Thoughts on how Swain will change based on these mage updates?

Oakleaf Ranger··1 votes·266 views

Even after the nerf I still enjoy playing him because I like his play style. I'm very curious how the possible mage changes would impact him in terms of item buildpaths, matchups, power, etc. Probably the most important question for me is will he be stronger or weaker cause of these changes and how will this impact his laning? I want hit the ground running when the mage update goes live with swain and continue to 1 v the world #livetheswaindream Swain

The ROA changes seem iffy on him, but the belt could be useful. The big fear I always have with Swain is slot efficiency and junk, since he works so well with stat sticks - and they're taking those away, and making some of his bulky anti-burst items weaker (Zhonya nerf with less AP and a longer active cooldown for example) As per usual all we can do is wait and see. There are plans to rework him at some point, so stay wary fellow bird man :P (Here's to hoping they keep him as the badass DOT drain tank he is today... And give him back his one point wonder W!)
