A level-by-level game plan for Locke vs Brand.
Levels 1-2
Your clear order and first camp decide tempo — track the enemy jungler's likely path.
- Locke is usually weak before level 3 — poke safely and avoid unnecessary trades.
- Brand likely outranges you — approach through minion wave cover instead of walking in.
- OP.GG data flags Locke as a strong counter to Brand in this role — you can afford to lean into trades early.
Levels 3-5
First gank windows open. Prioritize lanes with a lead-friendly matchup and reliable CC.
- Look for a burst window once your combo unlocks, ideally when they misplay cooldowns.
- Expect poke whenever you're out of position; punish only after they use their combo.
Level 6
Ultimates come online map-wide — expect the first real skirmishes around objectives.
- Your ultimate turns this into a real kill threat — look for all-in windows on cooldown.
- Their ultimate usually adds burst or CC — don't sit still in their range once it's up.
Levels 7-11
Objective control becomes the main scoreboard — track enemy jungler position at all times.
- Use roams and priority to pick off isolated targets instead of forcing a straight fight.
- Watch for wave clear into a fast roam — don't get caught alone in a side lane.
Levels 12-15
Your itemization decides whether you're a skirmisher, teamfighter, or split-push threat.
- Burst items complete — you should one-shot squishy targets if you land your combo clean.
- Burst items make them a one-combo kill threat on squishies — use minions or terrain as cover.
Level 16+
Baron and late objectives decide the game — vision matters more than mechanics now.
- Play around picks before fights start; a clean burst on their carry usually wins it outright.
- Focus them first in teamfights if you can reach them — they melt fast but hit hard if ignored.
