You can do only lane ganks or if the lane is pushed a lot, both happens rarely early game and cannot be compared to going straight into the enemy with reliable gap closer. 3) almost no presence on the map without ulti (this goes into its worst state if your team is losing and the other team groups up to push, you are 110% useless without ulti on) 4) Counter jungling - Rengar can't counter jungle any tier 1 (even tier 2) jungles any longer. He is very vulnerable to counter jungling. PROS: 1) Fun to play 2) If everything goes well - you can carry :-) | ||

People thought KT Bullets got their shit figured out after IEM, but it turned out that they only looked good at IEM because they were crushing garbage teams. As soon as they went back to Korea they looked just as mediocre as ever because they were back to playing teams that didn't suck. Is one tournament sample size enough? | ||

What you want from supports is typically either hard engage/pick potential or Phreak's solution to everything: tons of damage. I see Braum as a great peeler without much damage a la Janna and she doesn't fit into the meta anymore either. I don't necessarily think he's bad, just with how the game is played he's not quite bringing to the table what you expect from supports. Not until adcs start going for lategame and it's not Lucian/Cait every game bot then maybe he'll be able to showcase those manly muscles and that chiselled 'stache... or his chiseled muscles and his manly 'stache. I am main supporting and actually was trying to think how match ups will work bot lane with Braum and could not think of situation where his skills can turn a lane or game in favor, he feels something like more useful taric, meaning he is all right does his stuff, but doesn;t have what it takes to make plays to lean the game to your direction. If the team is doing fine he can blend, if not, not much he can do to change it. p.s. Actually the unique thing I can think about Braum is that in team fights he can literally block anyone who wants to jump on the adc (or other priority target) and you cannot go around him, all other supports that are good at peeling, they are good at peeling but if they miss or more people dive they can only peel so much, while you need to go over Braum first if he wants to protect someone and this may prove significant who knows  | ||

You know what though? The Braum Taric duo lane will be ultra manly. Taric stuns and walks up to a guy, Braum jumps to him which gives Taric armor, thereby increasing his armor aura + Show Spoiler + which increases Braums armor aura, which increases Tarics armor aura, which increases Braums armor aura Manliest of lanes. Great success. | ||

Great success. AActually, I think Braum will work better with Leona who has an actual gapcloser. When Leona goes in, Braum can just piggyback with his W, E up, then Q/auto. Leona's Q should buy enough time for a Braum passive stun, while Braum will keep both of them safe. | ||
