How to face a brand bot lane as an enchanter or a tank support?

Title. I have decided that I will be permabanning Darius now because no one in low elo understands how to face him in lane without feeding at least 5 kills, so I'd like to at least learn how to face my other ban (brand) in lane most effectively.

Blitzcrank is really good against brand

As much as this is a meme the real answer is you don’t.

Brand will out trade every single enchanter and tank support given if he lands his full combo, your main goal is to just chill and wait until he misses or waste a spell then go in for a short trade or if possible an all in.

Since they buffed his passive it’s pretty hard to play against him in lane and sometimes you just have to take a dicking until your jungler bails you out.

I think as tank support you'd ask your jungler for 1-2 early ganks and all in him immediately. Brand is super squishy and super immobile so you can shut him down rather easily as long as you can survive through his combo. If you get ahead this way, you can start to all in him without ganks.

As enchanter it's more trickier and he'd not be my nemesis if I had good solutions for them.

Braum is the best tank to probably pick vs. Brand, the laning phase will suck but you will have much more impact in fights and can completely deny his ultimate and stun on your ally.

In lane it's just about waiting for him to misposition and tag him with q. depending on the adcarries it can lead to an easy all in.

and as with all poke lanes, sustain is everything so id start relic/refillable to maximize gold efficiency and offer some sustain to yourself.

that's the basics of it IMO.

Play passive until you got level 6 or locket. Use everything you have. Ignite is a must.
