I believe this was the last time we talked about Swain: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/10/champion-roadmap-october-2017/

Not sure if you're the right person to ask but will we get a champ roadmap after Swain's rework?

RiotRiot King Cobra4 votes

Yep!

If the next champion released is coming from Piltover or Zaun, blink 2 times!

Velzard of Koz3 votes

No, not another one. Muh void... I know void shouldn't be too filled, but If they invade Runeterra, then it counts as making void more void.

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

The last new champ from Zaun was Ekko, some time ago. And Piltover's last was Camille, but it still lacks champs. Piltover needs more diversity.

You are right that we could use a new voidling, though.

Velzard of Koz1 votes

I count Warwick and Urgot as Zaunite releases since VGUs are presented similar to as new champs. Also I realize Camille was last, but it's still not as far as last champions of other regions.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Don't think this is how this works. We got 3 Ionian releases in a row this year, but Irelia still got slated for her VGU soon.

I think new champs and VGUs are seen as different cases here.

Can we get a rough idea of when he'll be hitting the PBE, like late January early February? I'm interested to know what has changed about him.

Is he being balanced for mid or top? or both?

Moonboy651 votes

nah, he's being fully reworked

Spideraxe1 votes

Could I ask if you guys brought some guest Swain playtesters to try him like Quas?

RiotRiot King Cobra3 votes

While we haven't brought in any superstars, we've run a number of player labs for Swain that consisted of Swain mains and mage mains of various skill levels. Their feedback has proven super valuable in Swain's development. :)

Spideraxe1 votes

If there's still time left to iterate before his reveal I'd def recommend bringing him as I personally feel his feedback could be useful as one of the most iconic Swain mains, but I'm sure Alex will do a great job regardless

Brutusness2 votes

I have an extremely important question about the update. Is he still rocking the blue triple Mohawk, or is that nixed? What's his head situation?

patmax171 votes

What phase is his development at the moment? Is his kit almost settled and undergoing polish, or are you still exploring?

Moonboy651 votes

when can we expect Swain to make his tactical return?

8.2? 8.3?

SSShutTheDuckUp1 votes

The most important question: Does he still have Beatrice as a part of his kit (in any form)?

With the Bilgewater Swain skin going on sale soon, I was wondering if you could give us a small hint on how it looks... Is it similar to the original, or did they do a full overhaul to it.

Just curious because currently I'm not a huge fan of it, so if the rework makes swain look like a badass pirate I'd be down for the 260RP gamble.

Or perhaps riot can show off what swain will look like before the sale?

RiotRiot King Cobra3 votes

So I know for sure I'm going to be playing a lot of new Swain when he goes live...what I don't know yet is which skin I'm going to "main" because they all are insanely awesome - Bilgewater Swain included. :D

Good thing I am not a hacker or else I would have gone in and leak the specs.

I hope instead of op he is going to be balanced. Fun? Which in league vocalubry usualy means cancer? I hope not.

xGunna12 votes

op is more fun than meh balanced = weak

DrAtomMagnumMDPh4 votes

{quoted}

op is more fun than meh balanced = weak

Balanced is neither op or weak, thats the inbetween. Op isn't fun because when you win it doesn't give you the "i was better so i won" feeling, only the " my champ was better so i won" feeling. Some of us don't find that satisfactory.

xGunna11 votes

well even challenger players only look for op champs to keep their elo high so playing op champs is indeed a smart move to win games and winning games is the goal

If you want elo of course but i rather have my wins my prefered champs, even if its harder to achieve.
