Did Something Happen to Braum?

I've been playing Braum as my main for quite a few months now, and everything was going swimmingly. I would almost always dominate the other ADC and Support and would be a major contribution to the team late game. However, since the preseason update has come out, I've been feeding like crazy (unintentionally, of course). The removal of mana pots made Braum's early game difficult, but I got around that by learning to conserve my mana. Now it just seems that I die much quicker than I used to before the update against any ADC or support combo. It almost feels as if every champion's health goes down slower for some reason, as if Riot removed all of Braum's armor in secret or something (obviously not the case though :P). If anyone has an idea why this could be I would really appreciate it! I don't think that I've just been sucking because I've been playing mostly the same as I always do. So, I'd be grateful for any responses ^-^

Honestly Braum isn't even that mana hungry, if he is then you're playing him wrong.

Either that or you forgot your masteries.

It's probably less about Braum and more about the ADC's.

I just played braum and did really well actually item 2032 allows him to trade a LOT

Tanky supports are not good right now. Some balance patches and things will be better. For now I suggest supports that have better engage/disengage ability (a hard stun or snare preferred). I also suggest a small amount of Mana regen in runes (I get 2.4 mana/5 personally) to keep your mana up for spells.

I appreciate the advice! I guess I'll just have to lay off my dearest Braum for a while :(

Adc are a lot stronger at every stage of the game as the new masteries and items heavily favored them while the defensive masteries and items have gotten worse

did you remember to update your masteries, as pointed out by fioratheexplorer.

because the system is entirely new, the old saved masteries kept their names but erased all changes in place of the new system

although, it does seem like riot skimped on the tank masteries a bit compared to offense and utility
