swain is there any plan for him

{quoted}

After his nerfs he seems pretty mediocre. His laning phase is still great, though. Vlad is more of a problem atm

I was basically here to post this.

Yeah he is somewhat weaker now. Perhaps they will want to look some edge cases for him. He sometimes behaves in unintuitive ways. For example if your adc (or major damage dealer) is dead (or zoned out) sometimes it is legitimately harder to kill swain by focusing him because he heals more off multiple people and if those people are low damage dealers, supports, tanks etc. He just becomes impossible to focus down. That is the consequence of allowing him to heal off tanks equally to squishy targets.

Sometimes I wish for his old healing method back, just with the better farming from the new Q that way as well as would work against him.

His will get some in a patch or two. The question is whether they are direct or indirect (e.g., nerf RoA). He is currently above average win rate at approx 53% (although it is falling) and his pick and ban rate are way higher than they ought to be for a traditionally niche pick.

He's the high elo teemo of top lane and anyone who has to melee him is a poor sap.
