Top Lane Swain feels like pre-rework Top Lane Morde....
.....and I fricken love it!
Back in season 4, Morde was my most played champ, hands down, with 105 games on him (40+ over my next champ which was Diana). I would always take him top, and I would dominate with him. He was a 2v1 machine back then! If you were to come and gank me, you'd best be ready for one hell of a fight.
The new Swain isn't as much of a 2v1 machine as old Morde was, but due to top lane not getting alot of love from junglers lately, he can easily dominate the lane in most matchups, and get a few kills. Come then, he can easily 2v1.....maybe even 3v1 if you play it right.
I was a bit saddened to see my top lane Morde go........but, alas, all good things must come to an end. However, I do feel as if I finally found a worthy replacement for my very first "true" main.
