If Swain changes in 7.14 are true
Thank you riot I've wanted to play this champion as an alternative Midlaner for so long but his power spike is too feast or famine. I hope these changes go through for him.

5 Health per soul, doubled during ultimate. I wonder how much thats going to equal. Thats 5 Health per kill that Swain is near plus an additional soul for every W hit and Passive proc. My belief is this is going to push Swain more towards Bottom Lane as a DPS or maybe even Mage Support (kill lane) role, since thats where he will get the most frequent passive procs and the ability to potentially get 2 souls per W. The extra health will allow him to survive down there too. His R change also makes him better in Bottom Lane, since he wants to be near more enemies in order to drain up to the damage cap for his ultimate (plus the increased healing).
TL;DR I think this pushes Swain towards Bottom Lane, and makes him even scarier than he was previously in a team fight.
