The true reason for the Swain and Brand nerfs

When you want to pick a mage vs Yasuo Brand and swain are the mages to look at

I think Brand is one of the few mages which can actually lane vs Yasuo and win that lane. try maxing e together with w

keep poking with e on cooldown he cant do anything about it, aa e walk away aa e walk away aa e walk away.

keep your 1 point q ready to stun point blanc just keep up your passive on him with nonstop e poke Try and land a few w's for extra damage. And bounce your ult around is windwall, via a minion.

Swain is pretty much a big fuck you to Yasuo as he is 80% dot damage so Yasuo passive shield isn't really effective to prevent harass. And he cant melee you because of the root you can drop under your own feet, followed by your nuke combo melting him while you walk away. He can't harass you out of lane because of your ultimate and if he does not get you low enought to ult aa q he can never really allin you because if he don't burst you then you win.

Too bad Riot is nerfing both, guess why. . .

Would annie be getting slapped with the nerf bat aswell?

The swain and brand nerfs are fairly reasonable imo

Malzahar is way better against Yasuo than Swain or Brand.
