Brand Matchup

Brand Matchup:

Summoners:
- High Elo: Flash Ghost/Ignite
- Mid Elo: Flash Ignite
- Low Elo: Flash Ignite

Runes and Build:
- High Elo: Scaling Predator
- Mid Elo: Scaling Predator
- Low Elo: Standard Conqueror

Why?:
- High Elo: Ranged champ, so Predator and Ghost is good to stick onto him, although he has 0 dashes so Ghost might be a bit overkill.
- Mid Elo: Same as High Elo, but you take Ignite always because they won't know how to play from a distance that well.
- Low Elo: Same as Mid Elo, but you take Conqueror because Brand has 0 dashes and its Low Elo. He'll most likely stand still and use abilities without bothering to walk backwards.

How to win?:
- High Elo: Run at him and kill him. Your silence is insane in this matchup because he's just a mage that doesn't deal an insane amount of damage to you early game, at least until he gets Liandries or maybe both Liandries and Demonic.
- Mid Elo: Same as High Elo
- Low Elo: Same as High Elo

General Tips:
Brand may be annoying due to his poke, but his biggest damage abilities are all skill shots, so if you sidestep them, then that's your cue to go in.

Starting Item:
- High Elo: Doran's Shield then Cull
- Mid Elo: Doran's Shield then Cull
- Low Elo: Doran's Shield
- All Elos: Make sure to stock up on potions every back, don't bother with refillable as it'll heal only 125HP compared to health potions that heal 150HP, even though refillable always refills each back. You only get 2 refillable potions compared to health potions where you can get a max of 5.
