0-1-4 just dropped me a chest on Swain...

Possible a little underpowered, if that's like top 5% of Swain games...?

  • his CC is MUCH too unreliable for a champion who has little-to-no other anti-burst measures. I.e. his root is a skillshot, and delayed by at least a second, that just doesn't save you against assassins, especially ones that automatically land behind you after blink/dash
  • his ult has a very high cooldown AND ANOTHER TWO CONDITIONS on it, like wtf, if it has 120 seconds on lvl 16 it needs high baseline effectiveness
  • he needs too much levels to function. Multiple his abilities simply need levels. That won't work in fast-paced games of these days
  • he has high AP scalings that he can't use, because lack of anti-burst measures forces him to build lots of tankness. And inb4 someone says 'ult', 150 HP doesn't save you from some lvl 6 assassin, it just doesn't

Now, I'm not saying all of those are wrong, and I fucking love the rework, but at least one issue needs fixing if he is to be on par with other champs.

Resets or no, I never was close to getting a chest on 0 kills game, be it a totally new champ or a completely gutted one.

I agree that he does feel a little underpowered right now. But I will also say that he has plenty of room for mastering.

His E is the best thing about this. At max range, it's an instant root, so, mastering that, and it's range will be crucial to mastering all of Swain.

I don't think he needs more damage buff, per-se, instead, I think he just needs some better cooldowns, or quicker cast times. Yes, those still do equate to more damage, but you get what I mean.

There is one thing I'd like to suggest to you though......try taking ghost on him. Use it when you hit activate your ult..........you may just be surprised.
