Rip Swain
While the new character is cool and all... This Swain doesn't have a play-style anywhere near the old swain - I just seem to be spamming Q rather than planning my zone control and which target to amplify damage on. The new Swain's character seems to be more of a warrior character rather than a strategist - He never possessed physical strength, just his strategic thinking.
I suppose we should welcome the "new" guy.

That's the point. Old Swain was extremely boring to play. In addition he was a balancing nightmare because he was either a complete god nobody could deal with, or completely worthless to the point it felt like you were trolling if you picked him.
[sg-janna] i cry
i will miss my old main
The old swain was absolute cancer though. Just throw a bunch of DOTs and run around with ult on.
swain didn't need rework, he just needed an update adjustment, such has having his pass gain him mana or hp based on which is lower based on dmg dealt, q add blind and silence(animation Beatrice pecking interact w/ e for 2x dmg lose silence blind Beatrice animation beam), e aoe "WHILE marked dmg to swain is reduced by 20%, and if target DIES furture dmg is increased by 5%,& if target kills swain their future dmg to swain is reduced by 5%"increase range so can lead w/ it w when snare enemy champ gain ms, 10sec cd all ranks R when hit send out another raven at attacker(increase mana cost/for current mana cost) to counter that he can only send one every other second
they made a new champ, plain and simple, and they did a crap job of it.
