User blog comment:Simbey/Real Talk: Braum/@comment-24731985-20140505002936

The point this post makes (or is trying to make) is agreeable enough, but the issue I have is that Braum is NOT the first insance of this argument coming up and will not be the last. (recall the hell that started over Anivia /Zac /Aatrox passives) Braum's individual abilites may certainly resemble those of other champions, but at least they aren't "original" and also uninteractive/not fun (i.e. Sona IMO)   After seeing streams of Braum gameplay, I'm very excited for him. He is such a "team player" champion, literally standing between allies and threats.

As a sidenote, I like the design of his passive a lot. The "delay" of its CC makes the CC of other Champions' abilities innatley easier to synergize with. I also agree with Makbloo about Braum potentially ushering in a wider variety of Jungle picks. (Here's hoping Darius Jungle becomes a thing like in my fantasies.)
