I'd hate if my champion got deleted from the game and replaced by vlad's lost brother.
He lost all of his identity, even his abilities all look red/copy pasted from the generic noxus champs, they deleted swain and released a new champ with the same name.
RIP
B1GST0NE2 votesdude, he was pretty much just a troll champ anyway. I agree that they deleted him effectively, but they did the same thing to urgot and sion. Anyone who liked his kit had to like it for toxic reasons imo, he had infinite sustain, very little skill, and was just a pain to play against.
chipndip12 votesEVERY VGU we do this song and dance. Do you guys not like VGUs? If you protest enough, they'll just never do them again like how they discontinued class reworks. Is that better?

Oh forgive me for not liking a bad VGU.
Sion, GP, WW were all good and you dont see ppl complaining about it
Akali is SO HOT1 votesSome VGUs have been really bad while others have been spot on. Galio's VGU was awful and basically created a completely new champion. They could've kept the old Galio and added in the new Galio as a new champ and there would be almost no similarities between the two. Warwick's VGU was just spot on in every way possible. Kept the feel of playing old Warwick, but modernized his kit to help him fit in with the today's standards. GP's and Kat's were also really good imo.
The goal of a VGU should be to enhance a champion and not create a completely new one. There's basically no resemblance at all to the old Galio with the new one aside from the taunt. Basically a new champ all around. It seems like Swain might be the same way, but I never really played him and I haven't played the new one so I don't know. I can definitely understand why some people are upset about the rework. Having your champion deleted and replaced with a completely different one REALLY sucks.
Dope Solo1 votesVisually, he looks like a lot of fun. There are just so many champs you can learn effectively and can try and climb with though. If BE wasn't so hard to come by, I'd pick him up. As is, I only activate shards now.
Scibra1 votesNot all VGU's are for the benefit of the champion and its players. Sometimes a kit needs updated to be fun to play against, not just fun to play itself. Swain was one such kit.
