Some champions (mainly summoners )get extended fights so their spells can do their work but others do not. I do not feel it is fair that Zyra's plants extend the fight and give the player a chance to win/draw/ reduce the damage done and spells like Brand's ultimate do not get the same treatment. I have had many cases where I lost the fight just because the fight ended too early and the spell did no damage and I had many cases where I won/lost the fight because of Zyra's plants or Malzahar's voidlings.

I see and understand that if fights ended as soon as all champions died the summoners would be just too weak to be in the game and I think its right to extend the fights for them but I also think that should be done for all the champions.

The fight should end when there is no spell in the air and there is not any damage over time effects on any champion and no units in be the battlefield.

level 3 brand double casts ult.. bounces one time and the round ends, leaving all the others guys remaining stuff totally in kill range for the spell but is pointless because no damage is dealt after the fact..

i do feel like redbuff and morello's should also persist until they time out just incase they get 1 extra unit killed reducing the damage you take

That would at best increase draws, summoners other than azir have a unique trait where if their summon (one or more) survive the fight they still do damage.

Brand ult does not do that, so if everyone dies and brand ult kills all the enemies, you draw, other wise you lose (which BTW its hard to guarantee a kill on the last unit since you need 2 units to bounce and keep doing damage). Honestly I don't care either way about that. If I am able to take care of the summons I probably won, if not they did. It only seems to come up for me in the earliest stages of the game (pre wolves draft). After that point the fights tend to get quite a bit shorter in general.

Level 3 Brand is already OP. Hell, level 2 Brand is OP, that's why he got hotfixed; because while everyone on here is ranting about olaf/glacials, ocean/mages was by far the best comp (and probably still is).
