Brand is strong, but I would not say faceroll. Riot simply made a terrible mistake by nerfing the cost of many AP items. Increase ambient gold doesn't help much, and ADC/juggernaut reach their power spike much faster, leaving mages in a rather hard position: abuse the non-nerf items, the new keystones or got left behind. We all see how Brand, Anivia become top pick while Azir, Viktor, Orianna fall out of favor.
