Swain

PASSIVE- Demonic Companion: Beatrice suspiciously follows Swain around Summoner's Rift. Passive: Swain's ravens and Beatrice give him sight (300 radius) and deal damage to any enemies they encounter (1 per 1% of target's missing health)(+1 per 6 AP). Enemies cannot be damaged by the same Raven for 4/3/2 seconds at level 1/7/13

Q- Carrion Bait Beatrice harasses enemies in target area, damaging and rooting (1.5s) them after a short 1s delay 40/80/120/160/200 (.4AP) Cooldown 12/11/10/9/8

W- Unkindness of Ravens Active: Send a raven to a target area up to 1500/2000/2500/3000/3500 units away. Ravens return to Swain and continue patrolling until he dies. Maximum flock: 1/2/3/4/5 (6 if you count Beatrice). Flock stocks +1 every 18/16/14/12/10 seconds -1 per enemy taken down (max5) [If Swian has vanquished all his enemies: 13/11/9/7/5]

E- Murder of Crows Swain calls his ravens to plunge into the eyes of target enemy, blinding (1s) and dealing their damage. Cooldown 14/12/10/8/6. Ravens stop patrolling while Murder of Crows is on cooldown, but not Beatrice. She likes to stick around for the carnage. If the target dies, Murder of Crows cooldown is refreshed.

R- Demonic Possession Swain becomes one of his ravens, changing form and position with it and fearing all enemies he sees for 1/2/3 seconds. If self-cast, Swain will possess Beatrice instead, and half the cooldown is refunded. Cooldown 100/80/60

TL;DR: Instead of a slightly more complex version of what we already have, this is my take on what a Possessed Tacticianer might do. Thanks Sir Ender for some of the ideas.

they made a new champ, plain and simple, and they did a crap job of it.

Long story short, the updated Swain is just a bit edgier than the old. He's basically the same champion, and barely a Master Tactician! He's much more like an assassin than a battle general or mastermind.

swain didn't need rework, he just needed an update adjustment, such has having his pass gain him mana or hp based on which is lower based on dmg dealt, q add blind and silence(animation Beatrice pecking interact w/ e for 2x dmg lose silence blind Beatrice animation beam), e aoe "WHILE marked dmg to swain is reduced by 20%, and if target DIES furture dmg is increased by 5%,& if target kills swain their future dmg to swain is reduced by 5%"increase range so can lead w/ it w when snare enemy champ gain ms, 10sec cd all ranks R when hit send out another raven at attacker(increase mana cost/for current mana cost) to counter that he can only send one every other second
