Brand B tier

Once a tribesman of the icy Freljord named Kegan Rodhe, the creature known as Brand is a lesson in the temptation of greater power. Seeking one of the legendary World Runes, Kegan betrayed his companions and seized it for himself—and, in an instant, the man was no more. His soul burned away, his body a vessel of living flame, Brand now roams Valoran in search of other Runes, swearing revenge for wrongs he could never possibly have suffered in a dozen mortal lifetimes.

This pattern suggests that Brand may be more accessible for newer players while facing increased difficulty against higher-skilled opponents. In Iron tier, Brand achieves a 54.4% win rate, which gradually declines to 47.3% in Diamond. This trend often indicates that Brand's strengths can be more effectively countered by experienced players who understand the champion's weaknesses and trading patterns.
