My problem with the "NEW" Swain is he is not unique anymore you can find it like this

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/3pdd9Xrc-swain-rework#oembed-content-modal

related to Saruman, Lucius Malfoy, Star Wars Emperor, to an infinite and beyond of generic mages, mixed with cloths of evil generic villain with a resemblance of Nazi character (Just left the svastic somewhere).

And skills dont help, he have thunders from starwars emperor, the Sauroon´s Eye, and a evil hand made of blood or something like that, the only unique in the "NEW" swain is what left of his old R, because now even the passive, a strategic element of know when atack, and save mana to make the real assault to your foe, has ben changed by stacks, what is already so cliche on this game who you can find it in almost any, new/reworked champ.

The worst has been his change of attitude and lore, now he is not anymore a mysterious char, because is so generic who I already know what is gonna be his next step (Atack Demacia directly) and try of kill J4 is in his list.

So... He is related to Black Rose? definitely, and he is not using the Black Rose to his purposes, he is inside of Black Rose as a member to hold the power in Black Rose -.-

Geez is so generic who I cant resist it and Im gonna ask to Riot kick it out from my pool champ to dont buy it never more.

Sorry my bad english -.-!

I don't blame you honestly. The rework was incredibly difficult to wrap my own head around in terms of lore and new gameplay. I don't want to comment on "generic" and "cliche" since I think it's not particularly helpful at expressing the specific issue, but there are seriously dozens of different ways that people dislike the new Swain and we actually can't stop any of it since it's literally Riot's own game. Been feeling like I don't exactly belong in League for quite a while now and while I don't think this is enough to properly push me off the edge, I'm just sitting on it right now.
