Swain won't max q pre level 18 (usually)

This nerf hits him harder than most people think. The duration was HALVED while his nevermove still has a ~1 second delay.

Just the right skill to nerf, right? ...

Like I keep saying, should have looked at Torment... Damage Amplification from all of your attacks every 10 seconds for four seconds is a little ridiculous.

It was ridiculous when it boosted ignites damage which it no longer does. It was ridiculous when you stacked it with DFG which no longer exists.

And it's not ridiculous when you realize it's giving an 8-20% damage boost on Deathfire Touch?

nah because dft needs ap to scale up.

you let swain farm ur fault

They should make the damage amp scale with levels or something along the lines tbh.

Well that would be a nicer way to balance it... though to be honest, then Torment would be the last one to be leveled.

Unless they reduce the delay or rework that skill then yea the nerf was retarded.

I really think swain could use a small rework, keep the ultimate ofc its sort of his identity healing bird dude. Torment could stay but his Q and W could use some changing.

Maybe Q could be that Swain sends raven to cripple, and now it follows and gives a small-medium slow, but actively crippling opponents preventing them from using dash abilities, similar to how Poppy´s anti dash works.

W could be smothing like Ziggs hexplosive minefield, but instead it grabs people whom walk over it after a 0.1 delay after stepping on it. Talons would try to grab you, a talon will root you in place for 0,75 seconds and dissapears after. Each field will cosist of multiple talons, if you are fast enough or have a dash u might be able to walk/dash through it and that is where the new Q comes in it gives similar playstyle to what he has now.
