So, @ Riot: What is going to change on Swain?

Hi board goers and Riot employees,

I read a while back about the mage update that you (Riot) has decided that Swain needs a rework. At first I was like, "Oh no! Swain! Whyyyy!??!?"

Then the more I thought about it Swain really does need one. It's ok to have simple things in the game, but sometimes his simplicity can be dulled down to anything near you = enemy face melting zone, since most of his damage is unavoidable. When behind there is no way to stack your damage onto someone in a way to kill them before they kill you. He also has no wave clear whatsoever until post 6 where you burn large portions of mana to do it a wave at a time.

In that sense, I would like to know what issues did you (Riot) find with Swain and what are your plans for him going into the future?

I love the character and want to see Swain done justice.

Thank you to Riot and all Swain mains everywhere.

P.S. Are you going to keep the purple/green color scheme? I always thought he would look better with a more black/green (even though I know you don't do black on character models, but maybe an almost 'black' blue could work). Almost more like a Ravenborn Swain as the base skin.
