I don't think Brand's combo mechanic is necessarily a bad thing. Most mages have some kind of combo, with the clearest example aside from Brand being. I agree Brand can't really position himself into the best spot, but I did give him a kit that would work extremely well at punishing clumps of enemies. I also don't think the issue of losing certain effects is particularly serious, since his E combo is designed for waveclearing, both on live and on my kit. The great thing about Brand's combo mechanic is that it gives him versatility and choice, so he doesn't necessarily have to go through the same rotation (you might want to combo E off of an opponent to damage multiple enemies in teamfights, for example).
