swain doesnt need a rework, just adjusted

to all swain main current and old I ask for your help in getting the riot rework team in viewing this before they turn him into something unrecognizable as swain.

lets start with his pass, for a master tactician it misses the mark of keeping him in battle or wait, an now there are other passives like it (dorans ring, Brand), well what keeps you in battle, hp and mana (if you are a mana champ), but that would make it like chogath an you are not getting while in battle so I came up with this pass : gain hp OR mana depending on which is lower based on 3-20% dmg dealt.

his Q has no interaction w/ his other abilities other than just more dmg, not what you would expect on a master tactician (like syndra and brand do) adding a blind and silence would make landing his W feel much more impactful (animation Beatrice goes to targets in area and pecks them )

it is currently easier to lead w/ his W but he misses out on the bonus dmg from E which is not like a master tactician an d its long range makes it hard to get to target before they escape, I suggest reduce range to 700 but increase radius to 325 an add "when snare enemy champion gain movement speed" which allows him to choose to continue in or leave.

if you are a tactician you never only atk 1 target, yes it gives dmg but misses the point of going an not dying early on by their dmg, increase range to 700 make it an aoe burst radius 325 with "WHILE marked dmg to swain is reduced by 20%, and if target DIES furture dmg is increased by 5%,& if target kills swain their future dmg to swain is reduced by 5%" an it gets quotes, kill: "this time was easy enough, next time will be even easier", died "you won this battle, but you will lose the war." (Q interact Beatrice does 2X dmg as beam animation )

his R needs when hit send out another raven at attacker(increase mana cost/for current mana cost) to counter that he can only send one every other second

his Q,E need 7sec cd since they act over 4 seconds

Q does %health damage per 0.5 seconds please.

no it doesn't, currently it does 30 / 47.5 / 65 / 82.5 / 100 (+ 30% AP) each sec for 4 seconds, none of his abilities do %health dmg unless you count getting liandrys,

oh that's what you want , I thought it might too but that would be a bit much w/ everything else, he doesn't need it they just need to have haunting guise have liandrys %burn at half rate.

It was mostly sarcasm due to recent Galio.

Current Swain is so uninteractive... His Q takes more than half the lane AND prioritizes champions while also slowing you, forcing you into an awkward positioning if you even want to CS, while he sustains himself with both health and mana. GAH i shouldn't even have to explain why he needs a rework, it's so obvious. Not as obvious as Mordekaiser, but still obvious.

currently when he does heal it is less than other heal abilities, an only gets mana on kills

Swain has been boring and outdated for years, he needs this rework.

well, what do u think of this adjustment idea? or is it not even worth trying in your opinion?

You, do realize it's far too late for that right? When a rework is announced they generally are already at least 3 months into it. He was revealed in July, and thus now it's November, with a speculated release of January 2018. So he probably started in May and should end up here by January.
