I was wondering which ADCs would go well with Braum's kit. The only one i can think up is Tristana and Taric (;p).

Lucian Braum is a well known combo. Lucian can proc the stun from Braum's passive easily with his own. Other than that, I quite like MF + Braum since he can keep people in place for her ultimate. In some situations, he can also clutchly stop people from interrupting her ult with any projectiles. ADCs with CC like Ashe also do well with Braum cuz of the stun-lock potential. He can also keep Ashe, and other immobile ADCs, safe in teamfights with his peel.

I rarely see braum used in Silver and it really surprises me. I find his kit overall pretty fantastic but i guess in that elo peopole find his difficult to use potentially ? I used to play him so much but found adc's dont really like to polay to his play style and he falls off a little, but come on that huge team knock up is pretty unbeatable right ?!?!?!

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

Braum's biggest weakness is his slow/weak laning phase. In order to do well as Braum, you have to think about the long term; team fights, objectives, a fed ADC. In low elo, games are far more explosive and the early game matters more than in higher elo. Braum may get countered or pummeled in lane by more aggressive poke-style supports and not be able to recover due to the nature of the volatile game.

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! :)

I thought I'd offer some of my own experiences vs Morgana. I see both in your Leona and Braum guides that you list her in the highest threat, and I can see why, but playing as Braum I believe it's a better choice. Leona is regarded for her aggressive laning which Morgana almost nullifies, but playing with Braum I can still play defensively and protect my ADC, so I usually pick him against her. I just feel like he doesn't lose his whole role because of Black Shield, he can still use his great peel to keep his lane partner safe. At least, that's how I play it in that matchup and it usually works.

Jovy (954) | March 12, 2019 4:49pm
hard doesn't mean unbeatable, but I would never say that she doesn't counter Braum. She can poke him and his ADC and she can nullify his engage; at the very least in laning phase when there it is usually only 2v2 and so only 1 or 2 persons to shield rather than 5.

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.

Excuse me mate, I didn't mean to disrespect you or your guide, I was strictly speaking of my own experiences. Granted, I'm low elo so it doesn't mean much but I just generally feel that Braum can still play the role of support with his amazing peel even against Morgana, Leona is mostly just known for her aggressive engage, that's all.

Also, thanks for the suggestions in counterpicks against her, I will keep them all in mind.

Any tip for brand matchup? He took half of my health with shield on... and also 2 abilities that by pass the shield and also if the flame pillar is about to hit the adc i cant just w him for mr

Jovy (954) | January 1, 2019 5:43am
I would never pick Braum into Brand because Braum is way too vulnerable to his poke. Although he gets tankier later, he can't defend his ADC well or keep himself safe in the early levels against Brand. The only thing you can do is avoid all poke and engage on Brand after he uses his abilities (his Q especially, since he cannot stun without it). It's also best not to engage if Brand is lvl 6 or his ultimate is not on CD, because it'll be easy to bounce it between you, as a melee champ, and your ADC. Unless he is severely behind somehow.

Awesome guide! Should I play more of an aggressive or defensive Braum? I'm used to hyper-aggressive support play (although I must admit, the only support I've played for a long term is a very aggressive Shen, and I one-tricked him support for wayyyyyy too long). And I think Braum is a defensive support, which might mean I will have at least some difficulty playing him adeptly. However I do have a hunch that he brings a bit of both worlds.

Jovy (954) | December 5, 2018 2:58am
thank you Fisheyes! basically, because he's a melee tank, he can't poke people and he can't reciprocate poke. This is why you're basically forced to play a bit defensively; if you try to be too aggro all the time, you will get punished (poked down) and you won't be able to engage later as you'll be too low. But, I wouldn't call him defensive (=passive) so to speak; more like cautious, yet aggressive. You can play him full defense and babysit your ADC, but he's actually great in a full on fight and shines with burst ADCs like Lucian, Draven, MF and so forth.

F1SHEYES (3) | December 5, 2018 2:23pm
Thanks so much for your response! I usually play the support role in my 5 stack (I never play ranked btw, I don't want the stress) and I was thinking of picking him up. Your response helped a ton!

Thanks for the Braum guide! I'm really just trying different supports and learning the roles they fill. Should i try working with more mage/marksmen adcs or does it not matter. I've been trying to play him far back just because I don't want to get ganked, however should i build a tanky build or focus more on attack?
1
Jovy (954) | October 24, 2018 3:38am
nah you don't build any attack on Braum, however the more health you build the more damage your Q does. Just focus on building health and armour or MR if necessary, and getting those support items like Knight's, Solari and the like.

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.

I hadn't noticed you had your own Braum guide. I'll use it since I was pretty satisfied with your Leona, MF and Janna guides so I'll apply this one too in my games. It's good to see a lot of options for a poor support main.
