If you play him in the bot lane you aren't running a support - marksman lane, you're running a mage - marksman lane. Brand is not a support, has never been a support, and can never be a support. Supports set up and provide assistance to their allies through heals, buffs and other utility. The only utility brand offers is a conditional single target stun, and his low utility, high damage kit is part of his identity. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with you running him in the bottom lane with an aggressive early game marksman for early kills, but you shouldn't confuse going bot lane with a marksman with actually being a support.
