Sigh, the point isn't that he needs damage cuz he's weak, the point is that he needs some damage cuz otherwise it just literally wouldn't work in the game.

Simply put, if you'd remove make everything he did do 0 damage you'd not really notice it in most situations anyway as he already does extremely little damagewise. Characters with lifesteal can keep pushing lanes while Braum punches them and ignore his damage nearly completly. This should never be the case with any matchup, period. It doesn't need to be the case that Braum will horribly murder you if you allow him to punch you, but if you'd allow him to hit you it should at least be noticable, which currently it just isn't. As for fighting Jax at 10%, well make it 2%, take any health value where Braum can't literally oneshot the guy and Jax would most likely win, it wouldn't even require Jax to play cleverly and dodge skillshots, just walk up to Braum and start punching away, your lifesteal & defense will negate all his puny attacks anyway... And this goes for basicly every other champion that has lifesteal,spellvamp or significant defenses, which is just a tad lame.

He is quite well balanced, it's just a general issue supports, and proper tanks for that matter, have due to Riots odd philosophy on damage, champions seem to either do massive amounts of damage or effectivly do nothing at all, there's very little in between the two extremes.
