Swains W is useless

It will mostly be used for utility tbh, I don't even think the damage on the ability will be anything even noteworthy.

Mostly things like scouting out the enemy jungler, getting vision on objectives, or followup CC to chain the slow.

Really though, the ability is a bit gimmicky unless you can land it on multiple targets to charge your ult.

It's not useless at a Drake or Baron where the team is tunnelled on the objective and it gives wardless vision of an Objective you KNOW is going to be taken. It's also not useless in say ganking bot and blocking their escape which makes the team choose to run into your W, or turn and face your adc/support.

You need to learn to use it predictory, and not reactively. Know the choices champs have to make around it. Block their paths. Catch them when they are in a tight corridor of jungle with nowhere to go. Catch them when they are turret diving to block them in.

I like it, the New swain really is a tactician, You can Figure out their location with it and also deal damage if you can predict your opponent. Just putting it in front of you when an enemy is running at you such as nasus is an alternative

You use it as you root/pull them with E getting two stacks

I do not like the Swain rework. RIOT took away Swain's best ability, his Q skill. That raven Q skill did amazing damage, slow-down, and covered a large area. I loved it. Swain was already an awesome tactician with all of his skills. #Notallreworksaregood
