Sorry for interrputing your disukussion guys but Riot shouldn't and won't go the one nor the other way. And to your information- Brand is neither a DoT mage nor a burst mage but a fusion of both. His burst mostly isn't high enough to 100 - 0 his targets If he is on the same gold and level as the enemy (what real burst mages like Annie or Anivia can do) and his DoT isn't aswell. The one cannot exist without the other in Brands kit and that makes him to such a great teamfighter: he deals massive AoE damage and offers a sustained source of damage after his full rotation and Riot announced that they want to keep that identety. They just want to push that more foreward. I don't think they will buff one of those sites but maybe add something that supports him in this. Maybe they tune some numbers, let his Passive scale with level so it's not this opressive in early game. But a point they will work on for sure is his Ult. It was meant to be the tha same as the rest of his kit: a little bit AoE burst that spreads his Passive while being more effictive If used smart in combination with his Passive but sadly it doesn't really work out mostly (or works too well and that's anti fun for the opponent).

What ever they do, I think it will be still Brand at the end. More or less.
