I've had to fight a few Braums, and to be really honest it depends on how smart and selfless the Braum is. If he goes ONLY to land Q's in lane and be aggressive, he can end up eating a ton of damage regardless of his E and W. His ADC has to be just as coordinated as he does in order to proc his passive, deal damage, and have a good presence. In my opinion, Braums should be doing the following:

1) Using their E to deny enemy CS **Big one there, helps shut down enemy ADC**

2) Landing the Q when their ADC is being aggressive.

3) Staying near the BACKLINE to peel, not to be a frontline bruiser.

In all honesty, people are playing Braum like Leona, which is not good. Braum doesn't have that kind of CC (his stun isn't that long). He needs to stick near the back with his team until there is no way their backline can get hit, and THEN he needs to jump in.

Tl;dr: He's strong, but people don't play him right yet. Overall, generally easy matchup IMO.
