Will Swain be added to this list? And shouldn't Taric be removed ?

Taric's not out yet (still on the PBE) so he'll be on the list until he's on the Live servers. Hopefully Swain gets on there at some point. We add champions when their update's looking like a pretty sure thing though, in terms of timeframe's understood, we've got kit/visual/thematic direction etc. It's not a list of reworks we want to do someday.

Just so you know, since you guys seem to be hiring more experienced professional voice actors for your newer champion voice-overs: If you eventually get to Swain, CONTACT ED BLAYLOCK. This guy's got the perfect voice to do an intimidating and commanding Swain voice, just look at his voice-over roles as King Bradley and Sengoku. And to boot, the guy DJ's a classical radio station! How much more Swain-like could he be?

Has he made some form of pact with a dark and ancient power? If not, I'm gonna go with 'could be more Swain like'.

Seriously though, thanks for the suggestion.

... Did you just drop a tiny bit of Swain backstory on me, man? Don't do this to me!

How else would he morph into a demonic bird?

Is Swains Model being changed when he is updated? I know he had a texture update not long ago so I'm not sure. However currently doesn't he only have a stripe of hair down the middle and one down the left side? Yet the new splash seems to show 3 strips (one down the middle, and one on both the left and the right side)?

They're aiming to give Swain a full VGU like Taric.So yeah,his models will change.

Thanks :)

...though now I am even more concerned...lol

no one ever talks about him when it comes to updates/reworks, but is Teemo ever gonna get a VGU or will he just get a visually update? ever since his ult nerfs i haven't played him as much since it is MUCH harder to tilt people with only 5 min duration on shrooms.

@Meddler Can I get your feedback on these for temporary improvements to Swain? http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/lGfLntRB-swain-quality-of-life-changes

He's King Bradley??? Sign him up quick!

Literally just finished binge-watching my way through FMA: Brotherhood again last night.

If anything Ryze is the only one that we know will be added right now, since that's the one they've mentioned is in the works with Yorick

I'd love to see the removal of his click target nuke, when he already has extremely reliable damage from his automatic ult. That way, he's much less stat checky.
