Is Swain getting a rework?

Xela Syab··5 votes·856 views

Swain has probably the most boring kit in the game. Poke and cc, buy mana, grind to 6, walk up to enemies with ult. I don't have any ideas but it would be nice if he had more interaction or combo with his spells besides press buttons and walk.

He's getting one eventually.

Urgot Galio and Warwick are in much worse shape and are next in line for full reworks.

Not till season 8 which means he won't get a new skin until season 10. If Riot hasn't gone bankrupt by then.

maybe that is why people need to stop bitching so much and enjoy and play the game while it is here

They're planning to rework him at some point but I think their highest priorities after warwick and galio are Evelynn and urgot

when it comes to boring kits sona would have to be reworked first, 3 auto targeted abilities like holy hell, you could just put a macro on Q/W/E late game and still have succes

This I disagree with. Sona has a very fun kit that's extremely satisfying.

for me it's the opposite, I find no satisfaction having my abilities do all the aiming for me.

Well then just don't play Sona. She's more nuanced than that.

I don't I was merely expressing my opinion that I find sona more boring then swain as that's what the thread was about

As a support main, I agree that Sona needs more interaction as well. She's pretty much mash heals and damage and try to aim an ult. The only nuance with her kit is autoing targets while certain spells are in effect, sometimes you can really effect a fight with her passive. My main issue with Sona is the lack of hard cc before level 6. I think she needs an interaction where she hits a targets with a combo of spells and autos she can make them dance like her ult.

I think he's fun when he hits level 6 but his laning phase is incredibly lackluster and his abilities just feel old especially just the damage boost nuke he literally just has dfg as an ability. Plus how do you make plays with him?

i want a revert of his rework, he does far less damage than before even when landing all skill shots and relies way more on tanking and is more of a generic wave clearing mage that wave clears poorly. his kit is one of the most inconsistent in the game and he gets countered too easily.

the thing is, his "combo" doesn't work against anybody with a dash, cc reduction lowers his damage output by a lot and is highly inconsistent.

his insanely high cooldowns and low damage makes laning him mid lane basically like an akali or diana lane, pretty much get shit on before level 6. except when he his level 6 his power spike isn't near as much and he still gets outranged. he loses every mid lane match up against any meta champion.

top lane he does a lot better but still prone to ganks and MR items allow most anybody to outduel him just because he can't kill the opponent before he runs out of mana.

he is much more powerful in team fights, but good luck not getting shitted on before then.

he's face roll freelo in plat and below, but completely useless in high elo.
