Had a couple Swain games today that reminded me why I fucking love the old man, built standard AP with Bulk on him (
etc)
But reading on all the hate Tank Ekko and Tank Akali are getting, it makes me wonder if the same build would work with Swain. 
etc.
No more time for matches tonight, so thought I'd send the idea out for some thoughts on the matter.
LadyRenly2 voteswhat would you hope to accomplish?
Akalis saving grace is that she has stickyness, and Ekko has slipperyness. Akali works with sunfire and tank so she can stay on top of you, Kog Maws worst nightmare. But Swain? He is an ap mage, he needs to do damage who has little utility outside of his snare
Notice how both Akali and Ekko have some kind of mobility, Swain has none.
Strawberrycocoa1 votesGood point on the mobility, hadn't considered that facet.
WinBoat1 votesAnyone with mobility who can go tank will destroy. Not just Ekko.

Yes, it works.
You build full tank with Sunfire Cape, Titanic Hydra, and Spirit Visage. Max E and that's your main trade tool. It works really well as her E has a low cooldown and Akali can spam it and auto-attack against a squishy until they are dead.

r u daft?
ViashinoWizard1 votesNot very well. Swain doesn't have any mobility and main utility spell is on a pretty long cooldown.
