How to beat Braum

Common role: Support

A wall-of-a-tank support who blocks projectiles and stuns with stacked hits.

What makes Braum dangerous

Braum's passive stuns after a few stacked hits (allies proc it with him), and his shield (E) blocks a projectile and reduces damage from that direction — negating poke and skillshots for his team. His ultimate slams the ground for a knock-up line, and his Q pokes and slows. He's a durable peel tank that protects his carry and disrupts engages.

How to play against Braum

• 1His E shield blocks projectiles and the first hit for allies behind it — don't waste key skillshots into it. Angle around or bait it.
• 2Watch his passive stacks — a few hits (his or allies') stun you. Don't let him and his ADC stack the proc on you.
• 3Dodge his ult (R) — it's a knock-up line along the ground. Sidestep it to avoid the airborne setup.
• 4Low personal damage — kite him and focus his carry, whom he peels. Poke him and his carry from range around his shield.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓E shield only covers one direction — angle around it.
• ✓Passive stun needs stacked hits to build.
• ✓Ult is a dodgeable line.
• ✓Low personal damage — a peel tank.
