Braum seems to be getting rather outclassed by other tanks

Maybe i'm just bad, idk, but it seems braums been gettig outclassed recently. Hes a great support, love everything about him, but with all these new champs and the current meta, he seems to be falling off. I'm not asking for buffs, but I've noticed so many champs have %damage reduction and how their damage reduction seems alot better(though ik braums does block projectiles) your thoughts?

Braum is not outclassed by any means. He just requires that the ally adc actually auto the person who they passived enemies 2-3 times....... So champions like Jhin and Graves are bad synergy with him. Braum does best with champions like Lucian and Ezreal who have ways to proc it and stick to the enemy easier due to dashes....... However some really hard counters for him would be Morgana and Zyra, which are normally gotten because of how much versatility they have and use.

He's also the best diving buddy you could ever wish for.

Braum was never meant to be a super tank like alistar. He's meant to buff others durability and counter divers

Braum's damage reduction applies when he activates his E. It's like 30 - 40 percent for a few seconds, if I remember right.

He's not bad at all. He's a great counterpick to certain champions that rely on projectiles to deal damage (Twitch, Jayce, Nidalee, Varus). Issue is none of these champions are meta. He's already immediately a worse pick, since he's not counterpicking. Another issue is that his counterpicks (poke/sustain bot lane) are very popular. He's best into other Wardens / Vanguards, which are not popular in NA.

Plus then you get those Jhins that lock in even when you have already picked Braum..... Like they are wanting to lose lane lol, Braum is similar to Nami in that they are massively reliant on team play, they can apply a bit of poke and pressure by themselves but if the ADC doesnt synergize with them then things go south fast. Nami becomes barely more than a Soraka, and Braum may as well be a fly on the wall that just is a constant annoyance that you cant seem to kill.
