Similarly, balance needs some time to settle, especially with Dreamhack coming up. They did some pretty big things last patch, and the full effects wont be visible for quite a while. This would actually be a perfect time to go back and start to look at champs like GP and Jax who need some love. But hey, this is RIOT. Expect a new 6.3 champ in 2 weeks, with more odd nerfs and buffs. | ||

Same with client updates and the like. Just take their time to go over the inner workings and see what can be improved, what bug fixes can be done and try to get it as smooth as possible.

The idea is that Annie is a lot more durable and has reliable AoE stuns. Brand is propably better right now due to his numbers but he is more combo reliant. | ||

I don't know how people can make the comparison between a caster with all damage and next to no utility, and one of the highest-utility casters in the game. | ||

And having CC is a big deal in this game, especially when, as an AP carry, you're expected to bring a bunch to the table. Comparing Brand to Annie is like comparing Kog-maw to Ashe. None of them have escapes, and Kog-maw/Brand gets huge range and a ton of damage (including a % max HP component). Ashe/Annie trades out that damage for high utility/CC, and some of the best initiating skills in the game. Likewise, I don't see people taking Brand in competitive play any more than they pick Kog-maw now unless his damage numbers are really off the charts. | ||

No the ult without the passive bounces so slow that it makes it easy to break besides being random targeting. His AoE is either delayed or reliant on having hit his skillshots beforehand. It´s not awfull but Annie is definetly more reliable. | ||

(which is more what i was leaning towards anyways than actual gameplay.) | ||

Individually thanks to his passive he has some of the most fascinating skills in the game but because of skillshot (misses a lot) and lack of CC he just feels really meh. It's... it's like Cho'gath, is who Brand is like, only taking out the CC and free HP and replacing the true damage single-target nuke with an AoE thing. | ||
