Bruiser Braum Support?
I know there's been a few threads on this already but they all seem to be based around the time he came out so they're quite dated.
Anyway's I've been playing Braum a lot recently and I've realised that Face of the Mountain, straight into Frozen Mallet (especially with the changes in 6.18 it's very good) after Sightstone is pretty much always a very good build on him. After this point I'd usually go Randuins/Locket etc etc normal tank stuff but I've experimented with a couple of other items which I've found to be very interesting. I also use Grasp of the Undying on him just for funsies because honestly Bond of Stone is boring.
One is Zz'rot Portal which works decently for the most part, you get some decent resistances to scale your W up and an extremely useful passive/active on the item, only thing is that it doesn't have health but its good if you need to split push and/or have some lane pressure. I'll usually get it if I'm behind.
Another is Warmog's (tend to use with the portal) just because of how well the item scales with Face of the Mountain, the portal and Braum's Q and obviously the passive is alright for the most part on this too. This is a good item if you're needing sustain due to sieging at the other side of the map constantly/not really wanting to go back.
I also recently tested Titanic Hydra on him as well along with warmogs, frozen mallet and sightstone/face and whilst I was admittedly ahead, I managed to get 4000 health and a decent amount of damage coming out of me, and at this point in the game I could quite comfortably 1v1 a Wukong and a Zed at about 30 mins in.
So what I'm wondering now is if anyone else has tried any bruiserish items on Braum and/or what I should try next, or if a full on Bruiser build on Braum would actually work.
I should probably mention that I'm high silver/low gold territory as well so that probably has a lot to do with it.
TL;DR- Has anyone actually tried any type of Tanky Bruiser build on Braum recently and what are your thoughts on this.
