Vladimir vs Brand Matchup Summary

The Vladimir vs Brand matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 48 recent matches analyzed, Vladimir wins with a 58.3% win rate compared to Brand's 41.7%, giving Vladimir a 16.7 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Brand controls the early laning stage, but Vladimir outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Brand needs to press advantages before Vladimir reaches their power spikes, while Vladimir should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Brand leads by 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vladimir players can confidently pick into Brand and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Brand away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Utility
0.2Vladimir
1.0Brand
Brand brings significantly more crowd control than Vladimir, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Brand far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,776Vladimir
416Brand

During the early laning phase (first 15 minutes), Brand has a meaningful 52.0% win rate, outperforming Vladimir by 4.0 percentage points. Brand players should look to press this advantage through aggressive trades, wave priority, and early jungle coordination.

Vladimir is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 69.6% win rate — 39.1 points above Brand. Extended games heavily favor Vladimir, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Brand must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Vladimir reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Vladimir survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
