Riot Games has rushed to curtail Brand’s power today after the fiery mage emerged as the clear best jungle pick early in the League of Legends Season 14 metagame.
While many League fans had already expected the Burning Vengeance to see nerfs in Patch 14.3 in early February, the Riot balance team has today decided that was too long a wait considering how powerful the mage has become. Instead of waiting, they shipped two changes for the champ in a Jan. 24 hotfix update.
