Hi,I'm RedFire2055 from the EUW server, I have played from the end of Season 4 and I created this account in Season 5.
I started to play because I always choose the element Fire character in videogames. The first game I did with him, I did a double kill so I decided to play him even more, consequently he became my Main.
At the end of Season 6 I was an Otp or "one trick pony" in Plat 3.
In Season 7 I hit Diamond 4 for the first time and later on I deranked for negligence back to Plat 3.
In Season 8 I hit Diamond 4 again so then I decided to create this guide to give other people some tips about .
Curiosity: Division 5 like Diamond 5 existed until the end of season 8.
In S9 i ended in Diamond 2 ; in S10 i hit Diamond 3 and ended in Diamond 4; in S11 i hit Diamond 3 and ended in Diamond 4.
I will try reach Master/GranMaster/Challenger.
Atm I'm one of the best players in the world.
If you want more infos this is my OP.GG and this is my LeagueOfGraphs.
If you want see me in action , this is my Youtube Channel.

Introduction

is a mage. During the seasons 4-5-6 his main role was midlaner but after the rework his flat and scaling dmg got reduced and his percent dmg on maximum life got an exponential increment, so his role how midlaner was nerfed and his duo bottom version became meta; however, i didn't surrender to meta so i still play it in his true role: PlayMaker midlaner .
If you want have easy wins with no effort midlane is not the champion that you want play ; try the version ,it is rly comfortable , you don't need learn last hit minions, you have an allie that compense your lack of sustain and mobility , the enemies are 2 , so your Aoe(Area of Effect) abilities are more efficient; is in a safer position when played in bottomlane ,like bottom carry or in position , than midlane.
And now you'll be thinking why i should play mid?
is the best 1v9 mage of the game , from lvl 6 to lvl 18 he can literally do alone enough dmg to kill all 5 enemy champions , but at the same time he is very fragile , so he needs to earn gold faster and safer possible to complete his core items to make that 1v9 thing become true ; the best place to do that is the midlane where you can farm minions safer thanks to the shortlane ,you can control other lanes and jungle doing roaming, and not less important, compared to a duolane you are not reliant on another player , so you can decide the rhythm of the game without being forced to do actions to compensate the mistakes of others, at least during the laning phase 1v1.

Pros / Cons

Pros

+ High Dmg from Earlygame to Lategame
+ Great teamfight potential
+ Q: can stun
+ Counter
+ Versatile

Cons

- No sustain
- No mobility
- No Base defense
- Frontline reliant
- Relies on enemies movements

Skills

Passive: ; this is the source of 's maximum health percentual damage. Every ability that uses becomes stronger vs enemies under the effect of Blaze.
Tip: you should chain the spells every 3-4 seconds to maximize damage.

Q: ; this is your main CC ("crowd control"), a stun that grants the power of Snare+Disarm+Silence an enemy; use it to ablaze the enemies or to block the enemy more dangerous ;To stun an enemy you must ablaze him with another spell before use .

W: ; this is your main ability;it guarantees the control of waves and teamfights and the possibility of harassing safely and to start combos. When enemies are affected by , does way more damage on them.

E: ; this is the spell you use to proc , you should use it to boost up the other abilities or to do unavoidable dmg to enemies . If an enemy is affected by , using on him will improve the spread of .

R: ; this is one of the best ultimates for teamfight of all League of Legends; it s also the insurance to do a kill 1v1. It slow enemies ablazed;
Tip: will bounce onto minions and champions but it'll prioritize enemy champions first. If you are far from enemies you can use your ultimate on minions or monsters close to them to make sure that it'll jump on the closest enemy champion . You can also use himself how support point for the jumps of the ultimate.

is also a Combo Mage , indeed you can use his spells in so many different ways thanks to his passive and his empowering mechanics. To empower a spell needs to use another one as a trigger.
Tip: Using R: how a trigger to empower others Brand's spells should be used only in special situations or as a last resort.
