There will be a vote at the end of this post, but before you vote because of an old favorite just think about the two and what they would be like in game (now personally I like Phoenix Swain more, but that doesn't mean I don't like Dragon Master)

Phoenix Swain. Imagine a swain wearing bright gold and red armor with a phoenix on his shoulder. His Q would just be a line of flame, not much you can do with that ability. His W indicator would be a pool of flames and the root would be phoenix talons rooting them to the ground. His E, naturally, would be a ball of fire, and its effect animation on the target would have them burning. His ult would have him transform into a phoenix, wreathed in a celestial halo of flame and shooting flames out at opponents. His voice would have a celestial, godly sound to it, like Syndra and Sona, only a sound resonating power wisdom and authority more than anything else. His death animation would have him and his bird explode in flames and burn into a pile of ash, with his respawn animation having him rise out of the ashes.

Dragon Master Swain. An old favorite. No need to explain the model visuals. I imagine the voice would be much like Phoenix Swain's, but with a touch of Shyvanna in dragon form. His Q would likely be the same as well. His W would use Dragon talons instead. E would be the same. Ult would have him transform into a dragon, likely with the same particle effects.

Overall, the two skins are very similar, almost the only difference is in the model.

Dragon master in my opinion would look better. but the effects should change a little more.

Phoenixes are cool, but dragons are awesome. Dragons need more love in League and it's just the kind of bad ass thing that Swain, the guy who rose to power over Noxus, deserves. Plus there is so much potential for Smaug jokes it's not funny. XD

I am for Phoenix Swain. Swain is a champion with a bird, not a dragon, although dragon master Swain would be cool. The thing is, when dragon champions or skins do come out, if there are already 70 out there, it's that less valuable. I feel like dragons should be kept scarce for their value. Ao Shin may be coming out this year! Since the only other dragon being Shyvana (half-dragon), I guarantee people will be buying him within the first hour out. Dragons just aren't quite Swains lore.

I got to say as bad ass as Dragon Master Swain would be Phoenix Swain is just sounds to epic. That aside there is already a lot of dragon skins out there and Phoenix Swain just fits seems to me to fit Swain's Theme so much better.

Phoenix swain all the way!!!!!! besides it stay consistent to his lore a bird as a companion, besides making sense with his kit decrepify being the one to correlate less but still with torment it make sense it has a dot effect (burning) and anything taken for the next 4 secs would hurt more since he is scorched, nevermore would be a flame circle which if you think about it it leaves you tramped, and a phoenix form would not only be epic with a sustained the constant aoe embers or even rays of light i think they have done so many of swain as a dark character it be a nice change to see him in a more benevolent light.

Phoenix Swain would seem like the typical 'firey' skins that other champs get. Of course it'll look cool, and have the fire effect, but uh, maybe having adventured too much in the Firelands during the Cataclysm expac for WoW, I'm not that excited.

Dragonmaster is at this point, more of a meme than legit skin idea. It'll be cool, but honestly I didn't like the original design. It's too busy, and I still think it should have a headdress.

I'm actually leaning more towards that Dracula themed vampire bat skin someone else made on DeviantArt. It just looks much more interesting and different, plus makes the 'life sapping vampiric' thematic sense. It would be a great Harrowing skin.

Phoenix Swain does sound like a pretty good idea. However, I still am partial to dragon master Swain
