i don't notice a change at level 18 unless you don't level his w up from level 1-4

He doesn't need his slow ass snare to be gutted. It got tapped a bit early game which is all it "needed".

i don't think it's a huge nerf, because swain will be playing pretty passively and farming until he get 2+ items anyway. and by the time he's ready to fight he will start having points in W...you can also always level W now before Q...

but his early game and lane farming was already pretty weak. the W also has quite a high cool down. id imagine as a result of these nerfs it will only be used defensively. Idk honestly don't think it's a huge problem.

also off topic but people said keystone DFT is op on swain...idk but I've actually been going 18 in cunning and 12 in resolve...you get 18% increased healing which is pretty nuts. It's easier to pop grievous wounds (although no one seems to purchase executioner's...), but GW is now 40%. with this 18% increase, GW is a net of -22% healing compared to what it used to be. so in all honestly he might need a slight nerf. (i am a swain player, not main, but he is in my top 10 or 15 champs i play the most)
