Talk:Braum/@comment-5077844-20140730195500

To be honest I really like this guy. I know he's op and all but he also feels responsive. Compared to Leona who is like "REWQ I'M don you guys clean this up" Braum has to position himself properly has to time his engages and wander around teh battlefield to peel. that'S the problem tho, most supports are one hit wonders, they throw out their combos and remain rather passive until these are off cd, in the meantime they use active items. Braum is active all the time since he has to apply his passive to every member of the enmy team, and when he'S done it's gonna be off cd at the first one anyways.

Braum was a good idea, but is too overloaded at the moment. His kit features literally everything except sustain (which he technically gains from Relic Shield). He has no direct counter and you can do what you want he will still scale hard into lategame.

Riot's best apporach would probably be to Olaf him and rework him at a later  point..like rengar. Becuase let's be honest, you can nerf him how much you want, he's not going to be balanced with that kit. He's jsut too much of a huge wall.

To make suggestions on how to fix him for now:

remove the bonus damage on aas after passive has been applied. He's already dueling adcs all over the plays early game, no need for that, he's not Leona.

reduce stun duration to 0.75/1/1.25. His passive is on a long enough cooldown, the stun is easy to apply since when you're hit wqith his q you're not going to turn around and fight. It#s a disruption tool to buy oyur adc time. right now it's overkill.

I was also thinking of changing E from Unbreakable to Breakable (meaning that it'S duration will be reduced per champion projectile absorbed, which then would mean that the general duration would ahve to be increased).

Braum is great and funny champion and really adds to the support role, but he's just too good in both ways. Make him more disengaging and fight turnarounding instead of opressively aggressive.
