Swain rework

Swain is coming after eve. When exactly has not been said yet.

Probably early January, that's my guess.

I'm still hopeful that it could land in December. Could easily get pushed back to January or February, I think.

They haven't said because they don't know. Riot takes a very "it's ready when we put it on PBE" type of approach to these issues, so you're not going to get a straight answer until it's on the PBE. We haven't seen a teaser today, so I'd be willing to bet it's not this cycle, at the very least :^)

late january-early february i'd say. But we may get a new champion by the end of the year, so there's that. Either way, he's definitely coming after the start of season 8.

Oh boy... I really dont want to quit League...

But I have yet to see at least one AP-Rework that isnt straight up terrible. Maybe that's it but... I dont think so...

hi, I'm a swain main. lets first look at his problems. his aa range is 500 when the range aa base standard is 550 . to me his kit doesn't scream master tactician. he is a more heavily item dependent than most champs, he is a late game champ even though there are other champs that out perform him then.

firstly his passive there is no thought to it an it doesn't become relevant in helping him till he can q w an kill the entire minion wave(not to mention all the other champs w/ mana restore abilities).

I think his updated pass should be restore 3-20% hp OR mana based dmg dealt depending on which is lower.

his q is fine only suggest it cd be 10 sec at all ranks(would actually like all his abilites 10 sec cd at all ranks so they are in sync(q & w both 10cd at max rank anyway, an e already like that) an that still longer cd than most other champ abilities that do even more dmg)

his w I feel like it could be turned into his gap closer, currently you snare someone , you go in an by time your r is in range they are unsnared. like you can reactivate it for more mana an you go where ur w was. also decrease range an increase are effected

e is where the main update is needed, before they changed his q from target to aoe his e was hi main source of poke an dmg, not it just bland an doesn't do much. I also feel this is where it could the most make him seem like a master tactician. change his e into aoe (so works better with pass, range 700 area 325 so all his abilities sync up an you lead w/ his e ) but here is where can be added "WHILE marked if target DIES furture dmg is increased by 1-5%,& if target kills swain their future dmg to swain is reduced by 1-5%" 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." I was even thinking adding while marked dmg to swain is reduced by 20%.

his r just add when hit send out another raven at attacker.
