rush exec but its a shit buy early so u set urself behind to stop a champ who builds rod and zhonyas and still shits on you through exec.

we balancing him soon or we keeping it for the low elos to abuse?

right now there are multiple swain mains in high elo abusing his laning phase and his cancerous teamfighting.

he even had a graves jungle who constantly dove me.

where is the counterplay lol.

Take ignite, take exe, and literally play around him.

adapt or die fam

pick a champion who can all-in early with ignite and shit on him. pref with a fast dash so you can shit on him if he Qs or Ws on you. I'm fond of Wukong for this, but I imagine Xin Zhao top would work too

he rushed ninja tabis and rod lol.

he even had 2 dorans and constantly froze every bit of cs.

eerytime i walked up graves would show near top and i had to back off.

yeah, if the jungler is camping ranged top you're pretty fucked but nothin you can do about that. my condolences for the cancer. it's even worse if you're an immobile melee main like me, i have to pick champs I hate playing just so I don't feed xd

basically you have to shit on swain ASAP or he'll shit on you at level 6. pretty much you have to cheese him hard.

he certainly won that lane on his own :)

It's not about winning 'on your own' it's about playing smart and knowing your limitations.

idk how many times people don't know how to play a match-up and will constantly die trying to perform plays they can't pull off.

i dont recall saying i was feeding?

i had 2 deatsh that game.

i was playingf as smart as i could in that 2v1 but his champ was stronger in that situation with the balanced graves on his dick.

he even had doubles level 3 with full hp .

I don't recall accusing you of anything. I don't recall you stating any details of your game in your post.

There's always farming under tower, farming gromp/scuttle, asking for ganks, roaming mid/tp bot, let your tower go down to roam/free farm, etc etc.

You have to be decisive on how you want to trade kills/objectives/farm.

Swain can't lane against people who all in

Fiora, Xin, Darius even..

Swain has one of the weakest early laning phases in the the game. Anyone who can all in him wins the lane hard.

at 11 minutes you can see a solo kill. Prior to that, Skarner gets a kill on Warwick during a counter gank, and 1 assist as Rengar ults in to finish off swain who just ran away from him.

It's almost like ranged champions are supposed to be strong against melee champions because of the reach disparity.

Also, it wasn't Swain on his own, it was you getting camped. Don't whine about Swain in particular when it was a 2v1. You'd have gotten screwed by anybody in that situation.
