The problem is that Braum is one of the few characters who can profit from any stat (maybe not Crit, but even that is debateable). Physical stats enhance his AAs, which is his main offensive tool at close range (because of stun after 4 hits and bonus magic damage after that. AS is viable on him because of that). Magical stats puts more damage into his ult and makes him use his other abilities more often, which makes him great at mid-range. Defensive stats... Well, he's a damage sponge and his basic abilities scales with them, so kill potential's bound to happen.

Pretty much every style of build but hybrid fits and that's what makes him hard to balance without overnerfing him.

Another thing, of course, is that MF isn't good in getting out of a fight once she has been damaged.
