Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next 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 Mid games. The hardest matchups this patch are Malzahar (44.4% win rate for Brand) and Ahri (45.7% win rate for Brand): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in.
