Swain feels whack

Like I get what they're trying to do but he's whack rn

His lane phase? whack. His snare? whack. His W? whack. His soul system? whack. His ultimate though? it's fookin tight.

I've been playing him recently and I think he's actually pretty good and balanced. However, his ult should give him a boost of movespeed because right now its a little too easy to run away from IMO. Maybe his snare shouldn't hit minions on the way back?

I think he reminds me too much of old Nasus. His damage isn't all that during the lane phase and he feels very punishable early.

Swain already has an ability that slows, one that roots, and a passive that pulls enemies back into his ultimate range. Giving him boosted movement speed on top of that would eliminate most options for any counterplay. If enemies scatter and run away then you successfully used your ultimate to zone.

Try getting spellbinder on him maybe? I've tried it and it's pretty nice.

Personally I love new Swain. His lane is actually pretty good imo. Snare is nice if you know how to position it, and in conjunction with the W, the two are awesome. E, pull into W, two fragments. Tons of sustain with no trouble. Also the soul system is fun, I think.

I haven't been spamming him lately, but I was a little while back and it was some of the most fun I've had in a looooong time in this game. 13 games on him in my last like 40? And 69% wr on him. Granted, these are norms, and many of them were before the AP rework.
