there is talk of a swain update, here are my hopes about it
I am a swain main.
I think his updated pass should be restore 3-20% hp OR mana depending on which is lower based on dmg dealt .
his q is fine, i only suggest it cd be 10 sec at all ranks(would actually like all his abilites 10 sec cd at all ranks so they are in sync(q & w both 10cd at max rank anyway, an e already like that) an that still longer cd than most other champ abilities that do even more dmg)
his w I feel like it could be turned into his gap closer, currently you snare someone , you go in an by time your r is in range they are unsnared. i would like it to where you can reactivate it for more mana an you go where your w was. also decrease range an increase are effected
e is where the main update is needed, before they changed his q from target to aoe his e was his main source of poke an dmg, not it just bland an doesn't do much an turned him into focus minions champ. I also feel this is where it could the most make him seem like a master tactician.
change his e into aoe(so works better with pass, range 700 area 325 so all his abilities sync up an you can actually lead w/ his e ) but here is where can be added "WHILE marked if target DIES furture dmg is increased by 1-5%,& if target kills swain their future dmg to swain is reduced by 1-5%" an it gets quotes, kill: "this time was easy enough, next time will be even easier", died "you won this battle, but you will lose the war." I was even thinking adding while marked dmg to swain is reduced by 20%.
his r just add when hit send out another raven at attacker.
