On-Hit Braum Top Season 14

By LeBoof
Introduction
Good ephening, my name is LeBoof (or Leboof_BeLoof on Twitch) and welcome to my guide to On-Hit Braum Top for Season 14.

I have been playing Braum since I started playing league back in Season 11. I initially played him in support until I got bored of the Bot-Lane toil and took him to top lane where I experimented with builds until I found that he is an ungodly powerful melee on-hit champion with a surprising amount of durability without tank items.
Why Braum Top?
Braum is a highly underappreciated champion that is also extremely simple to play as and fight against. However, a good Braum can be the sole reason why a fight was won, an objective taken, or even decide the fate of a match. This does not just pertain to his support presence, this also extends far into top-lane.

When in top-lane, Braum is able to go all-out. As in the support role, you not only play, but also build for your team or your ADC; in top-lane, that is not the case. In top-lane, Braum is able to use the full extent of his kit to become a truly horrific monster of a fighter.
Why On-Hit?
Like aforementioned, Braum doesn't scale at all. 0 AD scaling, 2.5% max hp scaling on Q, and 60% ap scaling on Ult. Even if you're behind in levels, as long as you have at least 1 finished item, you can still bring your lane back under control. However, once you have Guinsoo after you buy BoRK, you are virtually impossible to kill solo. What's more is that unless you're facing a good Teemo, Nasus, or another high-value disabler champion, you cannot be beaten in a fight so long as you are FIGHTING.
How It Plays
If you have played Braum before--likely in support--you'll have the muscle memory to wait for a sign to engage or retaliate; however, Braum top is different. YOU have to be the first to make a move, otherwise you will be caught in a cycle of counter-attacking instead of being able to go on the offensive.

The best way to engage with Braum top is to pull back and give your opponent room to move into your wave, then jump to the furthest minion into the lane and start pummeling your opponent.

Example: Garen is sitting behind his wave defensively, you pull back a good few steps behind your own wave and let him push a bit. Then, you use your W to jump to a minion BEHIND Garen and now you have not only engaged, but also cut off his escape.

Lastly, you need to sit in your lane, you are a 1-man siege engine that needs to steamroll top lane so your team--especially your jungler--can focus on taking objectives. Make sure to inform your team to not gank you and try to guide them as best you can.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- strong melee champ that doesn't need to worry about ability scaling
- excellent duelest
- can even run down ranged top-laners if played well

Cons:
- team/jungle will usually think you're trolling and either throw the match or ban Braum
- weak against other disabler champs
- build has no room for item substitutions, and therefore you are unable to counter-build

Overall, an average off-meta experience.
Epilogue
The last thing to know is that no matter how much evidence you provide that a strat works, there will always come someone that will throw the game because they didn't like who you picked. Thus is the danger of playing off-meta.

I have proven time and time again that this build works and is escpecially capable of forcing my lane opponents to underestimate the pick and make mistakes. This build is old and is nothing new to the Braum community; however, it is one of the few builds I have come across that continuously stands the test of time in and out of seasons. Now, get out there and administer some cold claps.
