AbilitiesLeague Wiki
We undershot our Braum nerfs last patch so we're delivering another similarly-sized nerf to get him to the right spot. We're happy that he can reliably remain his team's front line, but that doesn't mean he needs to be as good as he is at starting late game teamfights.
Glacial Fissure
- Base damage reduced to 150/250/350 from 150/300/450.
- Cooldown increased to 130/115/100 seconds from 120/100/80.
Braum has easily become a top tier support with the start of the new season. New items like Bandlepipes have been instrumental in helping him and his allies stick onto enemies and take them down. Given that Braum is still looking quite strong even after the nerf to Bandlepiepes, we'll be looking to revert the health buffs we gave him at the end of last year and bring down some of his overall fighting power.
Stats
- Base health reduced to 610 from 630.
Winter's Bite
- Base damage reduced to 75/120/165/210/255 from 75/125/175/225/275.
Our resident mustachioed muscle man is a little weak right now, so in this patch we're looking to put a bit more pep in his… punch. To do that, we're playing up his active brawling with some durability early on and increased damage in extended fights so he can punch his opponents into submission.
Stats
- Base health increased to 630 from 610.

- Post-stun bonus damage increased to 40% of trigger damage from 20%.

Braum's looking a little weak, so we're helping him hit a bit harder after his passive has stunned a target.
