Well for me, I have those 3. Based on experience, I think Brand is very vulnerable to ganks and Kennen if you dont have flash. Swain and Brand's weakness for me is their sustainablity in the lane if you're playing offensive, which means their mana is just not enough. But, hopefully a Rod of Ages can compensate for that and/or an archangel's staff. Kennen is relatively brittle if you build him pure AP even with Zhonya's HG, Rylai's, and Abyssal Scepter. Often times, at higher levels people are very persistent about Mercury Treads, Banshees Veil, and stuff like that and you'd feel kinda useless after that. And I think you're likely to be FF'ed, that's my experienced at least. On the other hand, Brand is the most vulnerable for jerks like Shaco, Akali, Yi, Udyr, and generally any type of assassin that comes from the back of the army and if you've used all your skills bombing their front liners you're likely going to die in seconds. Swain can easily not be minded in a battle if health/mana items were built first to compensate for his ult and missing your stun will not be good for your team at the late game. So just see which one of the risks dont appeal to you.
