Reworked Swain, possibly the worst champ ever?

Granted his passive(the pull) has some team fight use. He himself doesn't actually do anything. His base damage is low, his AP scaling is low. His ult is awful. Theres literally nothing good about him except for his tug on CC's....

He was ATLEAST 500% better pre-rework than he is now. This is an abomination. Who designed this?

I swear I think they made him a support, his full combo with the highest ap items is like 3k dmg which is ridiculous since to actually achieve that you have to shotgun the q and his ult explosion max fragments did around 1k, on the target dummy with 15 pen, but thats negligable since most real people have 100 armor and mr in their build anyway and anyone you could do the combo on could just kill you way before. Building him tank makes much less sense now since his ult is what really made him the beefmonster since it was more or less permanent passive dmg, now you get a cooldown, one shotgun spell that does ok dmg, a support w that's weakish, slow, and ok range on a high cd, can be juked at all directions this matters to the previous statement because its easier to see a circle and walk out of it than a line and completely change your direction to move out of it, and god his e, I've missed that thing as if it was a nid spear, it's so narrow for no reason, and the lack of visual on the explosion is disgusting riot. I cant tell what MY ONLY ESCAPE AND ENGAGE IS GOING TO HIT, I just fought a sion and he juked that by a sliver and later full on body absorbed my Q from my side, not even my front. BY THE WAY SION JUST WALKS AT YOU AND YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, LITERALLY NOTHING, THE PULL DOESNT WASTE THE CD OF SION'S Q IT RESETS IT. GOOD JOB RIOT.

TL:DR: Ult is no dmg no matter how you build. E is worse than nidalee spear unless you're purely lucky. W is needlessly Slow and easy to juke, can run through it after you've seen it and still escape. Q is made out of poprocks and soda Passive: Nonsense with a negligible heal. Build a Gunblade for a more interesting champion and more useful ult heal I guess.

MFW Weeb anime garbage is more marketing than actual design and enjoyment. Amumu MFW Zoe is Riot's way of acknowledging the Loli hentai community.Azir

Really though, did anyone play him and actually think it was fun to be a realistic crippled old man on the rift?

Unrelated, I own every champ and I still cant think of one I WANT to play. They're all either outdated, gimmicks, or so weeby and overly edgy lame, that I'm embarrassed if someone saw it on my screen.
