"swain is hard to 1v5 with" "cant beleive i got that penta" "what is my luck, always end up getting fed" "#outsustained" Swain mains will often say these bull**** lines thinking they're cool and good at this game when in truth they're just a bunch of freelo abusers, blazing off to diamond 1.
You should try wearing diapers. I used to have accidents when I was growing up too. It used to really stress me out. Finally I bought myself a pack of diapers and started wearing them whenever I may not have immediate access to toilets. I felt so much better not have that worry hanging over me. Now I wear them pretty regularly. You should try it.
Difference between a good swain and a bad swain... Bad Swain: 1v5 Pentakill Good Swain 1v5 Pentakill while taking Baron
Swain main, first of all, you can't assume that. I am probably one of the nicest people you will ever play with. I always say GLHF in the beginning, I EXTREMELY rarely argue with my team, and in the few cases I do, I am never the one that started it, and usually try to diffuse the situation rather than escalate it. Second of all, how many Swain mains have you faced? I would honestly be surprised if you have seen more than 3 in the past month unless you play 10+ games a day. Swain is balanced. W is hard to hit because half of the enemy mids have an escape. The only reliable way to land it is to tag them with a Q first. Q is easy to get out of unless you cast it at extremely close range. If you need help with a matchup you should instead ask how to play against a certain champ. For example, most Swain players max W (AoE Snare) last, which means that have EXTREMELY weak pushing power. (18 second CD, 80 dmg) This means they have awful wave clear until 6 which slighty helps but it still sucks. Play a safe long range pusher, like Xerath, Gragas, Lux etc. If Swain doesn't snowball and get a couple kills off of you or roaming, then he will be meh for the rest of the game. If he does snowball, I would say he probably snowballs just about as hard as Fizz does.

Yeah, I'm so sick of seeing Swain in the LCS. He's so stupid good and just wins every game he doesn't get banned in...
OH WAIT.
Seriously, I know LCS isn't the only metric by which we should judge the game/champ, but I can't think of a single time Swain has been picked in a professional match (I'm sure he has, you don't need to prove it to me, the point is its is incredibly rare). That says a lot.
I'll admit to not having a lot of experience with the match-up, but he should be pretty easy to pick into. Just about any champ with a dash type ability, or anyone who outranges him. Ziggs has both of those. Fizz and Kat both have a dash AND grievous wounds, so those should be easy victories. Syndra and Xerath also probably have an upper hand in that it should be hard for him to close on them to land his snare.
If he picks into you, first, good for him. Second, you can still take ignite, and/or buy Morellonomicon to counter him. Grab a bunch of potions early and just farm for your life. If he wins by counter-picking you and then capitalizing on that, well, it happens.
And before you counter that you are only complaining about the people who play Swain, don't bother. You wouldn't be complaining about them if you weren't losing to Swain. Learn to win against him and it wont matter how easy he is for people to play, or what those people say.
