Braum still remains a slow moving melee champion with no gap closer on his own.

I have the feeling that he is just REALLY REALLY good at punishing people for bad positioning. If you stand somewhere in lane or teamfights where you should not stand, you open yourself to get stunned and will die. I think that is great, in the long run it will increase the awareness and skill of the whole playerbase.

His passive doesn't do that much damage. Its 12+ 2xlevel per attack (with a bonus attack on the proc, which does as much damage as 5 attacks for only 4 stacks) and once its proced only Braum can add the extra damage. Considering that he has, literally one non-ultimate damaging ability something that takes ticks to pop and only then does damage comparable to Lulu's passive(Which is roughly 3+6/level + .15 AP placable on your AD so that you can benefit from their range and attack speed) isn't all that strong.

Its the slow and stun that makes him strong combined with the ability to body block while also being really tanky

edit: And by tanky i mean its his E.

He has less level 18 health than Thresh, tied with Leona (who are both about 280 behind Best in Class Alistar), though he does have best in class level 18 armor/mr not counting self buffs.

You say this. But unlike melee supports. He doesnt have to commit to anything. His q is a long range. If it misses he's not in a bad position to get rekt.

more people eager to play support is hardly a bad thing for the game

People dride support so hard now. Everyone is always saying how little recognition they get and how they carry every game, and no other role matters because its all on the support to win, it's the new cool thing to do.
I think I remember reading the position popularities were something along the lines of
Mid
Top
Support
ADC
Jungle

They probably need to reduce the amount of damage reduction on his E but I honestly don't think he's as big of a deal as people are making him out to be. He's up there, for sure, but Thresh provides more utility and I still think Leona is stronger overall. Once people begin to respect his passive and not overextend against his defensive capabilities I think he'll be just a strong pick.

His E needs a nerf, though, but only a small one.

There might be fewer people listing jungle as their "best", but people are almost always willing to fill jungle, or have it as their 2nd or 3rd preffered role. in the last few months pretty much the only role which I've had people "ask" me to fill has generally been ad. Haven't really been seeing anyone say "I can't support/jungle/top/mid, can you pls?" in months, but with adc it happens relatively often

At my skill-level nobody wants to fucking play top, so I'm forced to do it and i have no idea what to do LOL.

Hey that's me, I'm always "anything but top". Or when I have to play top I just pick Aatrox, because I got this shit mastered or Shen and just farm, farm, farm, ult from time to time and play this shit safe. I have no idea how to play other top laners. I suck at Renekton, I can do Jayce but after laning phase I seem to be pretty meh... What else? Shyvana ain't no fun for me, same goes to Yorick and other tanky shit. I just don't like playing top tanks.
