A data-driven breakdown of Brand Top for patch 16.11: the most-played and highest-win-rate builds and runes, the matchups that beat Brand, synergy partners, and how Brand closes games — all from ranked Emerald+ data.
Brand is an AP mage in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 51.7% win rate, 0.4% pick rate, 5,195 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Brand spikes hardest in the mid game around the two-to-three-item mark — that is the window to force fights and objectives.
How Brand wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Brand tips the fight, and sieging objectives and turrets with sustained pressure. The kit grades 8/10 teamfighting, 8/10 siege. Brand grades low on engage and disengage (3/10, 3/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.
The most-played core build is Blackfire Torch, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment, which holds a 54.5% win rate across 303 games this patch. The build above re-optimizes once you lock in the enemy composition.
The matchup to respect is Nami, where Brand sits at just 42.3%, the lane swings the other way into Lulu (57.0%), and on the team side, Brand gains the most from a Blitzcrank (+12.5% pair win rate).
