Zyra technically should have been a great pick vs. Braum because the E prevents him or his ally from applying Concussive Blows. Braum doesn't want to engage himself - he wants you to engage upon which he turns the fight around.

I 've seen it happen plenty already - even without ult, people are caught off guard at how much damage he reflects off and how the trade potential shifts to Braum and his lane partner. Do not engage Braum unless a kill is as easy as a CS.

Pick champs with strong spammable poke - Karma is a very good pick that I'm a fan of, but champs like Morgana, Zyra and Lulu work wonderfully well. Sustain champs like Soraka and Taric also do OK vs. Braum but they force no real pressure onto the enemy laner.
