Braum's ability to intercept projectiles with his E is a beast...maybe Mundo is a better "damage sponge", but Mundo can't really do anything to protect the ADC other than just standing there like a bodyguard and attack the approaching enemies, for example.

And don't forget that Braum has a gapcloser what is on a low cooldown, and if he can get to the right place in a teamfight ( in front of the ADC, APC or both, it doesn't matter, just soak up all the damage) he can block almost everything with his E, and the enemy team pretty much wasted all their ults on him...

That is why he is permabanned: he is the perfect tank, not because he has a good ultimate, or a nice CC via passive, but because he can redirect most of the damage done to himself. The other tanks in LoL can't do that: if the enemy team won't attack you, they attack some1 else, end of story. But Braum forces the enemies to attack him by blocking everything.
