Riot has been reducing the 'randomness' in LoL lately. What about Brand's ult?

How come dota players never complains about Lich ultimate not prioritizing heroes...?
Brand ultimate is situational, you can't just press a button and expect a kill off it.

Well that would be kinda OP at LVL 6 if it prioritize champions.
400 base dmg alone from his ulti that's 2/3 of your life at lvl 6

Don't you think that's an issue? Doesn't it 'feel' terrible knowing that you would waste your ult if you use it? Doesn't it seem wrong that you have to wait for two champions to be on the screen that may or may not ever get close enough to warrant bounces? How could anyone enjoy that?

Nerf his ult, make it more consistent.

Lack of consistency is what stops it from being broken.

Brand is already a niche hero getting almost no tournament exposure, even the "pros" who hit skillshots well think he is too skillshot oriented, and on top of that he has no escape with only a random ult that can do almost nothing or do some strong AOE damage. Compare him to someone like mordekaiser who can come back from being shutdown early game hard and has a ton of AoE as well as a shield to protect bruisers. He has an ult that can reliably be game changing if you manage to hit the carry and is more durable with his two shields as well so he doesn't get instantly melted in teamfights. Couple this on top of how he fits into the double wota meta, his way easier skillshot (which is barely even a skillshot) and his 0 reliance on blue buff, and you have a champion that pretty much obsoletes brand, not to mention brand gets countered by high mobility such as ahri/kennen. The only things brand has on mordekaiser (who isnt even a god tier mid) is potential to do more Aoe with his ult and skillshots, an iffy stun, and a decent passive to chunk tanks. Not really reliable at all.

A few days ago I ulted the team (as Brand) around our inner mid turret (near the Wraiths). I clicked on an enemy champion. It bounced once and then went straight for the Wraiths.. worst 90g I've ever made.

I've had my life ruined so many times by Ults doing similar things. I was bottom running a Taric/Brand comp. 1 out of 7 of Brands ults bounced between the enemy champions. That is unforgivable and unpleasant.

It probably should just be majorly tweaked in general. Because doing only a bit more damage than your E leveled 3 times by level 6 against a lone target is kinda lame, as is getting a double kill when fighting two players in the jungle and river.

Oh, that's interesting. I didn't know that... I'll see if I can get someone to answer this tomorrow.
