Brand Counters :: Counter Picking Stats for Brand by CounterStats

Daers says “I don't like this matchup since he ends up being able to securely lay more damage than you to everyone in a teamfight, but laning into him should be easy as long as you can avoid getting stunned.”

[Season 11] Diana Mid Runes/Builds/Matchups/Guide [UPDATING] by Daers | Diana Player

Yeager says “His range can be quite annoying but luckily his main poke (Q and W) are skillshots. Rush tier 2 boots(Mercs) right after lost chapter and this lane will be easy. Brand usually builds rylais chapter and liandries because of its synergy with the passive, so you will be hit by slows into stuns during fights. Mercs helps with that, but if it isn't enough, then cleanse is. ”

Yeager's Master Orianna guide by Yeager | Diamond Orianna Player

Aethlo says “Brand has the wave clear advantage. || Brand loses pre-3 || Brand wins pre-6 || Brand loses slightly post-6 || Annie and Brand have equal scaling. || TIP: Brands love to shove waves effortlessly by E-W the caster minions and then proceed to bombard you with his 3 part combo whilst you farm under tower. You can use his excessive AOE to your advantage - let him AOE the wave and notify your jungle that he is pushing. Due to his immobile nature you can easily secure a kill with a few ganks. DO NOT GET HIT BY HIS Q (stand behind minions). || BONUS: Rush Sorc shoes to increase your chances of dodging her spells.”

iZianni says “Lux outranges, you should only die in this match up if you're playing extremely poorly. Brand can match poke with W, but you can cast from farther so it really shouldn't be equal. Lux favored for sure.”

Challenger Lux Guide by iZianni | Diamond Lux Player

Yeager says “He does have the range advantage, but your waveclear is better when you have the hex core. Rush boots early to dodge his skillshots and focus on farming. Stay away from your minions, else he will spread his passive onto you. ”

Yeager's Master Viktor Guide by Yeager | Diamond Viktor Player

Yasukeh says “Try to stay away from minions so that he can't clear minions at the same time he is harrassing you. Once you get tiamat, you can often tank his stun with your spin and all in him. If he misses his stun, he has no way of stopping you from running him down. ”

Drewmatth Taliyah says “Start Doran + 2 Pots if 1) You think you can outplay her and hit your W's to generate a kill at levels 3-5 or 2) You think she will burst you down post 6 (get an extra ring). Start Corrupting if you think you will not hit your W's (or you will get poked down) and you rely more on wave clear/spammy poke (you will be way more squisher but more durable -- this is recommended if you are sure you will not get hit by CC spells and instantly die). Relatively easy matchup but you can still be killed if he hits his stun. Predict that and go for the kill. Roam if you cannot kill him but push your lane first. Stay away from minions when he casts R (or teammates, of course).”

Polarshift says “Outdamages you, but you can easily setup a gank for your jungler. If you dodge his Q pre-6 you can get close, otherwise not. Remember that his R counts as a third stack too. His passive is actually dodgeable with your ult if you havent been stunned by his Q. I don't remember the timing, but I think you have to predict it and use it just before his passive applies to you.”

iZianni says “You might get poked, but you can cast spells while moving making it extremely difficult for brand to land a full combination. If you're capable of landing a Q/E in this match up it's a guaranteed kill. Remain off-center from minion wave and try to avoid unnecessary damage before all-inning after a few short trades. Brand has no mobility either :) ”

LunarVortex says “His poke is very annoying, but his lack of mobility also makes him vulnerable to your kit. Make sure not to waste your E on poke unless you're absolutely sure you won't need it otherwise.”

Fuzzmonkey says “Leblanc struggles a little bit since her revert. With Brand he can ult you and it will bounce between you and your passive clone(once he gets you low enough), so make sure to steer your clone away from yourself to avoid the bounce damage.

BubbaStudmuffin says “Brand has some heavy damage and a great aoe ability. If you let him land it he will win trades. On the other hand, he is super squish. If you can manage to dodge his shit and then get on him he has no backup plan. He is fucked! Royally! Engage after he uses his aoe. The more mobile you can be while fighting him the better.”

True Assassin Akali by BubbaStudmuffin | Akali Player

wildersovereign says “Brand Mid is a thing again thanks to his recent buffs, but if you play smart you should be fine. His poke with W is exceptionally annoying, but once you get Lost Chapter, Morgana can actually farm from outside his W range with Tormented Shadow spam. Remember that his Q only stuns you if you're Ablaze (hit by another ability), but position around your minions accordingly. You win the all-in, but keep an eye on the enemy jungler before you go in for the kill. You'll want to use your E to block his Q stun, which leaves you open to CC from his jungler.”

SkyBanana says “Brand's ability to slowly wither you is going to be a pain at all stages of the game. Unless you have a lot of help to deal with him, he will destroy your team with his passive and item combo of Liandry/Demonic.”

Seraphine Mid Lane Guide by SkyBanana | Seraphine Player

Sylvan Lore says “Brand is a matchup very similar to Ahri in your early trading. He has good range and you want to make sure that when he is poking with his W that he is forced to make the decision between pushing the wave and damaging you. At the same time though, standing beside your wave leaves you at threat for a stun which is in almost all cases a lost trade. If you ever find yourself in a 1v1 without a wave nearby after level 6 it is possible to win, but in generally he out damages you. You will out-scale him with utility and a bunch of other advantages, but should your team clump poorly he can destroy a teamfight. Barrier can be good if you feel afraid in this matchup but I also think his kill pressure isn't so high that teleport isn't an option. Merc treads or Banshee's Veil work if you do fall behind and are struggling to hold your own against him. ”

Aikairi says “Same thing with Ahri. Try to dodge his stun when he uses his E or his W to hit you. You can also shunpo when you see his W which is very telegraphed. Make sure to zigzag around so his stun is harder to hit, and if he misses it, try to go all-in on him as he doesn't have any form of mobility to escape with. Be careful of his post-6 burst as due to his recent buffs he is very strong in 1 v 1s tho.”

Veralion says “HoB/beads. Almost always goes support nowadays, shouldn’t be too bad, but he does tons of damage and can be very unforgiving. Save W to yeet out of his pillar and never get EQ’d and you’re good. Be careful when walking up for farm, as a good Brand will put his pillar down right in your path expecting you to run into it. Feint walking up and bait it out beforehand if possible; that ability seriously hurts. I’m pretty sure he just explodes you instantly if you ult on top of him at 6 out of the blue, let him stun you, and guarantee him a full combo, so don’t do that. Wait for him to use spells on the wave (especially E, his EQW combo is what makes him truly dangerous), then charge him and R when you’re too close to miss. He has no mobility; you will easily catch and absolutely melt him. If your jungler swings by and lands some CC, you will kill him before it expires. ”

Even if Brand misses his W, Pillar of Flame he can still easily stun you with an EQ combo so don't dive in recklessly. Brand players will often opt for Rod of Ages or Abyssal Mask as their mana item which can make killing them extremely difficult. If this happens to be the case - push the wave in and roam.”

The key is to avoid his Q at all costs, especially if he has previously hit you with his W, E, or R abilities as this will stun you and open you up to a full combo from him. The best way to take him on is to hold your E for as long as you possibly can. When he throws his ult at you or your minion wave, use your E when it's traveling towards you. It may take some good timing in order to dodge it, but if you do, the ultimate bounce will end and it will be on a full CD. This will allow you to counter attack with ease.”

AzureArmatt says “You don't see him often on mid lane these days but he's still champion that's a midlaner. His kit focus on applying debuff on his target for extra effects and trying to land 3 abilities in order to get extra damage from passive. His passive is simply mini ignite that will deal magic damage over time. While you are "burning" if brand hits his abilities on you they will receive bonuses (Q will stun you, W will deal more damage and E will set more target ablaze next to you. if brand stack this passive on you up to 3 stacks circle will appear around you, that's an area of explosion that will deal damage to the targets next to you so don't stay close to your teammates when having that on you. You can win against brand when you buy Magic resist (banshe's veil is good paired with mercury's treads to reduce stuns) and don't let yourself being hit by his abilities too much (they have long delays). if you manage to do just that it's easy win”

OmegaSquadVeigar says “As long as you dodge his Q and W you should be fine and just beat him due to him having about the same range as you do. Avoid getting close to other teammates in teamfights due to his huge AoE damage. You should be able to win against him without much trouble due to being able to just burst him if he gets close.”

shuckhax123 says “When your teammates make his ult/passive hurt you, its annoying. 1v1 he shouldn't be able to kill you tho”

thedonk says “Avoid getting stunned by his E, as well as dodge all of his skillshots. He wouldn't be much of a problem if it wasn't for the interaction of your clone and his R. If he ults, you go under 40% hp and your clone will spawn and it will bounce back and forth between you two.”

[9.6] My Leblanc Guide Of Deceit by thedonk | Diamond LeBlanc Player

Valor_Chaos says “certainly annoying, but if he burns his q early then just walk up and hit him. He wont do shit to you. Once you get 6 you can melt him with passive and ult if you need to. A safer solution is to wait till 11 but thats true for everyone”

Kayle, the Auto Attacker by Valor_Chaos | Kayle Player

overweight_zoe says “Not very scary for zoe if you're decent at dodging abilities. Stronger wave clear and mobility will help you shut him down. Deep wards are your friends as you can easily one shot Brand crossing through the jungle.”

apsonalol says “Começa com bota e desvia das suas skill shots, procure sempre pokear ele depois de usar o W é a única skill que incomoda muito, brand tem um problema é que no lvl 6 ele não precisa acerta nada em você, só o E e R, as 2 são target então, fica complicado, mas se você tiver um bom inicio de jogo e tirar ele da lane várias vezes, você ganhará a match up.”

Filthyrich says “His range is so long so he will punish you. Your tibbers can make you get hit by his ult. Remember you can dodge his spells, he cant dodge all of yours.”

Annie from bronze by Filthyrich | Annie Player

moutenn says “You have to be fast on your feet. Bait him to waste his w, by acting like you are gonna take a minion, and back of before you hit it. (If he times it to hit you when you try and get a minion, just let the minion go. There is no reason to lose 1/3 of your hp for it.) An easy way to kill most brands, is to send out your combo (w-e-q). His instict will tell him to get returndamage on you. Reactivate your w and start going on him. He will have nothing left to do against you (unless he stand with minions and you get hit by his r over and over again.) If you just go for him (r first) prioritize to juke his q. The stun allows him, to get a full combo on you - you will die. If you are not confident you can go hexdrinker. (Dont build in to Maw until way later. There is no reason to because you just want the effect of hexdrinker.) ”

The Ancient Bloodlord Vladimir Guide by rimzaki | Vladimir Player

Sozzoh says “Brand has more zoning and poke in the early game, so be a bit careful in lane. If you can, push lane as hard as you can and negate farm from Brand by either zoning him off or poking him. Brand has no mobility, and is very mana hungry in the early game, so while still being careful, poke him from a distance. Don't clump in teamfights near brand, or else he'll unleash his full combo and obliterate your entire team.”
