TOP 5 BRAUM SUPPORT COUNTERS

Braum is a durable, crowd control-heavy support who thrives in close-range skirmishes and frontlining for his ADC. With his Unbreakable (E) shield, reliable passive stun, and strong all-in potential with Glacial Fissure (R), Braum can dominate melee trades and protect his carries in teamfights. However, Braum’s weaknesses lie in his limited range, reliance on engaging up close, and predictable initiation patterns.

The following five support champions counter Braum by poking from a distance, disrupting his engages, or out-scaling his utility with superior mobility, disengage, or zoning. Whether you're looking to punish Braum in lane or neutralize his impact in teamfights, these picks are designed to keep him on the back foot.
