ive been trying all day just to get the guy once but every time he sjust banned .... i dont see the harm in letting people play him... cant do blind pick either cos it will proabbly last 20 mins be full of people also wanting swain and probably trolls of another forcing there way mid or another lane ... :<
Gotta face the guy at some point let it be now and get it out the way? :<
Zane Zephyr7 votesThis happens literally every time a champion/rework comes out because nobody wants to play with or against it and people also know that others want to play it so they'll do it just to be jerks.
Sherogarth4 votesThere is no Swain. Swain retired.
On the other hand the new champion you are talking about needs a new name... I suggest - Bob.
On Topic: Yes, ppl should stop banning Bob, he is not even that strong.
Chembaron Yamada1 votesI just ban him cause I don't want to have to deal with his W. A skill doubling as a scouting and ganking tool was too much for me....
Oleandervine4 votesIt's on like a 20s cooldown early levels. It's hardly spammable.
Chembaron Yamada1 votesNever said it would be, but I imagine that spell to be extremely annoying.
Oleandervine1 votesIt's not really a ganking tool, no more than the (unused) Clairvoyance was, or a blue ward, or Kalista's sentinels, or Ashe's Hawkshot, etc, etc. It has a slow, and a brief reveal of the a small area on the map. It'll be an inconvenience at most, but annoying, or even extremely annoying, it will not be.
YuGiHo1 votesU Imagine, lol. You are expecting too much from swain players on day 1
meowwow71 votesif used decently he is quite a menace he autos a set of minions and q's you through them while restoring more mana than he spent prompting a w and using his e and passive pull you into it although his passive gives you the signal to run when he gets near your lane
AlexisTheDragon1 votesHe's not even that fucking good, his E root is near impossible to hit.
You can only use W to catch people unawares, like jungling.
besides that you just got your Q and they can just walk away from you.
Seriously, jesus fucking christ I've been waiting for this rework for ages just let me play my fucking main.
LordKentravyon1 votesNew / reworked champions should be unbanable in normals for their first patch but unpickable in ranked
Easy fix. People can learn to play as them uninterupted, and others will have to learn pllay with / against them (needs to happen sooner or later) + no unbalnced champs effecting ranked one way or another
Mimr1 votesI actually managed to get 3 games toplane in with him today, he wasn't even banned that often, just that Rito gave me my offrole twice and autofilled as support once...
Anyway, he feels a little clunky. Probably inexperience as well, but his E feels too hard to hit with (the root part that is. Unless there's a reactivate to let it return early that I'm missing) while it's the only way for him to start a combo without outside help. He's incredibly strong when you manage to get a good ult off though, and I like the general premise and playstyle of the rework. Just his E that might need a missile speed buff.
W is supposed to be extremely telegraphed, it's mostly a scouting and zoning tool and should only hit when used on someone who is already CC-ed, when you place it in a chokpoint that's also someones' escape route or place it in a 10-man clusterfuck where it can possibly go unnoticed until it's too late.
YuGiHo1 votesIm loving it, 
is getting through so much today, you cant ban them all!
rtbf2216514121 votesI disagree. I would ban swain in ranked if someone selected him on my team or didn't because nobody knows how to play him and feed to hell.
Netorare1 votesPeople ban Swain because they can't dodge his E and W and they don't even bother to dodge
