Swain already ran OOM quickly if he tried to clear waves, but now they nerfed his Q so that it no longer returns mana upon killing a unit. He seems way worse to me after the rework. Maybe I just need to build 2 mana items to solve this problem? Also, the soul fragment stack health bonus seems miniscule. Over, I'd say the rework seems like a nerf. Thoughts?
What're you building? He's quite mana hungry but Swain mains including myself usually go Rod first which isolates any mana issues wit catalyst
Rush Ludens and you're fine
I just get lost chapter and then rush roa. Never have mana issues.
Manaflow band + one mana item solves all but the hungriest mana users' problems.
I never had any mana issues as Swain.
I don't really have mana issues as swain, I don't use q when I trade, just e w for the double souls and healing, only q when im forced to fight back / clear a large wave. (still max q first to keep mana cost low on e and w while also being more dangerous in all in + emergency waveclear)
Also rushing tear helps.
They removed the mana return on Q because they added mana return to his passive. Collecting a soul (landing W, pulling an immobilized champion, or being near a champion dying) gives Swain mana back.
