got an idea for a viable good braum top build

Asked by parrot6632 on September 24, 2015

so i was playing braum earlier today as supp. i was pretty far ahead and decided to go titanic hydra because why not? it turned out that the item actually gave braum a really good amount of damage. at full build i was able to 1v1 the enemy top laner at his full build. i was wondering if this could make braum toplane a more viable pick? the build was

ninja tabi
titanic hydra
dead mans plate
warmogs
banshee's veil
(insert situational item) for me it was steraks

and there you go

The new "scales out of hp" items surely helped braum top, who already scales off of defensive stats. One of the problems braum top has is lack of mid/late game damage (only one damage spell on a medium cooldown) and T-hydra/sterak's can help patch that.

I'm guessing he will still only be useful in certain team comps (ap support or mid-adc hypercarries both needing someone specificaly defending them), but he became a somewhat decent pick with the juggernaut update. I say you go on and try that build, it seems solid enough.

My friends I have tried many builds for braum top. In the beginning I have had good results building tank, but then I somehow I decided to test if that famous theory could be applied on braum top, "the best defense is a good attack", and the results I have had in lane confirmed my theory. Then magically I found this man's build, and it is by far the best braum top build I have found an tried.

Normally top laners have some form of wave clear to control the lane, braum only has 1 damaging single-target ability aside from ultimate, so you will basically be pushed to tower every matchup, which is horrible since his csing under tower is just horrible. Your trades will consist of q and some autos, after that's gone there's nothing else you can really do making him really bad at 1v1ing champions. But you can capitalize off of people being stupid, like trying to duel you when your stacks are on them, but that really only happens in lower elos. The only thing I would think he'd be good for is and engage or cc for a gank, but why would you put that utility top lane, when you can just make him a support for literally the same outcome.
