Riot, everyone else, I'd like to hear your input on how you feel Swain is performing after the recent nerfs to his W.
What do you like, what do you not like, is he in a good place, anything really.
As a Swain main, I'd love to hear everybody's feedback :)
WalkingInACircle1 votesEh, Riot said they think Swain needs a rework so in all probability they intended to gut him until they change him. Like Akali. If only they'd do it to Yasuo.
Lao Fu the Tiger1 votesNah, I wouldn't say they'd gut him. They'll rework him later probably next year. But this is about his status not and if any QoL changes are coming his way.
I personally think his nerfs were a tad too much, but that's just my opinion.
Perigrin Took2 votesWell his nerfs weren't that much. I mean i can still just go against a lot of champions and easy win the 1vs1. Sometimes even if they're fed.
Lao Fu the Tiger2 votesThe nerfs were moreso aimed at his defenses rather than offenses. He can't get away from ganks nearly as well now.
Kratos2631 votesI've replayed him a couple time, and I feel like he can't win lane anymore unless the opponent makes mistakes. The snare is normally hard to land without reading your opponent and now early game, landing it at max range changes nothing because you can't get close enough before the CC ends. This means your opponent needs to play poorly and get close to you if you ever want to beat him.
He was my favorite midlaner once, but now he feels a bit frustrating to play since the only strategy he now has in lane is: farm until the opponent does something stupid. And farming isn't his best asset either.
