Please don't change Swain's ultimate. He's one of the last remaining magic drain tanks in the game.

All of Swain's kit aside from his ultimate can be changed without really ruining Swain's identity or gameplay, but his ultimate cannot be dramatically changed without completely alienating his playerbase unless it keeps the healing. Swain isn't bursty, he doesn't have a ton of utility, his kit relies entirely on his ultimate.

Vladimir was shifted from a drain-tank into a weird protobelt burst mage, so please, let Swain remain a drain-tank. New Morgana is cool but got hotfix nerfed hard and her sustain isn't really similar to old Vlad or Swain.

Drain tanking is unhealthy for the game (in Riot's paraphrased words). It's why Warwick's passive heal is conditional and why Vlad's massive sustain is gated behind a fully charged Q and his ultimate.

I have a feeling that if he's going to keep some form of sustain, it won't be as straightforward or as frequent as his current ultimate.

I think they'll keep his ult and the tankiness of it, but they'll probably change how it functions. Maybe with shields or something, or a fixed amount of time in your ult instead of the toggle style.

I disagree. His W is his most iconic ability and is perfectly fine/balanced. I feel it has to and undoubtedlywill remain.

I hate to break it to you, but his ultimate is the only thing we got any sort of information on, and it’s definitrly been completely reworked.
