Braum's optimal dps: Ignoring AA's & Ulti and scaling as I will with everyon else: Passive every 6 sec = 40dps Q every 6 sec = 43.3dps Total: 83.3dps

Janna's optimal dps: Again ignoring AA's & assuming only 1 target hit by her tornado: Howling gale every 10 sec = 26.5dps Zephyr every 8 sec = 35 dps Total: 51.5dps

If she hits 3 targets each Howling gale she outdamage Braum, if she gets AP she does it quicker.

Leona's optimal dps, ignoring AA's, ulti, her passive & only 1 target hit with everything: Q every 7 sec: 38dps W every 14: 18dps E every 9: 24dps Total: 80dps As soon as her W hits more than 1 target she outdamage Braum. Or if her passive gets procced once every rotation...

Annie's optimal dps, ignoring AA's & ulti & assuming 0 AP and ignoring her shield for simplicity: Q every 4 sec: 55dps W every 8 sec: 31.55dps Total: 84.5dps Tada, the kill lane outdamages him without offensive stats & not using her most iconic and heavy nuke....

Braum's damage is just as awefull as Leona's & Janna's... in fact it's worse as soon as you actually build offensive items on any of them... also his CC is worse than both of them... his protection for his allies is arugably better (though Janna might win in certain situations e.g. Braum can't stop Karthus from horribly murdering his Carry, Janna can with her shield and heals..)

O and for the record, Braum is awefull at initiation and shouldn't ever. What he can do is poke and hope a Q lands so others can use that to initiate. But he himself can't intiate at all in teamfights.. not his job.
