Introduction
Hi everyone, I'm Kmva, a Plat V support main who has played over 1000 ranked support games in season 5 climbing from Bronze V to Platinum V. I've been playing since Braum's release in May 2014. I played some ranked in season 4 but ended in Bronze.
Braum is one of my best supports and fits the role exceedingly well due to his massive slows and great peeling.

Use of ultimate 
in a team fight.
- I used my ult here in a narrow area making it easy to slow the enemy team. Your ult can also interrupt dashes like I did to Poppy at the beginning. I hit my 
a few times for my team to proc 
. By the time Jinx used her 
I was able to block it with 
it's important for her to not get a kill or assist or her passive will allow her to get away. I gave Ekko one more and 
and my team finished him off from there.
- Having an 
mid works great with Braum because her 
is great engage and stuns the enemy giving you time to jump
to the and use on the stunned enemies. Great synergy 10/10.
- It's important to peel for your carry, it's a support's NUMBER ONE priority. A good carry puts out a lot of DPS and if your carry isn't alive you aren't doing much damage. Lucian did a good job of not getting hit by 
's ult
but since he used 
he is vulnerable to assassins such as 
. Though we weren't able to save 
he enabled me to use to make a big engage!

I like upgrading my early to 
on Braum specifically because it grants you more health.
Level 9 be sure to upgrade your sweeper to 
.
If the enemy team has a lot of poke or a fed AP carry I suggest getting 
next.
Then finish the 
next.
When the enemy team has little escape/squishy I like getting 
if we are ahead and have strong team fight advantage.
Be sure to buy 
if the enemy team has invisible champions as isn't as reliable at that anymore.

Alistar
Hard
You can use 
to harass early level but he'll just 
heal it back.
Be cautious of his 
combo, use 
on a minion or your adc to escape or re-enage while his abilities are on cooldown depending how healthy you and your adc are.

removes all cc effects on him and makes him nearly unkillable.

Annie
Hard
I would say this is a pretty hard lane. She can 
a lot for poke. Save your 
for when they engage as this ability is important but has a long cooldown.
Be on your feet for her flash 
at 6.
at 6.VS
Ashe
Medium
Blocks a lot of her abilities and she lacks escape so don't be afraid to jump on her.
VS
Bard
Medium
This is more of a skill matchup. You have to know when to use .
He has many slows and don't bunch up with your adc a double stun from his 
gives them a lot of free damage on you guys.

he might have someone with him!VS
Blitzcrank
Easy
Easy lane, if he 
you just go on the enemy adc unless you're under their tower.
VS
Brand
Hard
Brand has good poke it's just a really hard lane, your abilites don't do much against him except slowing him down.
Just play safe in this lane, wait for ganks as he has no mobility.
VS
Caitlyn
Easy
Your blocks many of her abilities, she does have escape so try to bait it out then go on her when 
is down.
Blocks 
VS
Ezreal
Easy
This is basically the same as Ezreal. Many blockable projectiles and blocks his 
. Bait out his 
and go on him.
VS
Janna
Medium
You will probably never kill this lane as Janna has so much disengage. Her
can interrupt your . Kind of hard lane but not impossible.
VS
Jinx
Easy
Soak up her 
damage with , be sure to block her 
with .
VS
Kalista
Medium
Depending on how good the Kalista is and the enemy support. This lane has always felt kind of hard to me. Your is good against her because it slows her attack speed and cuts her mobility. Don't get too many 
stacks in you!
VS
Karma
Hard
She can poke with 
, stop your engage with 
, and speed up her adc with 
. Hard lane.
VS
Leona
Easy
Leona just throws herself out there with no escape so once her combo 
is done she's just used for tanking damage.
VS
Lucian
Hard
goes through .
he has escape. can block 
.Not a very good lane for Braum.
VS
Lulu
Hard
She can poke with 
and has a polymorph
. Lulu's kit is far too good for Braum to compete here.
Play safe and wait for ganks.
VS
Lux
Hard
Not often played in the support role but she has good poke and 
pierces . No matter how many times I try to block it..
VS
Miss Fortune
Medium
Miss Fortune has no escape making her a fragile target but she is capable of dealing a lot of damage. Late game in a teamfight you can block most of her 
with . Just stand in front of your team and tank the damage with .
VS
Morgana
Hard
Super hard lane, 
blocks almost all of your abilities. If timed right, can stop the stun from 
.
Play safe here.
VS
Nami
Hard
Nami is a lane bully and can poke you out. She can also heal the damage by using 
. Don't fight here unless you absolutely have to or your jungler is ganking for you.
and 
can stop your .VS
Nautilus
Easy
Anything with a hook is bad against Braum. If you hook Braum you're basically asking to die. This should be an easy game.
VS
Sona
Hard
She can poke with 
and heal damage with 
.
Hard lane.
You can block 
with 
but that's about it.
with but that's about it.Play safe here.
VS
Soraka
Medium
Soraka is totally broken right now (patch 5.24) but Braum actually does fairy well against her. If she is out of position try and her and stack the it could very well end up in a kill if you and your carry both focus the Soraka.
Does not remove grievous wounds anymore so you could 
here if you please.VS
Tahm Kench
Medium
Tahm Kench and Braum are fairy similar actually. When you're stacking he can 
his carry to safety which is pretty annoying. and 
can both be used for poke but hitting him with it results in him getting health back due to the passive of 
.
VS
Thresh
Easy
Thresh is a very good support typically but Braum does well against him in an all in situation, which is what Thresh specializes in with 
. Go aggressive in this lane.
VS
Tristana
Hard
I would say this is a hard lane. You can negate her damage but she's very strong against you and has decent range and a huge escape that resets off kill or assist or getting a fully charged 
.
VS
Trundle
Medium
Treat this lane like you would with 
. Don't hit him with , be cautious of 
as it can stop your .
VS
Twitch
Easy
Very easy, Twitch is very fragile and only has 
for escape and weak peel 
. Stand in front of your team with when he uses 
. Getting a stun proc off usually results in a dead Twitch.
VS
Varus
Easy
Pretty easy lane. Use to block 
. He has no escapes and little peel 
. Depending on the enemy support this should be a simple lane.
VS
Vayne
Hard
Vayne is hard because she can 
away from your and she is a tank buster. Meaning she does a lot of damage to people with a lot of health with 
. Stay away from walls as she can pin you 
against one, stunning you for extra damage. If she gets out of position and you manage to land a jump on her.
VS
Zilean
Hard
Poke
, a stun,
and a speed up
. Zilean can prove to be a hard lane.
If you think you killed him or the enemy adc, you probably didn't 
.
.Stay safe and try to avoid being hit by 
.
.VS
Zyra
Hard
Though she isn't played much, hard lane due to her poke, she will zone you out and her 
can block your
