Nice finally some1 who takes brand seriously and has fun with it. I play him a lot in mid, but I've never found somebody talking about it who isn't just random-guessing how to play it, and actually specializes in this style. Defo gonna explore Riftmaker on him more and start running ghost again. I used to try this but I talked myself out of it.
hey man u got this, ive always wanted someone to make a brand mid guide but no one has. When I first started off I would look for them and it pissed me off so I had to learn through trial by fire. Get gold this season my dudester
I got to emerald last season as a brand mid one trick. But this season I’ve been struggling, so I took a break, but this is inspiring me to get back into the game. I feel this is the first of its kind so thanks for the constant knowledge
ofcourse man, its natural to feel burned out when you feel like you aren't improving. I feel that way sometimes but I think having a healthy relationship with the game is important. What helped me climb from diamond to masters was just focusing on mastering each matchup and doing my job. I used to roam too much and avoid the 1v1 a lot bc brand is a "team fight champ" when really I was scared. Try writing notes on what you can improve on, little by little thats what I did and the knowledge is now in my subconscious
Played my first game since this comment, flash ghost and comet is a game changer honestly. Ghost saved my ass so many times. I went rift maker second item which also somehow kept me alive a lot????
I absolutely love your passion and the video covers the champion well to be the most staple of all of the brand information i've scouted and devoured online. THANK YOU, IM COMIN!.
tbh I love it for the safety in lane. You can alternate between both cooldowns the entire laning phase and play aggressive while also being unkillable. If there is a nocturne on the enemy team, ghost is a must It just lacks the damage of ignite and the forgivability of tp if you do manage to die.
Congrats on Diamond, I remember a yr ago when I popped off for it. Rn im testing out rylais approach velocity and seeing when I can fit that into my games
I'm not a brand player, did I watch whole video? Yes I did, did I learned something? Also yes. But fr tho, I'm a Quinn mid player and this guide was so helpful even tho I don't play brand, especially the match ups and the side laning parts.
@@BlueFireDudester I can say the same to u lol, although I hate brand I can respect ur grind to make brand mid work, even tho he's way better support and even jungle now.
i'm just givin the guide my past self would've loved. I had to learn through failure bc there are no brand mid guides. If that means I lose my competetive edge, so be it. I will be rank 1 regardless.
You think they should rework brand? Personally I be thinkin, I would give away the 3 hit circle passive for more damage on my ability. Think about orianna Annie, and especially ahri, why do they have move speed boost on e. In league of dashes and damage, I want casting e to give a move speed boost and/or a shield. If brand is meant to be a support make e castable on allies like Annie can, choose between dealing damage or supporting.
id prefer to keep brand the same imo. I have too much muscle memory. If they change him I still want him to be high risk, high reward for the dopamine rusb of landing 3 spells
Checking your opgg now it looks like you are building void staff and stormsurge third item. It seems like others are going shadowflame or zhonyas third. What is your reason for going the void and surge?
when i decide on a runepage i all in on it usually, like if im going dh i go full pen. I dont like ss anymore tbh. If i go approach vel im gonna go rylais 1st or 2nd
Another thing. I stopped going transcendence. I go celerity and the 2% move speed lil rune. With that, no boots it’s a 10 move speed buff. When you get sorcerer shoes you have 400 move speed. Plus celerity effects ghost. Try it a few games
ye i might try it sometime, I think scorch is mandatory so aslong as u have it everything else in the sorcery tree is whatever. Comet is just rly good rn. I forgot to add in my guide, I think phase rush is mandatory in some matchups that can slow you: Nasus, Tyndamere, Gwen and Olaf. Otherwise u die in lane so easily
Who do you ban. If I’m mid, akali. If I’m apc, jhin What’s your least favorite matchup/ category? I hate a good syndra, ziggs, or a really good karma is aggravating.
my perma ban is fizz, I hate that champ. It used to be yasuo but hes not as cringe as fizz I agree, I hate those matchups but ziggs seems winnable, just bait his q by standing near the minions. I love fighting sylas or katarina mid and I HATE having a bard or alistar on my team. Bard always ults at the same time as me and ali always saves the enemy its so cringe
What about scaling and power spikes? are his power spikes just first item and 6? and can he scale by just keeping up farm or do you need kills/assists?
@@BlueFireDudester E cd decreases by 4 (12-8) while W decreases by 2 (10-8), if you hit 2 or more with E it does more than W in teamfight. Also your E Q will be up before W Q for 2nd round of stun earlier Just my cook i dont have enough games to be sure
W or E is fine, based on preference and matchup. Theres another high elo brand who starts Q every game. I take W every game unless im against a Katarina then I start E > Q > W
One last thing, I’ve been told that the reason I’m gaining so little lp but loosing so much lp is because I’m to high of a rank based on what the game thinks I should be. Is there a way to make the game think the rank I’m in is where I belong,l. I also do decent every match and have a 60% win rate
@@Yozox1 you're focusing too much on the result and lp. Wins come from consistently winning lane because 90% of the games outcome is decided by the early game. If you master your matchups you wont even have to worry about lp. Focusing on instant gratification like meta, mmr, lp gains wont get you far my dudester
i wonder if u possibly think its better to just put 1 less point in W isntead of sellin the dorans ring. the Dring gives u a good chunk of hp and a ton of mana sustain. idk how much u really need it i havent played this ( yet ) but i feel like for me personally ( some1 who doesnt sell his doran item untill i have to sell it for my final item ) id rather just put an extra point in E instead of W if one hitting the way is a problem
@@BlueFireDudester let me know ur results on that one, I will probably be giving this whole setup a few tries aswell. Always been a big adc brand enjoyer and played him a few games mid aswell
tyvm i like how you explain things in plain language that is understandable to new players
ay no problem my man
Missed an opportunity to call it the "brand aid"

ill make an updated guide soon, I dont really like riftmaker anymore. Id say BFTorch first item is almost mandatory this split
ive been waiting for a video like this to drop and it finally did! I appreciate it. Going to follow this guide see if i can get to gold

@@owaisis93 nice man, ye ghost and flash give us more room to play aggressive. I just like the burn damage increase of liandry riftmaker
I absolutely love your passion and the video covers the champion well to be the most staple of all of the brand information i've scouted and devoured online. THANK YOU, IM COMIN!.
ghost flash combo seems very good pressure tool, but it is hard to justified value when u realize u are using 2 relic /active slots for it
tbh I love it for the safety in lane. You can alternate between both cooldowns the entire laning phase and play aggressive while also being unkillable. If there is a nocturne on the enemy team, ghost is a must

Thank you so much man, I've been wanting a good brand mid guide for as long as I remember, and you mad my wish come true thank you💪🏻
fr man, ive been looking for a guide for the longest time but no one made one. Only clickbait videos. Hope it helps
Thank you for the guide, was stuck in Emerald, started doing your standard build and im on Diamond already!
Congrats on Diamond, I remember a yr ago when I popped off for it. Rn im testing out rylais approach velocity and seeing when I can fit that into my games

But fr tho, I'm a Quinn mid player and this guide was so helpful even tho I don't play brand, especially the match ups and the side laning parts.
aye glad it applied to you too man. Although i hate quinn i respect off meta players 🤝
@@BlueFireDudester I can say the same to u lol, although I hate brand I can respect ur grind to make brand mid work, even tho he's way better support and even jungle now.
@@dmito01 bahahha thats fair, brand jungle is so aids broken I dont blame ppl for hating brand even more now. Gl on ur climb my dudester
Thank you so much I want to be a brand player like the good old days
I love playing brand mid, its so relaxing and I love the fire sounds
Dudester. You are a fucking G. I love how you are sharing your playbook and tellin everybody.. "Come at me!"
i'm just givin the guide my past self would've loved. I had to learn through failure bc there are no brand mid guides. If that means I lose my competetive edge, so be it. I will be rank 1 regardless.
This what all guides sould be like gj bro
ty bro, i go different items now tho. I'll prolly make another guide when im challenger in like 2yrs
Thank you for the guide! Surprised you don't have more subscribers 😢
glad I helped. Im sure I can get 1k subs this year
Great Job on the guide Blue
ay thanks eddy
Bro this is great, just wanna give a tip that the background music is too loud and gives my adhd brain difficulty staying focused.
Good video bro, I used to play Brand a lot when I started League.
Here before 300 Subs!!!! lets get it gang great video
just got off work, thanks my dudester. ayy just hit 300 today 🔥
Instructions unclear, enemy katarina bought kaenic roocern! Still oneshots whole team
cringe champ and cringe item :/
very interesting video thanks
nice one, brand mid is FIRE
Your a legend brother
no prob my dudester
Awesome work dude
thanks dudester, hope it helps

bro actually dropped this

what are some times you would go dh instead or arcane comet
dh into squishies or an afk lane like veigar where there is no point to staying in lane
comet is the default safer pick
bro is actually him
Who do you ban. If I’m mid, akali. If I’m apc, jhin

Next guide: How to play league with one eye
Cant we use aery? We can triple proc it with brand, and its really great for 1v1s
hey, i knew it was an acceptable pick
acceptable or not, who I play isn't defined by a meta
What about scaling and power spikes? are his power spikes just first item and 6? and can he scale by just keeping up farm or do you need kills/assists?
im an E max enjoyer mid, am i boosted? hitting E is a lot more reliable and safe after W minions imo
E max is not too bad, its just that outside of lane its gonna be hard to teamfight cause ur W CD will be so long
@@BlueFireDudester E cd decreases by 4 (12-8) while W decreases by 2 (10-8), if you hit 2 or more with E it does more than W in teamfight.
Also your E Q will be up before W Q for 2nd round of stun earlier
Just my cook i dont have enough games to be sure
@@dumpsterplayer2700 you know what, you might be onto something. Imma try maxing E first
brand mid: because why just pick ori syndra
If I invade with my team, should I still take my w or should I take my e for multiple target hit?
W or E is fine, based on preference and matchup. Theres another high elo brand who starts Q every game.
I take W every game unless im against a Katarina then I start E > Q > W

Can we get a full gameplay like 1 or 2 with the season 14?
hmm, I used to do full gameplay vids but I felt I was being lazy so I stopped. Maybe on a different channel when I get bigger someday
No deathcap?
deathcap last item is ok if im going DH, i just prefer rylais last item bc being slowed lategame is a death sentence
