Uh... yeah. It's kinda sad
The kite flyer is my BANE. Seriously, it not only gets Brainstorm RIDICULOUS amounts of cards, but it's a science zombie on top of that, so it can be buffed by the drone flyer. Oh, and let's not forget that the one chemist card can give it a bonus attack... and ANOTHER CARD. It's stupid.

Sometimes it helps to change strategies.
If you don't see a way to stop someone from drawing a lot of extra cards, go with it.
Let them fill up until they get ten cards. Then their shield doesn't work, and you don't have to worry about being blocked.
I haven't had too much trouble with the Prof. Sometimes I do lose, but then again, sometimes I lose against any of the other avatars, but it's actually not a bad matchup for some of my plant decks.
The best strategy is to let them fill the lanes and neuter their cards, for example by giving them attack below 0. Then they can't actually play their cards effectively. You can use water lane, strikethrough or bonus attacks to get your own damage through.
I've won many games with the professor playing his super power on the first turn and ending up with 6-9 cards in their hands like this. The trickster is definitely powerful though but is also stymied by blocking their lanes because then they can't easily find an empty lane to deal damage to you and finish you off (best use of the trickster).
Of course, like in any game, sometimes you get a really slow start and they just roll you over, but if you play skillfully with the right cards you should be able to defeat even a well prepared professor deck.
You clearly have no idea how the game works. IF you get one of the Destroy a plant cards like rocket science or chickening in the extra cards you won the game unless you are new to the game or the other player cheesed you in 3-4 turns. Try to deny this and i know you are not even taco league. Take the fact that 80% ( bronze / diamond) of the players dont use cards at round 1 just the top tier players.
Having 2 draw a card powers its broken for a hero. it is simple if you dont see it you probably want it to stay that way to keep the cheese.
The only way im able to defeat a professor brainstorm in ultimate league is to cheese him with my early 3-4 round win built that i have to force myself to use even if i dont like it. You draw any card that has 4-5 cost as a plant you lose the game just one card draw from round 1-3 and if you want me to go into detail let me know. Because if you say that play all low cost cards you can run into the encounter of AEO chickening or any other mass destroy turn and you lose.
You can call out all your strategies and counter plays but you are just digging yourself into reality that the longer the game goes the higher the chances to lose by cards.
In conclusion Professor Brainstorm is broken at the moment, how to fix him ? Remove one of the draw a card powers or make the 3 random cards power give you 1 card and a less than 2 cost zombie placed in a random lane.
THE GAME : its supposed to be more strategy based and not "" lets see if i get lucky and the enemy does not get the extra 2 cards that will win him the game in round 1"". And no there is no other Hero that can call out a win in round one you need to go by a series of strategy actions.

Huh. Guess I didn't think of that.
I really don't think Kite Flyer is that OP by himself, I just think the sheer amount of cards the Prof can get at times can be overwhelming. Though now that I've thought about it a little more, I guess it's not that bad. After all, I've beaten the Prof before using good strategy and just the right amount of luck. So, I'd say I've changed my mind about it.
i'm not a sheep i swear
