Braum should be a fairly easy matchup but don't let that get through you if you see one of the enemy minions too close to you then stay away from it, you should be able to poke him down with Starcall (Q) as long as you don't get cought with his Winter's Bite (Q) or Stand Behind Me (W).
Bard
Bard is usually higher on the list of threats but because of his high skill cap Bard can either be a nightmare to play against or a breeze, however if he has Electrocute then play the lane passively if he has aery then you can play a little bit aggressive but be careful if he lands Cosmic Binding (Q) then you're either fucked completely or semi-fucked. xD
Zyra
Just don't EVER trade with this bitch EVER!.
Brand
Brand has a lot of damage with his (Passive) Blaze and combination with his Pillar of Flame that gives Bonus damage to it if the target is effected by Blaze (Passive) so keep an eye on his positioning and always stay far away from his reach.
Alistar
Alistar can be really scary but can also be easily dealt with, you can go with the aggressive path and poke him down level one SHOW NO MERCY! cause he won't show it level two or three and make sure to watch for his Headbutt (W) Pulverize (Q) combo, don't get caught and you will win this lane.
Blitzcrank
Blitz's Rocket Grab (Q) is 20 seconds and once he misses that you can poke him down to oblivion but be careful that hook is absolutely devastating, he doesn't need to use his hook to get you all he has to do is use his Overdrive (W) and Power Fist (E) to get in-range to secure a hook and kill you, keep the bushes warded and always be on your guard.
Janna
Fairly easy and boring matchup match her poke and know if she's maxing her Zephyr (W) if she's not then this should be even easier but if she is then manage your resources and out poke her.
Leona
NO! JUST NO! BUSHES ALWAYS I MEAN ALWAYS!!! WARDED, has good cooldowns and can abuse them to ruin your life so play like an absolute bitch.
Lulu
This is a skill matchup that depends on who wastes cooldowns faster, out poke her and out sustain her and you will win this matchup.
Morgana
Her Dark Binding (Q) is deadly if it misses then punish her for it and poke her down to uninstalling the game, otherwise don't get hit DON'T EVER GET HIT! it will take 1 Dark Binding (Q) and you're fucked ... Literally.
Nami
Her Tidecaller's Blessing (E) can be extremely dangerous if she has an aggressive adc I.E. Lucian/Draven and can also set her up for her Aqua Prison (Q) but if she has a safe adc that doesn't have high damage output early then you can play aggressive.
Rakan
Rakan can be a pain in the ass if matched with Xayah but can also preform really well with other adcs, if he's matched with Xayah take it easy and play passively if he's not then make sure to watch out for his positioning and trade with him or the adc and run don't get in-range for his Grand Entrance (W).
Sona
This is a skill matchup and it's about who spams abilities more go aggressive and ruin her life otherwise she will ruin yours
Taric
Heavily depends on what adc he's matched with if its a Tristana/Lucian/Draven then take easy his Dazzle (E) can be devastating combined with his
Bravado (Passive) so take easy if its an aggressive lane for em or poke his adc, but usually this should be fair matchup
Thresh
Same case Blitzcrank he doesn't need to hit his hook he just needs to walk up and Flay (E) and then secure an easy hook, would put him higher but due to his high skill cap i lowered him, still dangerous so take it easy
Ashe
Ashe's a fairly easy match, Ashe doesn't have the damage out put that current adcs have but she does have the range this will be a skill match up, trade whenever she goes for minions.
Caitlyn
Caitlyn can be a nightmare lane and can absolutely shit on you and your adc, but it heavily depends on the player being good with her, regardless its the same case with ashe but does more damage with her Yordle Snap Trap (W) and Headshot (Passive), poke her when she goes for minions and trade when she does.
Draven
Draven would be higher but due to his skill cap he will settle here just fine, Draven has a lot of damage with his Spinning Axe (Q) and a good Draven is the epitome of what satan truly is, check his stats if its a good Draven play like an absolute fucking broke bitch, otherwise poke him with Starcall (Q) everytime he goes for an axe.
Ezreal
Ezreal's a safe laner abuse him with Starcall (Q) and Equinox (E).
Jhin
Don't underestimate Jhin's damage, his Whisper (Passive) damage from forth shot is a lot, combined with (the newly buffed) Dancing Grenade (Q) and Deadly Flourish (W) Jhin damage isn't something to be laughed at, poke him when he reloads and silence him when you get marked.
Jinx
Go for trades when she goes for minions, jinx lane isn't that strong so trade when she goes for minions.
Kai'Sa
Pre 6 Trade with her depending on the type of support she's with, After 6 don't get marked otherwise you're as good as dead unless you have flash and exhaust.
Aggressive Support: Passive
Passive Support: Aggressive
Kalista
Kalista's in a mediocre state right now but you can still abuse her with Starcall (Q) but make sure you are out of her Auto Attack range otherwise she can do some serious damage.
Karma
Karma can kill you pretty fast if she gets in rage with her Inspire (E) and Focused Resolve (W) go with the passive build and poke with Starcall (Q) and Auto Attacks whenever you can.
Kog'Maw
Extremely easy to harass poke him with Starcall (Q) and Equinox (E) and Auto Attacks.
Lucian
Can heal his damage but don't let him reach you, if Lucian has Press the Attack he can easily take down 70% of your health with 1 combo, so be on your guard and poke from a distance.
Miss Fortune
Has a lot of damage but can easily be poked, careful she doesn't reach you with Make It Rain (E) when she has an aggressive support cause Miss Fortune has a lot of damage early game.
Sivir
Easy to abuse not because its sivir but because he picked sivir, knock some sense into him.
Tristana
Tristana has a lot of damage early on when she reaches level three so be careful when she has Rocket Jump (W) and Explosive Charge (E) cause she will do a lot of damage to you however he threat level depends on the support player she has.
Aggressive: higher threat level
Passive: Lower threat level
Twitch
Easy to harass early on with Starcall (Q) and Auto Attacks, but don't get fully stacked cause it will do a lot of damage.
Varus
Varus early game has a lot of damage but he has to reach you to max his Blighted Quiver (W) can still be poked with starcall (Q), after 6 don't get too close otherwise he will hit you with Chain of Corruption (R) which fully stacks Blighted Quiver (W).
Vayne
Her range makes her an easy champion to deal with early game but make sure you're not near a wall otherwise 1 condemn (E) can be the end of you.
Xayah
Xayah has a lot of damage, would put her threat level higher if she was combined with Rakan, still with or without him she can do a lot of damage so have your guard up when you go for trades.
I'm Chase and I'm currently sitting at platinum 3 and peeked diamond 5 in the preseason, I also managed to hit diamond 4 in EUW before taking a break for a year, I also did coaching although I'm taking a break currently to focus more on league of legends.
I've been playing support since mid season 4 and been sticking with the supports only support their team and never picked a brand or any damaged support in bottom lane since it's never been my cup of tea.

Aggressive Runes
Summon Aery:
Summon Aery is a great Rune with healers in general and whenever you have it use it to poke the enemy with Starcall (Q) or Auto Attack them with it, it can also shield your ally twice when you have Rejuvenation from Starcall (Q) so make sure you are close for that as well
