You support through disrupting fights, being annoying, Slowing/Healing/Buffing and soaking damage.
How to play
General
You rush Rylai's Crystal Scepter, then Imperial Mandate.
Your CC triggers Glacial Augument that slows AOE. All Slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.
Since LoL Patch 14.1 Imperial Mandate is changed. Now you need your team to proc it to deal any damage. So you need to play a little bit differently. Do not spam mindlessly. Try coordinating it with your team - when they are about to poke or when they go in.
Font of Life heal can trigger various support items, like Ardent Censer or Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Tips and Tricks
Champion
As Brand, you can poke enemies by setting ablaze minions, then using Conflagration (E) on them.
Riot
You can deter enemies from standing near their minions by setting them ablaze, due to Conflagration.
You can use Brand's abilities in a variety of combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.
Pyroclasm bounces randomly between enemies, so try to cast it on a small group of enemies if you want to hit the same target multiple times.
