When i said "low-risk", is that this comp doesn't leave many glaring weaknesses. For example, a team comp situated around a reset champion such as katarina would be considered as a high-risk, high-reward. Likewise, a team comp situated around poke and siege provides relatively low-risk, moderate-reward. I consider this comp to be quite low risk, as there is there are no "risky" lanes (ex. nasus top). Also, this comp has a stellar mid-game, and does not fall off harshly in late game fights. I understand your reasoning, such that once you go in, you gotta go ALL IN. This in itself is a "risk," but I still consider the team to be low-risk. This is because there isn't much that can go wrong during a straight up 5 v 5 teamfight. Ofc, this is not some ultimate comp where nothing can go wrong; there can be poor synergy. In contrast, there are other types of teamcomps in which small errors result in major consequences, such as the protect-the-vayne comp (vayne dies GG).

TL;DR: the braum comp is hard to punish for errors, but can still reap great reward
