Early game (levels 1–5)

Brand wins the early outright. His W Pillar of Flame and Q Sear stun poke you down from range you can't answer while mounted, and every step toward him costs a huge chunk. Farm from max range, don't try to walk down his poke, and only look for a play from a bush where his stun angle is denied.
