Braum, the Heart of the Freljord, revealed

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=Last Plagas] To me it looks like [[morgana]] does pretty much everything he does, but better. [/quote] Does Morgana eat metric fuck tons of damage and slap people with her majestic mustache? No? I didn't think so. But seriously, it's an entirely different style of support. Braum is a reactionary defender support. [[Morgana]] is a mage who's acting like a support because she can.[/quote]

[quote=Last Plagas][quote=OTGBionicArm] But seriously, it's an entirely different style of support. Braum is a reactionary defender support. [[Morgana]] is a mage who's acting like a support because she can. [/quote] How is [[Morgana]] and her black shield not reactionary? And they are extremely similar. Both of them are baby-mode support which don't make plays, because they have 1 agressive skillshot spell (you miss it and you have nothing to do besides protecting your adc and auto-attack harassing). That changes after level 6, but that's beside the point.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Let's explain it like this; [[Morgana]]: "Oh you're engaging on my carry, fuck your CC, you're snared and punished for your bad play. Did I mention I'm a squishy mage that deals butt loads of damage but dies to any focus?" Braum: "Oh I see you're engaging on my carry, lolno. I block your carries attacks entirely with the hair on my chest and stun your support and you're getting mustache slapped for that play. Did I mention I'm a fucking tank that has 40% DR and eats all your damage?" ^Similar sure, but entirely different in the long run.[/quote]

[/quote] The difference being: in one of those 2 instances engage doesn't happen at all.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Ok well Morg doesn't really do damage unless you build AP. Generally you, after getting sightstone, rush for Zhonyas's. After that you're not (as) squishy and you can ult someone without dying even though lane phase is over. Her R Q and E make great peel as R also has a slow. Get a Void after that and you're set. I don't know why you're making these assumptions already OTG, he hasn't been released yet. Morg is a top tier support she's not a mage pretending to be a support because oh lookie there she has a shield!! I still don't understand why you always feel the need to defend newly or even not yet released champions, but I guess this is a thing that's gonna happen each time, eh? Just because you like the champion doesn't mean that they're amazing. Okay great he has a mustache and oh great he's a samurai type and oh lookie he's a tank... like, okay, yeah great but that doesn't make him overpowered or straight off the bat better than XXX and/or YYY. I, too, am disappointed with his kit, right now. But I won't go ahead and judge the champ right now and say he's better than Morg/Morg is better than him. Though he DOES seem like a weaker Morg.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I'm not seeing any similarities other than they defend people rather than engage. One's a tank and one's a mage (and not actually intended to be a full support). But anyway, Missmaw, I admit I get excited about new champions a lot. This game heavily bores me between champion releases, so just let me have my excitement please. :D[/quote]

[quote=Joxuu]Levels 1-5 are quite horrible with most of the ad carries. [[Lucian]] + [[Braum]] was op as hell tho.[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]pretty much going to have to get this champ...simply for the mustache.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=Joxuu] Levels 1-5 are quite horrible with most of the ad carries. [[Lucian]] + [[Braum]] was op as hell tho. [/quote] yea that's what I was thinking. You pick Braum more for the enemy team than you do for the lane, imo[/quote]
