You won't be forgotten. I'll never let go of the memories of the monstrous bird-morphing general laying DoT down across the battlefield. I'll miss your waveclear and your power amp. I'll never forget your swagger, your carefree walk (or, in Tyrant, your commanding approach).

This new champion? Cool visuals. Interesting abilities. Not Swain.

If we approach from the western flank.. Oh, who am I kidding, let's just morph in to a bird and eat them!

Forgive me, I'm just weary of all the negativity.

It makes me feel like I have to be negative too if I want to join conversations, and trying to force myself to think along lines that I don't want to is mentally exhausting.

when riot was touching base with swain's playerbase about his update, we were promised his theme of a bird DoT mage would take priority over a field-manipulating strategist. we have nothing of the sort. the only display of his flock is in his passive, and the wings when he ults. nothing about this swain is at all similar to the old swain. this isn't the same champion, it's someone else with the same name.

Warwick: Kept his identity, took the most relevant parts of his kit and capitalized on them, made him scary

Galio: Kept his identity, took the most relevant parts of his kit and capitalized on them, made him a full bulwark

Urgot: Kept his identity, took the most relevant parts of his design and capitalized on them, made him a torture-porn sadist cyborg monster

Fiora: Kept her identity, took the most relevant parts of her theme and capitalized on them, made her a brutal 1v1 duellist

Swain: DID YOU SAY VLADIMIR??
