Why was Swain ruined?

He was fine how he was, if this change was made so bad Swain players could succeed then I am sincerely annoyed, he is a fkng tactician, he has to plan all of his moves, he should not be like every other character, the idea of having to set up his ultimate to become usable is what makes Swain satisfying, the idea that you're behind in hp in lane so you land a predicted E and pull back their life into your own is so cool. F off with your it doesn't fit the thematic. I already know you guys did this change to match his Team Fight Tactics version. I honestly believe none of you who made this change seriously put time into Swain, you probably had 2 players on your balance team decide that you are little pansies and want to ult and defend base after getting caught clearing super minions way too high up. Swain isn't Rengar, you don't get to remove what makes him unique. Master Tactician has now become poor mans Amumu

Nothing about him was "tactical" before these changes. You didnt set up his ultimate because by the time your ult was back up if you didnt have at least 1 stack you were trolling.

His E is the same, instead of "stealing" some small amount of health, now you actually keep that health forever.

I dont get the rengar comparison

I liked the "Old Swain". The current escapee from Harry Potter (without Beatrice) is not my Swain. Bring back old Swain.

He seems better at trading with his e w combo in lane now, hes not as reliant on waiting for his q to be maxed to be any threat.

Infact that's all you should be doing in lane, e + w the enemy to heal back up, damage them alittle and get 10 hp everytime you do it.
