Is this Swain Leak true? If so I'm disappointed.

Passive -- Raven Mode at 15% HP. Becomes invulnerable for 3s and is healed after for 15% damage taken in those 3 seconds. (80s+ CD)

Q - Aoe effect Raven swoops down hitting a enemy in a direction, if hit again roots.

W- N/A

E - Same but slows with Raven Visuals around them.

R -- Shows about a quarter of the map for allies to see it. If enemies are in that radius they're slowed for 3s then spreads toxin from the center.

As a Swain Main please god tell me this is fake, I have never felt so disappointed in reading something almost in my life.

His Ult is what made him glorious for me, at least let him somewhat keep that, not make it a passive.. Lol.

Agreed, that kit just looks lame af. Especially since they kept the E. Why? That ability is so unintuitive, boring, and annoying to face. And why does he use poison? I'm guessing this is fake though, doesn't even seem that strong.

Pretty sure it's fake. The kit is extremely bland and uninteractive, Riot wouldn't rework Swain into this.

As a semi Swain fan yeah.... That just... Riot strikes again. I hope it ain't real.

Oh gosh, that feels so underwhelming, i don't even play Swain and that kit legit feels bad. That passive is a joke, it's a bad Aatrox passive. Only the ult has potential, and i feel like it would be awkward on Swain...

I'm not so much disappointed I knew they were going to change it but to me this just feels lazy like the whole reason he was being rework is because he supposedly was not interactive and his kit was feast or famine but this legit does nothing for him like there is no interactions no mechanics? His e is still point and click with a slow now instead of the q+e combo they legit bunched it up, I'm not sure about the passive how long does it last does it cost Mana? Legit lazy they literally did the zhonyas combo again making not interactive

Not even situational it's a wait for cooldown to be overly aggressive, legit the people saying he is a brain dead champ well he is now, legit you don't even Activate his passive it does it for you literally an anivia passive where you get a second chance. And his ult the most lazy ass shit ever basically a Ashe or quin sized reveal with a slow and toxins? He doesn't even have poisons how is this thematically him and the ult just feels slapped on I don't get how it would interact with the kit so far we have a q that you will have to land twice which not sure if it goes through minions or I'm guessing like a karma q, a "w" that is unknown (Honestly hope it's some variation of nevermove that was iconic), "e" which is basically a lazy way of combining his slow with his dot and an ult that is on a high cooldown to what reveal his surroundings? A slow stacked on another slow? Not sure how this plays into him cause unless they are going to give him a significant amount of burst this just has failure written all over it not to mention un interactive.

Literally your main damage will be coming from one key your q because I'm assuming that Its a short cooldown it is not a dot and your "e" which is 2 keys so far not consistent dmg besides his dot that never did that much unless you combo in something, an an ult that slows I'm sure the damage will be easy to avoid unless you are next to him since it's from the center out and I'm guessing he will have to stay stationary to activate it, on a high cooldown which you will probably use every other two fights so I fail to see how this is an improvement the niche of Swain is he had the ability to continuously damage a dot mage now not so much with an out of place ult. Hopefully it's just a mock up or they add more mechanics to it. But I would not be surprised if they finish with that and call it a day Swain has always been shafted with skins his kit had been fine but the minute he sees the light of day o good no he is op his kit is toxic 😥.

Swain's rework is at least 2-3 months away, and you think this is his final kit? Please...

At most it's an iteration that has been tested

Considering that some champions sound awesome on paper and turn out underwhelming and vice versa, I'm reserving judgment until I see the rework hit the PBE.

Those leaks usually aren't 100% true. The Evelynn leak said she would only be stealthed near walls and the Urgot leak said that you controlled the claw to drag them into his stomach.

The original ''leak'' looks like it's written by a 9 y/o so idk.

I like the idea of one of his skills being a reveal map ability of some kind. It makes sense for a tactician champion.

Catastrop10/22/2017, 4:27:39 PM1 votes

That is fake AF, it has no coherency whatsoever
