Brand Bot meta analysis (Patch 26.17)

Brand holds a 53.7% win rate in the Bot role on Patch 26.17, 1.4 points above the Bot role average of 52.3%. That is the 9th highest win rate of 42 Bot champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch. With a 0.7% pick rate (38th most played in the role) and a 3.4% ban rate, Brand rarely gets banned, so the pick is almost always available in champion select.

Brand Bot slipped from A to B tier in Patch 26.17. A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At B tier, Brand works best as a counter pick or comfort pick rather than a blind pick.

Champion select decides a lot of Brand Bot games. The hardest matchups this patch are Lucian (48.4% win rate for Brand) and Yunara (48.8% win rate for Brand): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Caitlyn (58.5%) and Tristana (54.3%) are the matchups to look for, where Brand wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
