How to beat Soraka as Braum: the early game

Levels 1-3 are yours. Soraka pays health to poke with Starcall and to Infuse mana, so a Braum who walks her down with Q slow into passive stun wins every early trade. She has zero mobility to escape your gap-close — punish the moment she steps up to Q the wave. She pays her own health to poke and to sustain, so a Braum who keeps walking at her wins on attrition alone. Mark her every time she casts. Shield the chip on the way in, and let your ADC complete the stack before the heal can cover the deficit.
