Braum dashes to the target ally, positioning himself between them and the closest enemy champion, gaining bonus armor and bonus magic resistance for 3 seconds. If his target is a champion, they also receive the same bonuses.

The obvious way to implement this ability is for raising defense in tough fights or to set up for quick retreats. However, it's important to realize this ability isn't always about defense — it can help offensively as well. This ability can help Braum suddenly be in the thick of battle while buffing teammates for some serious ambush potent

Brand isn't exactly a popular champion these days; no one reaches for the firestarter for ranked play. His skillset takes some learning and specific itemization or matchups to fully utilize. But this legacy skin pushed Brand toward the top tier for a hot min

Stridebreaker dashes the user forward 300 units, dealing damage in an AoE that also applies a significant slow. For bruisers and juggernauts, this item active is a blessing from the heavens. They gain an extra gap closer and a free slow to stick on their targets. Combos are made easier to execute and ranged toplaners finally have to play the lane instead of cheating it. It might even be too powerful at the time of writing, but that remains to be s

Players that want to rank up and be the best in League of Legends need to know how to get the most out of their champion's abilities. Braum can make an excellent ADC or support character depending on which way players want to go. If players know how to use all of his abilities, he becomes quite the beast on the battlefi

If you thought the jungler was the only person in the game who could gank lanes, you’d be sorely mistaken. The mid lane’s convenience is the ability to help other lanes in desperate need, and coordinating with the jungler can lead to many other ki

Nearly every world atlas League of Legends player is familiar with the central mid lane of Summoner’s Rift, an area usually designated for sorcerers and speedy assassins. This area is extremely fast-paced, with minions coming quicker than any other lane and with some of the highest-damage champions crowding aro

Canadas went on to explain that I should think of the game in terms of a mathematical give-and-take system of points. He noted how I should continuously note damage dealt versus damage sustained, and this should impact my decisions to push or withd

If a group fight starts off with Glacial Fissure hitting most of the enemy team they can kiss their sorry butts goodbye. This is why this ability has a long casting time in general. Players need to be absolutely sure this move works but when it does, it can make engaging the enemy a bre

With a large rework to the item system planned for the next year of League of Legends , many particular items have been quite problematic for the past few months. Certain weapons are inherently more interesting or powerful than others, leading to a huge degree of similar builds between entirely different champi

This one just has so much panache and detail work to it. And no one can deny the romantic idea behind a cowboy samurai. His animations are also just really smooth; plus, his sword becomes a gun. Know what's cooler than a sword? A gun-sword. At least, that's what Squall Leonhart would have people beli

It features entirely new effects and emotes, as well as the dance from Michael Jackson's iconic video for "Thriller". Despite Brand's lower-tier standing, this skin is a fun one to bust out for ARAMs or normal matches with frie

The honor system in League of Legends is certainly well-meaning, but hardly an effective deterrent from negative players. Voting for your favorite player gives hardly any benefit, and most players are likely to give honor to the player with the highest KDA ra

Braum propels ice from his shield in the target direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 70% decaying over 2 seconds.

Look at just how much enemies get slowed! Landing Winter's Bite can be the difference between a successful ambush on the enemy or an opponent getting away. It's an amazing way to force the opposing team to turn around and fight a questionable battle because their retreat has become likely impossi

If you’ve never played the ARAM game mode on the Howling Abyss, this Reddit meme is a great visualization of what it’s like. The hallway is still certainly more complex and competitive in the standard Summoner’s Rift, but it’s easy for the lane to turn into a vivid and destructive battlefie

For the most part, it’s fairly hard to believe when someone claims to be smurfing, meaning they claim to be playing on a lower ranked account than their normal one. These claims are nearly impossible to verify, and even a victorious game can hardly dictate whether they're telling the tr

This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every few seconds, but during this immunity period affected targets instead take 20% of the trigger damage as bonus magic damage from Braum 's basic attacks and Winter's B
