Shallow grave you guys put Swain in, let's talk about it.

I actually really, really like where you guys were going with Swain's new kit (aside from his lack of draintank...really 1 sec CD for target to be drained...?), it makes him not braindead anymore...but really...something has GOT to change, as of now...his Q does two things, not enough damage and gets dodge out of... I've been in situations where I'll land a WEQ combo on someone with no MR and it'll take like 40% of their life...? That's if you can ever find someone dumb enough to stand in a Q radius...it's so tiny even people without boots just walk right out and avoid /all/ of your pre-six damage

You could possibly make it so he can move his Q, very slowly, but still enough to make it so people aren't just like, "Wow that's cute, I'm going to stand over here now and take advantage of the CD you just lost (high base CD)", or as a last resort just buff the duration or damage on it...I mean you already gutted his ability to be a draintank by giving him a 1 sec cd per target

Let's talk about that one second cooldown! Not much to say, you guys really patted down the dirt with this one. You took the very essence of Swain and gutted it, he can no longer sustain properly vs groups...so now he's a...laning phase 1v1..ish?... tank? What were you guys thinking, .25 or even .5s would be good...but an entire second? What....?

What the hell is wrong with you man? First off, you could have moved out of old Q's range just as easily if not easier because it disappeared once you did. Now it is both a farming and a zoning tool. It absolutely destroys teamfights too where people aren't able to move as freely as they would like to. Also his ulti is much better now even with the 1 sec cooldown. At max rank during a teamfight you pretty much heal 300HP a sec BEFORE AP counted in. And it no longer gets reduced by enemy MR. Your proposed changes would make him heal 600HP a second or even 1200HP. Don't be ridiculous. You literally cannot die in a teamfight now. I managed to 1v5 an entire team, kill a few and STILL survive and I had just two items.
