ust wanted to know your opinion about swain, as a swain main of course im a bit mad about this nerf that for me make no sence. I dont think swain was even a good mid before the nerf he has bad range except for his snared , has no mobility, pretty bad wave clear and long cooldowns. I know he is strong in fight beacause he got good damage and sustain but i mean he is so weak in lane against good wave clear champs or assasins that can roam and push way more .. also can fall really bad if the game is not going well so i dont know.. i'm pretty sure that many champions would have need a nerf instead of swain..

There was a lot of discussion about this last month before the patch was released. I'm a Swain main as well, and I'm personally quite unhappy about this nerf. When I was playing Swain exclusively mid (now I am trying to main Cass as well), I got the point where I was able to vs any other mid champion. However, because of this nerf, it makes it impossible to lane against many longer range opponents (ie, Lux, Velkoz, Xerath). The cutdown time on the snare prevents it from being useful in landing all of Swain's other combos. Since Swain's range is short compared to most other mages, he needs that additional time on his snare to get to the opponent to land some spells. Otherwise, he's too close of a range. Since Lux had all her buffs last season, she is pretty much almost impossible to lane against anymore.
