Well, to be truthful, we still have dominating comps and constraining metas and havoc making release champs...just a bit more spread out due to the item changes and all that...

As for the "Braum is OP" part of the discussion....he isn't really OP, but quite powerful as an anti engagement...and because of of the 3 main supports played (Leona and Thresh) are all about engagement, braum is simply good at countering their playstyle...play someone with a poke playstyle and he flounders, simply because he can't have W or E all the time, while they can poke easily during that time....

If you feel you're having trouble against him, get Morgana as a counter, or others like Sona, Annie, or best one yet, Alistar....hit and run champs like this are boss against him....

If you still wish to play Leo or Thresh though, you'll have to play carefully most of the time simply because he counters your engagement comp....
