Brand has much, much more range than Annie, which is probably the main difference between them. He also has sperior wave clear.

So, derived from Brand's range advantage - Brand also has superior poke, and because of his passive his poke is amazing. He also got the best single target stun in the game uptime-wise (33% uptime without CDR, 55% with max CDR), and it's a 2 sec stun at all levels (Annie's stun is 1.25 early on). His AoE damage is arguably better. Brand would easily poke Annie out of lane.

Yeah I think Brand got his advantages.
