A very interesting match-up, I managed to actually have the highest gold, tied with Nunu. I still need to work on my last hitting, my only problem is gauging with Brand's weak auto attack. Twisted Fate and myself (Brand) were center, Soraka (being my friend Superknight123) & Tryndamere topside against Volibear., then Sivir & Teemo bottom against Ezreal & Morgana while Nunu jungled. The teams got along very well, and the Twisted Fate was a chatty and cheeky opponent. While I managed to pull of first blood on him, retreated soon rose my alert. From there it was a typical match. It was very fun and eventually there were a few bear puns made and it was a rather enjoyable atmosphere. I helped save a few teammates from certain death and they returned the favor, my biggest concern was Nunu's ultimate when he decided to come through the river behind me. It happened once and I only responded by placing more wards on the opposing river bushes in the middle. Mostly looking for more feedback in case. Toward the end I was trying to build the Abyssal Scepter. My normal starting is not Doran's Ring, but is instead two Fairie Charms. Reason being, for me, selling something and getting less in return is just bad in my opinion. I'd rather buy something I may use later on, like the Fairie Charms in building Athene's Unholy Grail. However, I'm more than willing to listen to reason on this. I've had so much luck with the Grail in situations where I'd have Mana issues. I've been talking back and forth and the Doran's Ring is sounding more appealing, but still irritating to me.
As far as Brand builds, while I'm not level 30 (13 as of that game), I've been using This Brand Build.

I've had a lot of fun and luck using Brand, I have a good affinity with the champion. So if you have anymore advice to throw my way, let me know. (Braces self for the harsh critics).

Next game, I'll try Doran's Ring though for sure. I'm often thrown into the AP position because everyone else plays AD or Tanks, so I'd often go with Brand (love his killer combo).

Last note, if you're looking for me anywhere else, look for either Grimol or GlycerinGhost, 90% of the time, it's me. And I apologize if this seems rather scattered in thoughts and organization. ^.^' Also, look at Superknight's Blog for better details on the match.
