I like that he's much more complex now, but the reason I fell in love with the old Swain was because of his DoT's. I'd like the rework more if his Q would be retooled into a DoT instead of burst, as it would maintain at least a little bit of what I loved.
There was nothing to love about old Swain. He was boring and un-interactive in every possible way. You throw out the DOT and back off, that's it, that was his trade pattern. It's the same pattern as Malz and any poison user. His current Q helps his wave clear and his fight potential on a low cooldown (less than 2 seconds at max rank and high CDR).
Nah if his Q had a dot like the old Swain he couldnt use it for the short CD to keep up with enemies fleeing while he ulted
