So far, he seems surprisingly balanced given Riot's tradition of releasing champions in overtuned states and then dropping them down in a few patches afterwards...

People do need to figure out he can't just mindlessly go ham like Leona and actually has to pick his fights carefully, seeing as he's quite low on the damage front and his abilities are better at defending his own ADC rather than charging the enemy... So far, all the Braums I've seen that have failed miserably have just been too engage-happy and not really bothered all that much with defending their carry. Maybe there's some trick to Braum engages that none of the ones I've seen have picked up on, but that's the impression I get so far. Both from laning with and against them. Haven't played him myself yet though.
