Why do people think Swain needs buffs?

I have never seen anyone suggest a buff for Swain before the dude in this thread. Swain is decent or on the strong side, much like Jax.

Swain has alot of bad matchups and hard counter items (morello's and executioner's calling specifically). Vladimir struggles with this too.

Because there is so much that counters him

He is a sustain damage/heal champion that has to rush into the enemy team and that can be focused down and killed easily W is only form of CC and is hard to land Morello, ignite, and executioners calling

I'm not asking for buffs, im asking for a swain that can be played at a higher level without getting oneshot, without getting heals denied. It would make playing him and and against him so much less cancer, and he is just balanced around things that completely destroys him and his kit

All he has is sustain, he doesn't so much damage and is easily kited and immobile. He has to stick to an adc for like 10 seconds to actually kill them. The reason why he's strong is because of his ability to 1v2+ very well. Like Brand.

who asked for a swain buff?

the dude counters almost every melee top lane

Are people actually asking for swain buffs? I'd consider banning him if I didn't already have to use my ban on Cait or Camille.

he needs a nerf not a buff. his passive is stupidly overpowered he just spamms crows and his little ball aids without ever running out of mana as long as he has 10cs per minute lmfao.

He's very meh nowadays, even more awkward to build than he used to be which is an accomplishment

That depends, what do you mean by OP?

Fuck that hes broken. Literally un-killable with a spirt visage
