There's a reason most people hate playing ADC, and hooks from this guy are a big reason. If he catches you out it can mean an instant death if you don't have Heal, Flash or even both. His AOE silence can mess you up, make sure he's stunned ASAP, both in 2v2s in lane and in late game teamfights.
Braum
Braum can prevent a lot of your early game cheese, but unlike newere releases he's actually balanced. If he's good he can be annoying but he needs a good ADC as well to completely shut your cheese so he's manageable.
Draven
This match-up is annoying AF. Hope to god either he or his Support are bad. He does way too much damage and can destroy you in just a few autos. He gets melted fast and you can somewhat predict where he will move so try your best to out damage him. It's a simple yet painful match up, if you hit your skill shots and aren't stunned for too long you should win 2v2s in lane.
Ezreal
God why is he popular? Annoying but not in the same way as Draven. You desperately need to get a kill or two in the early game to snowball and control the map but this little twerp is so safe and beginner friendly that he has Flash as a basic ability. If you don't let him farm or get a kill lead on him early he fails to scale into the late game and becomes useless.
Jhin
Farms from several kilometers away if you get even the smallest of leads, still gets every CS.
Roots you from across the country.
Scales insanely well even if behind.
One shots you with one auto while you had a quarter of you health bar, at level 2.
Refuses to elaborate.
Leaves with his LP while babbling on about art or some ****.
Jinx
If she didn't win lane you can melt her in 1 rotation regardless of how fed she is, but man she does insane damage. Catch her by suprise and she pops like a balloon.
Kalista
Theoretically she counters you...but when's the last time you've seen her? Let alone played well.
Karma
Nah it's cool, just shield your adc and give them enough MS to walk out of my effective range...again, it's fine.
She falls off hard, win the lane and laugh as her power falls off a cliff late game.
Kassadin
God why is he back? Who put him back? Why is he played again? Why can he safely scale? Who invited him? Can they un-invite him? Why can he dodge my entire kit while taking no damage?
Katarina
Best proof that 200 years always existed. Wait for her to start her ult before firing a single ability, there's no point in trying to hit her before hand. After she ults, stun her and burst her down, just hope you get the chance.
LeBlanc
Le****
Kog'Maw
Easy win, regardless of how fed he is he dies instantly, aim your abilities at his approximate vicinity and he drops like a fly. Hope he doesn't have a enchanter glued to him and watch as he dies from the fire that spread from his frontline all the way to him.
Leona
Stay away from her range and you shall mentally break them. Leona players will look for any chance to monkey brain their way to you, wait for her to mess up, hit her with E+Q and melt her slowly throughout the laning phase, she can't build MR as well as Armor. Her ult is a constant threat later on, but other then that she's manageable.
Lucian
Lucian is a good example of a fun skill match-up. If you land your skills you burst him down but he can dodge them and melt you down just as fast. If he's better he wins, if you're better you win. BTW don't be afraid to tank a few seconds of his ult if you're at high health cause you get a free stun into a full skill rotation.
Lulu
Who awakened the devil and why did he create this monstrosity? good luck bursting anything down while she's alive, priority target in late game.
Lux
Unreasonable early game damage. If she can aim her Q, laning will not be fun. They usually ignore their ADC so you can easily burst him down if her abilities are on cooldown, don't worry she won't remember to W.
Maokai
Only annoying tank support match up. If he's smart he'll just spam E and make sure his ADC doesn't commit to all ins. If he's dumb he'll W into you and burn.
Miss Fortune
A bit too safe and does a bit too much damage late game for my liking. Snuff her out early on and she'll be less then useless later.
Morgana
Imagine wanting to deal damage or stun your opponents hahaha.
My perma ban for a reason.
Nami
A good nami can be the best counter to any burst damage in the game. Good thing there aren't any, 9 out of 10 times its a free win.
Alistar
God bless his soul, he stuns you and tries his best but his 2010 kit can only get him so far. If you can survive the first few seconds of his all in you can melt his ADC down and watch as the cow slowly walks away in defeat. He doesn't do anything late game.
Nautilus
Most Nautileses monkey brain their way through the game, as long as he doesn't land hooks too often you can poke him down enough to where he either immediately dies after hooking you or he gets too low to go all in.
Nocturne
It's time for your scheduled CBT session. If he decides to camp you during laning phase you aren't gonna be having fun.
Olaf
Not common but a big problem regardless, If there's another mage on your team he can easily build MR and mow you down. Run hourglass to counter him hard.
Pyke
Safest assassin in the game, safer then Zed, and that says a lot. He's got it all: invisibility, a dash that stuns, a hook that can serve as an auto attack reset and one of the best ults in the game. It doesn't matter how far behind his team is, he just needs to get lucky once and all of a sudden the teams are even in gold. **** this guy.
Qiyana
Honest to god I still can't tell what this character does. Whatever it is, it stuns me while I'm as far away from a wall as possible and burst me in less then a second. Hope to god she doesn't get fed.
Rakan
Predictable engage and he helps my ult hit the rest of his team, love to see em.
Casually engages from the opposite side of lane, windwalls your entire kit and does more AoE damage then most mages. Very cool.
Senna
She's not scary at all, melt her down before she becomes an issue, if she doesn't survive in lane long enough for her passive to stack up she become useless late game. If she somehow managed to enter the late game with her core and a good amount of stacks pray to god.
Seraphine
The ease at which she pokes frustrates me. She doesn't hit hard but she hits often. If she hits a good ult late game she can win the game, other then that she manageable.
Sett
This is an anime and he's the main character. If you really wanna try and mess with him keep him at a distance and force out his W, after that he gets melted fast.
Shaco
The jokes on me IG.
You can tell his clones apart if you set him on fire beforehand but other then that he counters you pretty well. If it's shaco support hope he doesn't use his boxes well.
Shen
Keep an eye out for the enemy Shen, risky all ins aren't smart after he hits lvl 6.
Whoops, looks like your team had the stupid idea of having good ults. If he gets fed its GG but if he's behind he doesn't have much hope of surviving your rotation.
Thresh
Thresh players usually run into their own death, if his ADC is too far to immediately start focusing you getting hit by his hook isn't a bad idea. If he drags himself to you you can pre-emptively use your ult and have it bounce between him and his ADC. He's usually not a problem after laning phase.
Tristana
It's usually a stat contest. If she commits to jumping on you just stun her and if she's not ahead you can burst her down.
Twitch
Twitch can be annoying, it's a tough laning phase but as long as you're not too far behind you can still melt him down the moment he pops his head out late game. Focus him down and there's not much he can do. Most twitch players are trying crown rn and it really doesn't work well on him, exploit that.
Varus
If you dodge his Q every so often you're fine. I don't know even how this champion would be considered good by anyone.
Vayne
Either the easiest win of your life or the most painful 20 minutes you'll ever experience. Make sure you win the inevitable early game 2v2s and you should be okay.
Vex
2021 champ, need I say more?
Viego
Casually tanks your entire rotation and destroys you in a few autos, all while being untargetable and healing every time he gets a takedown, very cool. Wait for him to ult into you and stun him before he stuns you, got no other advice this guys busted.
Xerath
Only other mage you often see in the bot lane that can actually pose a problem, Hope you're good at dodging.
Yasuo
No matter how far down in the dirt he gets dragged down he will still easily 1v1 anyone and never be too far behind. **** the windwall.
Yone
If yasuo was a modern day champion, he's got it all, except moral standards.
Yuumi
If there isn't a good player on the enemy team, she loses every time. If there's one even remotely good player on the enemy team and your team isn't grouping up for teamfights she wins every time.
Zilean
His revive can be annoying but he's so hard to play you'll rarely see the rest of his kit utilized well.
Alistar
Any engage support that can keep the enemy stunned for a decent amount can be good with Brand but he desperately needs a support that can do some good damage.
Amumu
Any engage support that can keep the enemy stunned for a decent amount can be good with Brand but he desperately needs a support that can do some good damage.
Anivia
Good damage, Great CC and her wall can guarantee early game kills, great off meta support for an off meta APC
Blitzcrank
For the same reasons that he is a threat he is a great asset. If he's good you can get a lot of free kills at every stage of the game.
Morgana
Lock your enemies into an eternal CC chain and watch them burn.
Pyke
Love hate relationship, as much as I hate to deal with him I can't deny how stupidly broken he is. He's not as tanky as other hook supports but he brings the damage he needs for Brand to clean up the laning phase.
Maokai
Any engage support that can keep the enemy stunned for a decent amount can be good with Brand but he desperately needs a support that can do some good damage.
Swain
"You and I are not so different Brand, we held a spotlight as decent mages on mid, but are relegated to sulk in the mud of the bot lane, not allowed to "steal kills". Today, we shall make them suffer."
Twisted Fate
Twisted Fate supports are 1 in a million, well Twisted Fate players in general. Point and Click CC and hyper mobile, Twisted Fate doesn't do any damage but Brand sure does.
Thresh
Most flexible hook champ in the game, brings enough lockdown to help Brand early on but mages and high damage supports still find Brand better.
Veigar
And he does it all because he's evil, that is the life you see, the devil tips his hat to he.
Great CC, good damage and insane scaling, what's not to love. Just don't let him steal too much farm early on.
Vel'Koz
Double poke composition go brrrrrr.
Xerath
Double poke composition go brrrrrr.
Vex
The new OP kid on the block, make use of his crazy numbers and broken caster items rn.
Zilean
If he can land his bombs its GG.
Good damage, on demand speed up and enemy slow and a revive that lets you run in brainlessly and get away with it, all while melting the enemy in the meantime.
Zyra
Double poke is strong but Zyra's easily the weakest mage on bot.
Lux
If she hits her Q she's alright.
