I have to agree with Oda and Zilverdeal....this constant whining is starting to get tiring and annoying....

Braum isn't stupidly OP.....is he strong? Yes; Can he wreck certain team comps? Again, yes; HOWEVER, does he have possible and potent weaknesses? YES; Are there common ways to counterplay him? Oh HELL yes....

You say he's OP against marksmen because of his E and stun? Marksmen just need to stay behind minions to avoid Q, and if he's close by to hit you, how did that happen? Were you standing too close to a minion or something? As for the moving E, it's a perfect clutch move....it's kind of like Anivia's wall....At 18 sed cd, he has to bring it at the right time. Plus, it only blocks the damage of 1 SHOT....the rest deal reduced damage, but at least it's damage....I remember one game, the Braum is about 400 HP, tries to engage, fails....With less than 200 HP left, he runs away, jumps back to a minion with W, flash away to save himself....My team's Cait targets her ult on him...Braum brings up his "OP" shield, and I simply hit him with an AA AS SONA....he blocks that, gets 30% damage reduction on Cait ult, and still dies from that damage....

The point is that Braum IS strong, no doubt about that...he's especially strong in the meta where people especially pick Leona, Thresh and Blitz, i.e. Kill lane supports made on bringing the fight to you.....PERHAPS he might be slightly OP, giving a bit too much bang for his buck....but the way you make him out to be, as a wall that makes the enemy team useless, is gross misrepresentation and exaggeration....and given how you say you just spectate, but don't really play the game anymore, all the less reason to believe you...
