No, i'm saying W is a bad skill. Not super crappy, but below average.

E however, is an above average skill. No braum isn't invulerable, especially level's 1 and 2 when he doesn't have his full combo. But afterwards he can block, slow/stun, and dash away to the ADC with W making him the best defensive support from 3 on.

And W+E's synergy makes it one of the best combo's in the game. Alot of his power budget is in that synergy, so half of Q's power is split into his passive.

And yes, defensive supports are not in the meta at the moment. But meta's change. And braum is a perfect counter to current all-in leona kill lanes, and better at supporting ganks then morgana. With positioning, slow, and stun, and superior ult.

He also works better with the current jungler, who are all damage. Yi, Jax, Panth and Elise all make great dive partners for Braum.

Of course, once people start countering the all-in with braum, it will rotate to the poke meta, and braum will loose with too much downtime between E's, and then the poke meta will rotate to the all-in meta, and the it will rotate back to braum...
