Can Swain get a buff?

Honestly I have not played Swain a lot, but here recently I started playing him and I really enjoy his kit. The only issue is he seems to be outclassed by other mages because all he has to offer is his passive and ultimate. When you play Swain early game he has low damage with bad mana sustain, you receive 3% of your mana back if you kill a unit with your Q. This can be useful if you build and but overall you do not have enough maximum mana for it to make a difference. I believe a good way to make the mana refund stronger is give the scaling on the mana refund increase per rank on Swain's Q ability. The only reason why I feel this buff is just is because Swain's laning phase is pretty bad compared to some of the other top tier mid laners and he doesn't quite scale enough to be worth picking.

he is getting a gameplay rework next patch

they are moving his mana sustain from his q to his passive they are making his lane trading better by making the Q pass through units always they are making his ult be usable at all times they are giving him health scaling that is probably going to be a little bit insignificant but it's something and nerfing his burst to compensate but increasing his sustain i think

Haha it’s ok. I love Swain too and have been able to do well. But he’s he feels like the old feast or famine which is what they were trying to avoid by reworking him in the first place. So I’m glad this change is coming. Can’t wait.
