Your right about the bonus stats, I misread it, only Braum and the ally that he targets get the bonus stats. That does make him seem a bit less powerful, but he still seems like an annoying Leona/Yasuo hybrid. I also didn't look at his cooldowns, which are somewhat high, but supports will usually get 10-15% CDR from core items/runes/materies, plus he's likely going to build tankier CDR items due to the nature of his kit. And, I'm not fond of the damage based on his health because 1) I hate when tanks can build straight tank and still deal enough damage to be a threat and 2) though he's rarely seen nowadays, Volibear is a monster and also has % health damage scaling. Looking at Volibear's numbers though, his damage scales off of % bonus health (which is a much higher number than Braum's 2.5% max health scaling) and has % missing health damage on top of that. So, that's probably what's skewing my view.

Again, Braum could be changed before release (PBE testing might validate some of my concerns) or he could be balanced in this state, but I have nothing to go on except the knowledge that he has a lot of tankiness and cc. Thanks for the insightful replies, now I'll just have to wait until his release to see what he's really like.

Oh, and yes, I despire Taric and all of his fabulousness.
