Tbh i main brand in wild rift and people flame me for playing him because of his low mobility. Even tho when im behind (5/9/12) im doing more dmg then my fed teammate (15/3/10). Basically when enemy try to team fight and im there my team cannot lose because im doing way to much dmg and cc. But again people flame me for playing him...
@@SkeletorRizzyea also main Brand, Brand has insane damage, he such a good support because he doesn't need that much gold to do damage so unlike in mid where you have to cs in support you can focus more on hitting your skills hots and it's also better for your ult to have two people to bounce around in bot lane.
thats awesome!!! i started playing brand mid recently, and even this patch its still nasty. tell him i said thany you for the tips and i wish him the best @@yumikitagana
I always played him on the mid lane tbh, never understood the support aspect (which is really just about the cc which other supports provide more consistently)
- Hits chal every season since s1 - Plays an unique champion despite meta - Gets featured on this channel only to promote a message to conserve butterflies and bees ABOSULTE GIGACHAD
Theres really something so charming about playing a champ like how you're actually supposed to. Brand is a mage, he does alot of damage, he goes to mid. Its really straightforward and I really like that mentality
Tbh that's why I really liked Milio's release. He's a very simple support, easy to understand, easy to enjoy playing. Nafiri seems cool too, with her simple abilities. Skill-cap champs are alright and all, but the charm of "champion who walks and then presses q and then leaves" never gets old. And like you said, it's so much better when you play a champ how you're supposed to play them. It's understandable and comforting.
@@nomoretwitterhandlesyet he's yuumi levels of uninteractive and cancer. Even simple champs need to have some thought put into them, which riot clearly didn't
-Stays consistenly challenger with off meta pick -Has no social media -Supports local bugs (I think it's important to state that he said local,not just the typical save the bees) Literally a gigachad
@@taizai3161because not only was he arguably the best so like top 3 if your low balling it. He was the best at his champion with minimal experience playing the game…. Like the first season you play ranked it’s not expected you’d be challenger let alone the best at a champion.
Because he isn't, he's well known and every year there's always a UA-camr making a video about how he achieved Challenger consistently with Brand mid. Pretty much every NA pro player and chall elo NA streamer knows him, he got target banned when he used to play a lot more back in earlier seasons, that's how he ended up mastering TF.
@@janbiel1221 In this case, it's mostly because of ratios. Brand has really high base damage, but mediocre ap ratios, so he's good champ to take the rol in wich he doesn't get much gold, and so a champions that needs it more can take it. Likewise, Ryze depends a mot more in items. Also, all of these champions are really good at outpoking adcs and enchanters.
I remember the time I was facing a rylai's, Heartsteel Brand mid this guy was so damn tanky and massive and the HP dmg was insane since he also got demonic, like what do you do with that monstrosity...
Brand was my first main and I think it was my love of that character that drove me to love league as much as I did. Eventually I changed lanes, mains, etc. but I always love playing brand mid so this episode hit different.
With the game shifting around slayers, assassins, fighters, all with 200 years effects, it seems to me the midlaners of old were relegated to support not because Riot intended that but rather the game state shoved them out. And a champion has to go SOMEWHERE you know - I see more top laners mid, than I see mages mid nowadays. I hope Brand gets a new legendary skin some time, I think he deserves it being such a staple champ.
This is literally the exact build I normally go for on Brand. Man's got below average AP ratios and he's a DoT machine so just... buy utility effects on your burns. Honestly kind of shocked it's NOT meta for him to build rylai's. The only two things I do different are playing him support and getting liandry's before rylai's.
Because most players in games like LoL are low-IQ dolts that chase damage, damage, DAMAGE. Items... runes... most players just take the "what gives more damage?" routes. The game has played into this by making kill times faster and faster. So the players often want to blow things up faster.
The reason is simple, He regens mana in mid from last hitting ablazed minions while you can't in support so you need Lost chapters to Function early and poke down enemy
Bee and/or Butterfly Brand skin when? Brand is one of my all time favorites. His abilities are designed to mesh and combo so well. His ult buff and the passive changes really made Brand great as a mid laner. I love seeing this guy be my hero.
If anyone is having trouble with Zed, Brand's e is longer than Zed's ult, and he will always spawn behind you, just press e and wait for his ult to be over and q behind you, sometimes if you have stopwatch you can actually kill Zed, or just stun him run away that works too
Right on man thanks! As a boomer millennial it does my heart good to see a 30 something even playing let alone at the top for a decade. Here's to the next dozen mate!
I gave up on Brand a while ago. While he still remains my champion with the most mastery, I have played him I'm at least a few seasons. Thank you Mr TITANDWEVIL and Mr Chime for inspiring me to pick him up again.
if anything i'm actually surprised that mage supports like Brand work in the first place. i often hear that support items are very gold efficient cause supports have less money. But lux, xerath and brand supports just go build towards deathcap anyways. so now i'm back to my theory that support players are just poor and underleveled for no other reason than that someone has to do it since there isn't another lane to farm.
its exactly that. 5 players, 3 lanes 1 jungle. because of this you see some weird support picks/champs. Pyke for example is a roaming support and can generate money from executing so doesnt fit the traditional support role of sticking with the ADC. you also have the mage supports (lux, brand,xerath) that provide CC and can them build up to a lot of dmg in the late game. the poor under levelled role actually makes the game more interesting, the other 4 roles are fairly stale and repetative and usually on-meta compared to support, which is a lot more dynamic with what champs can play there.
Btw, the fact he wasn't challenger in season 1 is because there wasn't challenger in season 1, only diamond. Challenger was first introduced in s2 - this guy is what all challengers aspire to become.
I play Brand mid since 2014 (from time to time). Glad to know someone is still doing this for years with electrocute as I do lool 😂. Nice message tho. We must keep a sustainable environment 🤝🏾
Story time (Father of 4 here) been playing Brand mid just as long as this guy just never made a push to be a high rank (maybe I felt I couldn't) I can 100% back this. Been playing Brand mid and rekting the mid lane for years now 💪 only thing I do different is I take q 2nd everything now and then when I know the enemy with dash or flash to me to try to kill and makes them look silly on top of the cd reducing faster makes it to where if someone jumps on you you can stun them twice before they can even reach you with flash.
12:19 is exactly why Brand is played as a support. Doesnt need a lot of gold to be useful! If you have an extended game you have a powerful full build mage rather than a normal support. These characteristics are why people play him in support, even if he has bad matchups.
Brand support is a situational good pick because hes stupidly oppressive in some matchups, he doesnt need items to do alot of damage and his abilities hit 2 instead of one. But, he doesnt scale compared to a normal support. Support is one of the hardest scaling roles in the game. Having a brand later probably means you lose to the enchanter, and the bad matchups for brand are really bad down there.
Subway Surfers coming in clutch. I was about to watch Ninjas stream cause you only talk about brand. But that distraction gave me peace of mind again to concentrate on what really matters. Wait, what was I going to say? I forgot. Imma watch some TikToks now, frfr
I was playing brand top for awhile. Its suprisingly good if you can keep wave frozen just right in front of your tower. Just hold the q for when they get pissed and try n dive you 😮
i keep ivy on my house for bee habitat primarily. last year the entire wall rumbled. hundreds of bees pollinating. wasps on the other hand... on sight. if the wasps get in the house it's on sight.
14:00 He will be pleased to know that I am in the process of planing a clover meadow in my yard specifically so that pollinators will have more food available to them.
Btw you put the Sudden Impact image where Taste of Blood should have been. Anyways, great stuff keep it up. Oftentimes i see people copying your exact vids the day after so you're doing a fantastic job
i'll go back to maining brand for real ! Back in the day he helped me reach plat 5 easy. The main part of what still made me bad with the pick was : - not warding properly and dying to ganks - no picking teleport - no good positionning and focus in tf - trying to hard on solo kills on bad timings
I am a 3-year GrandMaster Player with Brand Top. Such an amazing and unexpected pick. Recently got out of 13 game winstreak (I had the most damage in my team in almost all of them)
I also starting play from season3 mid only with Brand and bought Rylai as the 1st or 2nd item to show from afar with Q, forcing enemies to run away. I like to play with the barrier instead of buying Zhonya. Always CDR boots and runes, because constant aggressive play requires more than 40 Ability Haste beyond middle of the game. First max Q/W/E depending on the line and setup. For example you need to max E first when you play against Yasuo on the line. The most Brand counter of all time is Zed, because after lvl 6 he pushing you and went roaming. Fizz/Annie/Leblanc also hard. Brand useless in games vs no tank enemies, ideally there should be 2 frontliners and then the game will automatically win after 40minute
Just proves that champion mastery ia always more worth than playing what's meta constantly. High rank one tricks are literally better than pro players on their specific champion.
The support role is all about being useful on the lowest income in the game and there are many ways to go about doing this, not just by playing a traditional support. Brand happens to be a champ that can still do top damage while a full item behind in the lowest income role. Is he a support? Nope. But, he completely works in the lowest income role. And that's why he will continue to be picked there.
@@DisastrousIntentionally exactly! 12:20 hits nail on the head, Brand only really needs Rylais to be useful, a support can get that item so so so easily. so it makes sense for Brand to be in the support role, then if the game goes late game you have a full build mage that provides utility and shit tonnes of tank killing dmg, which no other support can contend with.
He's in support role because of pick rate, not because he's actual support. The role recommendation thing is not set by Riot, it's an algorithm that decides the main role of a champ based on total pick rate. Olaf is a good example back when he was S+ meta in both top and jungle after his gameplay update, till they kneecapped his jungling at the end of last year. Olaf could be in top laner tab in 1 game, then randomly appear in jungler tab instead when you play a 2nd game. This was because Olaf had a 20+% ban rate and fluctuated between 43%-47% pick rate for both jungle and top lane. Brand is in support tab exactly because his pick rate for support exceeds mid lane. Brand only need 2 items to become a menace and make team fights dangerous, plus it satisfies the autofilled support's fantasy of being a carry in support role. There's a reason you don't see any actual support mains play Brand, yet Brand have such a high pick rate in support. If you want to find someone to blame, blame the carry role players who immediately go for Brand whenever they get autofilled support.

Crazy to realise brand mid is considered off-meta, in my eyes he has always been and still is a midlaner. Same for xerath and lux tbh.

As someone who has mained brand since 2014 i really like this video.
PSA: There are multiple species of bees that need our help. Honey bees are the ones that have been getting all the attention (almost too much).
They work with all bees 👍
8:49 why did you put subway surfers gameplay in your video 😂
Maxing E is not considered unusual by any means. R>W>E>Q is literally the most common skillpath on Brand
Gigachad challenger advocates for the bees
6:55 that was a nice e from challenger kha
Quick little tip, you can q into e and still get the stun, very hard to predict.
You just need to be in range for your E, usually by flashing
what a chad! plays wholesome offmeta and fights for bees and butterflies
Bro the subtle jokes in this video are hilarious - that subway surfers part got me 💀
Another quick tip is u can press Q then E for an instant stun. That’s if u close enough

The role recommendation thing is not set by Riot, it's an algorithm that decides the main role of a champ based on total pick rate. Olaf is a good example back when he was S+ meta in both top and jungle after his gameplay update, till they kneecapped his jungling at the end of last year. Olaf could be in top laner tab in 1 game, then randomly appear in jungler tab instead when you play a 2nd game. This was because Olaf had a 20+% ban rate and fluctuated between 43%-47% pick rate for both jungle and top lane. Brand is in support tab exactly because his pick rate for support exceeds mid lane. Brand only need 2 items to become a menace and make team fights dangerous, plus it satisfies the autofilled support's fantasy of being a carry in support role. There's a reason you don't see any actual support mains play Brand, yet Brand have such a high pick rate in support. If you want to find someone to blame, blame the carry role players who immediately go for Brand whenever they get autofilled support.
