How to win lane as Brand against Locke · 50% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | No meaningful data exists yet for this matchup, so treat level 1-2 as an even skill matchup. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Same lack of an established edge continues into levels 3-4 — play for good trades, not assumed favor. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 5 remains a coinflip window decided by who executes better, not kit advantage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Both ultimates come online without a clear favor either direction. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Ultimate-window fights are decided by who lands first, not by champion identity. |
| First item | Even / skill | Neither side has an itemization or scaling edge established for this matchup. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late-game teamfights remain a pure skill and macro contest with no inherent favor. |
There's no clear data-backed edge in this matchup at levels 1-2 — play it like a standard skillshot-vs-skillshot lane where trades reward good positioning and wave control rather than any kit advantage.
