@Rito: As a Swain Main I'm spooked.

I've heard many rumors and hints that Swain is getting a full relaunch after Yorick. I really like his current lore, so I'm hoping it's like GP where his lore is just extended. I'm hoping he still turns into his awesome Raven form, I hope he's still immobile and tanky'ish, and I hope he sustains. If he keeps all of this and is still a DoT Mage, I will be happy. His W has little need to change imo, his E could be tweaked. His Q should/could be scrapped, but keep the Beatrice interaction. Maybe. He could use a new passive? I just want riot to ask the few Swain Mains out their what WE like about Swain and what we want to keep. Sure, if it's the fact he only has one ability you can dodge you can change that, but so is Lux's E undodgable if you don't have a mobility spell, and her E is larger with more damage and more range. If they posted a post about the community likes about Swain, I would love it. If the rework goes like Shen and Gangplank who I played and still do play quite a bit of, then I will jump for joy. In my opinion, the Shen and GP reworks were successful, and I hope Swains is too. I know his kit isn't the healthiest, nor the most balanced, but he's a pretty cool character.

Only champions confirmed for reworks are Yorick and Ryze, but they do have another that they are trying to push out this year but haven't confirmed who yet as it's too early on.

No I Know, but there have been other hints that Swain is going to be Reworked... I hope its down well like Shen or Gangplank.

I'm pretty sure its warwick, but when/if they do change him I hope he still can morph into a bird monster. Honestly the best part about playing swain is when u get fed you can 1v3 maybe 1v5 if really fed. I don't mind a rework but as long his play style feels the same then I wouldn't mind. I could definitely see a change to his q and passive happening though

I hope its WW 2 xD

As long as his gameplay is similar, he can turn into a bird, and his similar role is intact, I will likely still play him again. Of course there are smaller things like his sustain (I LOVE champs with built in sustain), his immobility, decent tankyness, Beatrice interaction (Which is currently on his Q), and I like the fact he uses his wits more then someone like Garen who wants to "Break their ranks" and just crash into battle.
