updated info (especially laning phase), build and layout! will do some more tweaking in the text in abilities and gameplay later :)
Could you offer me any other reasons as to why he isn't used as much. Just speaking about braum makes me want to que a few and try him out again. Thanks for the detailed and thorough build guide, i really enjoyed it THANK YOIU
I think I'd agree that Braum isn't really the best pick for lower elo. I think you will more likely want to go with a support with more catch potential or with more damage; then you'll be able to take the game into your own hands. With Braum, you have to rely more on your allies.
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you're enjoying him! :)
You are saying that you can survive against her but that's not all that you want to do bot lane ideally. If you purposefully pick him into Morgana you will, at best, if they're a good player, go even (if they're bad you can win maybe) but you can't hope to get your ADC very ahead since you can't protect him or stay sustained enough against, most likely, two ranged enemies to threaten them. Because you're not threatening, they can zone you guys easily and it'll be harder for your ADC to get CS.
Against Morgana instead I would go for someone like Lulu or Nami who don't lose out on their whole shtick when Morgana has black shield and who can trade against her, which Braum, generally, cannot.
Also, thanks for the suggestions in counterpicks against her, I will keep them all in mind.
I used to be good with Sona at least, but my focus has shifted in tank supports now so I've gotten a wee bit rusty with her as well.
You don't have to have extensive experience playing with every sort of marksman, it is important to know what your marksman needs you to play like though. A Draven wants you to be aggressive so he can snowball, a Kog'Maw wants protection until he gets Rageblade etc. It's nice to get experience with a variety of champions, but knowledge is equally useful, so if you're not already, get yourself acquainted with different marksmen - whether you're playing Braum or not. I'd even recommend playing ADC yourself if you've a mind to, since that'll teach you a lot about what they need.
